Anyone know the composition and weight of teh Marchesini wheels on the S2? Are they forged? Looking for a light set of wheels for a vintage racer at reasonable cost and thought these might fit the bill. Thanks.

The Marchesini wheels were sand cast, which explains the texture of the unmachined areas.

The weight data for tuber wheels is very well known from an old Battle 2Win article - which, unfortunately, I don't have handy.

A search on here might produce the weight data,

Thanks guys. Looks like they are about the same as most stock wheels which are also cast aluminium.
