So I found some Marchesini wheels that I want to buy. the donor bike is a 2002 900ss. I have a 2001 S4. same wheel sizes (17 X 3.5, and 17 X 5.5) does anyone see any issue with these wheels working on my bike?

That rear wheel looks like it's a small axle.
Unless those are magnesium, there's no real advantage over the OEM 5-spokers that came on the S4.
right now i've got the monster 1000 3 spokes on there. How do i find out what size axle I have right now? Thanks for the help speeddog!
your bike has 25mm axles front and rear.

Awesome! Thanks, that saved me some research!
Those wheels are very rare ,they are the only 5 spoke ducati wheels which fit the older monsters
i would sell my neighbors cats to get those wheels on my M900.
what if your neighbor said they would chop your balls off if you messed with their cats? would you sell your balls off for those wheels? :P
i would not, however Stanley (a female cat) is around our house so much, it'd be like selling of my own cat.
well they are on the EBay :
