I'm thinking of changing the wheels on my 111R from the standard ones to ultra lightweight forged jobbies of the same size. I believe they are about 2kg per corner lighter (and look great). Has anyone done this and if so can you really feel any difference or would it be a waste of money?

I had a chat with Wayne at Sinclaires, the ultra light ones felt pretty light (Dymag?) but they are approx £2.4K plus vat!!!!!

Most people (well me anyway!) couldn't tell the difference. If you're running standard suspension you're far more likely to notice the difference if you upgraded to Nitron/Ohlins.
