I like the look of black wheels on the Dukes. Are they new?

They are very similar to 848 wheels but a slightly different spoke shape, they are Marchesini 10 spoke forged Aluminium, I've had them 2 years & they are much, much lighter than my old 3-spokes and, IMO look much better too (if not original), only downsides are that they are harder to clean although being black I can leave them longer and bleeding the rear brake is harder, especially if I want to remove the caliper as it means removing the wheel first whereas before I could 'reach' in.
Not cheap but they totally rejuvenated the bike, making it turn much easier & better, even making it feel faster and the brakes better - by far the best performance mod I've made.
