Offtopic: aluminium rims supplied by the factory?

Is this true?

Maybe. The "Vespa 125 lighter type specific for Sweden", but only VNS3-VNS6, had unique rims according to Piaggio's spare parts list (Elenco Generale from 1967):

Wheel rim 56610 (left half) weight: 0,500 kg, 56608 (right half) weight: 1,070 kg.

As a comparison the "normal" left half 2/14345 (for VN1-VNB/VL1-VBB) weighs 0,680. And the right half, 14342, weighs 1,200 kg.

So Piaggio managed to remove about 300 grams per wheel. If they were made of aluminium I don't know.

The seller doesn't specify which version this is though.
