Thanks Frank. Funnily enough I found this thread yesterday on Ducati.ms too! I've sent it up to Neil for a read and we'll think about the 999 wheels after Mallory this weekend.

Having said that, I'm still now tempted to just buy some standard SS fitment Marchesini or Carrozzeria wheels and be done with it!

Phil have you contacted Dymag as they always use to offer a ACU discount to those using their product for racing and it was certainly a discount worth having

Well, I contacted PDQ and Solo Corse regarding Dymag products. The feedback I've received is that Dymag have somewhat of a production problem at the moment. Wheels are being delivered between 6 - 8 weeks after an order is made. However, the ones I really want, which are the 3-spoke Carbon/Magnesium wheels (to match the one I bought from Alan Knight recently) are on a 10 week delay!

I did think about having that wheel myself whei I was down at Alan's and Charlottes garage sale over Xmas/New Year, its a lovely bit of kit.
Whele has a set for his 998 Baylis taht he had for his 996SPS in Sound of Thunder and got them from Dymag with the discount.
Other than Dymag my next port of call for Dymag wheels would normally be Harris Performance https://www.harris-performance.com/website/acatalog/copy_of_Dymag_Wheels.html
But they don't seem to be listing the 3 spokes this year and quote 4 weeks for the mags for the bikes in the drop down list which doesn't include Ducati
