FREE SHIPPING AND A FREE REAR SPROCKET WITH ALL CZ WHEELS
Carrozzeria is the pioneer of
Forged Aluminum Wheels for Motorcycles, which allows them to create
a product that is lighter, stronger, more durable, and longer
lasting than any other wheels available on the market.
Their
products allows for enhanced ride ability, and lighter overall
weight of the vehicle.
These wheels are custom made upon order, please allow
3 weeks for delivery.
This is the rim weight with Cush Drive
system
Carrozzeria v-star forged
aluminum
Weight: front: 8.1 lbs.; rear: 13.00
lbs
Marchesini forged aluminum
Weight: front: 7.64
lbs.; rear: 13.80 lbs.
Performance Machine
Revolution
Weight: front: 9.14 lbs.; rear: 13.16
lbs.
PVM Forged Aluminum Y5
Weight: front: 7.96
lbs.; rear: 13.44 lbs.
A stock rear GSXR wheel weighs
about 17.5 lbs.
The Fronts - Stock 13.5 lbs
The
Weight savings is approx. 4-5 lbs per rim.
That comes out
to: 16 oz. x 5 lbs = 80 oz Weight savings on average per
Rim
It's huge when you take into account that 1 oz. on 17"
Rims is = to 25 lbs of rotating mass at 100mph.
So, if we
do the math, 80 oz. x 25 =
2000 lbs of rotating mass is
removed from your rims.
That is Huge.
Think how much
faster your bike can accelerate without that weight.
And
how much faster your top end is, without that weight |

Carrozzeria
Wheels - Details and Specifications
Engineered Racing
Products is proud to be a dealer for Carrozzeria forged
rims.
Forged rims have many
advantages over stock or aftermarket cast wheels
-
Carrozzeria Forged Rims are made from wrought 6151-T6
which has an inherently better “grain”
structure and is not only stronger then cast wheels, but more
uniform and consistent in quality. To
illustrate I have compared the strength of the material used in
Carrozzeria forged rims with the strongest casting alloys listed
in an engineering text. As I do not know what
material is used in stock or aftermarket cast wheels I listed the
highest strength cast alloys listed. In reality
the difference may actually be greater than shown. Also cast wheels are much more likely to have internal
defects which will reduce the properties even more.

Carrozzeria rims will
not crack like cast magnesium wheels and will provide superior
durability to the stock wheel.

Carrozzeria Forged
Rims are 20–40% lighter than stock, depending on model. Reducing
weight on a motorcycle will always make it accelerate, corner and
brake better, but some weight reductions are much more valuable
then others. Motorcycle weight can be classified in two ways;
sprung or unsprung and rotating or non-rotating. Wheel weight is both rotating and unsprung, which as you
will read is the most significant weight to remove.
-
Sprung weight is
everything that suspension holds up, unsprung weight is the wheel,
sprocket, caliper, disks, axle and
a percentage of the shock and swing arm. Unsprung weight is the nemesis of the suspension in the war
to maintain tire contact with the tarmac. The
less unsprung weight the more effectively the suspension and
ultimately the tires can do their jobs. To explain this lets
pretend you had a job in which you had to raise and lower a hammer
as moving obstacles came by on some sort of moving conveyor belt.
First you had a hammer with a 1 pound head. As the conveyor belt
moved faster at some point it would become impossible to move
quickly enough and the hammer would be hit be an
obstacle. If you used a hammer with a ½ pound
head you would be able to negotiate the moving obstacles at a
greater speed. Now imagine the hammerhead is
the wheel, your wrist is the suspension system and the moving
conveyor with obstacles is the bumpy tarmac. This is why most cars
have independent suspensions. Reducing unsprung
weight will improve the traction especially in bumpy
corners.
-
Rotating weight on a
motorcycle counts twice every time you accelerate or
brake. The reason for this is the engine must
increase both the wheels’ linear velocity as well as their rotational velocity. It is a little more
complicated in reality, but each pound you remove from the wheels
is equal to approximately 2 or more pounds removed from the
chassis. Reducing the weight of you wheels will allow your bike to
not only accelerate faster, but brake better as
well.
-
An additional benefit
to reducing rotating weight it the reduction in gyro effect of the wheels. The easiest way to understand
this is to conduct an experiment at home. Get the front wheel off
your bicycle. Hold the axle with your hands and
have a partner spin the wheel at a moderate speed. As the wheel
spins pretend you are the forks and “turn” the wheel. You now have a feel for gyroscopic
forces. Now imagine what a motorcycle wheel
with much greater weight and speed goes through when you attempt
to change directions quickly in a in a series of turns.
-
Carrozzeria rims
enhance acceleration, braking and handling making them
dollar-for-dollar one of the best performance modifications you
can make without the jetting, noise and reliability problems
associated with engine modifications.
-
Carrozzeria Forged
rims are JWL, the Japanese equivalent to DOT, approved for use on
street vehicles, so you can be sure the wheels are safe for street
use. Many other aftermarket rims are not approved for street
use.
-
Carrozzeria rims are
either anodized or Nickel Chrome plated for a durable long lasting
finish, especially when compared to the stock painted wheel.
Carrozzeria rims will look good for a long
time.
-
Carrozzeria rims are
stylish. Give your bike a distinctive
look.
