The later bikes seem to have oz copies, a genuine wheel was forged and has oz stamped here...







All the info is covered by the disks and sproket, oz is on one side , and the size and batch is on the other. It is stamped on the forged item not raised as is the cast ones which weigh 40 % more !

The original oz wheels were anodized for lightness, badly cared for bikes often have been powder coated which adds weight !

Many thanks for pictures
The bike i was after had ohlins front and back but the wheels where forged
 
Forged wheels are lighter than cast.....

Later bikes don't have forged wheels...
 
Be careful, there are 2 type of forged wheels, one for radial brakes and one for gen 1 with normal brakes. Gen 1 forged wheels do not have the word "forged" in the rim.
