Since the DP wheels are no longer available, what options are out there for replacement wheels? The only ones I've seen are Carrozzeria.
OZ

Anybody have any experience with Carrozzeria wheels? How do they compare to Marchesini or OZ? They look pretty nice and the price seems reasonable...
Go to GMF type Carrozzeria wheels into the search box. Several threads.

No worries. General Monster Forum. You normally get more hits if you search from there or the home page.

todays the last day to save 20% off OZ's, but carrozerias seem heavy for a aftermarket wheel. i picked up a set of OZ while the gettin was good, but haven't mounted them yet.
don't pay attention to MW's site about wheel weights. most of the weight listed are for SSS superbikes. the OZ wheels are only 2.5 lbs heavier for the set than BST's.

The CZ wheels finish is not as nice as the Marchesini or OZ.
BTW: OZ's motorbike division currently is run by a group of longtime ex-marchesini engineers and production team with many years of design, race and build experience. My guess is: had they stayed with Marchesini, that would have been the new Marchesini wheel.

OZ asked us to remove the sale price...but they did agree to lower the MSRP on the wheels. The single sided wheels are less expensive because they do not require cush drives, sprocket carriers or bearings.
Contact nick@motowheels.com. If we have any of the OZ wheels left from the last batch, he can give you the old sale price.
I thought they had picked up the forms from another company.
you originally had the image with the other name on it for awhile until they sent new images.
so, the OZ's come with a new cush drive and sprocket carrier? is it AL as well?
Does the 696 and 750 have the same exact rims?

Yep, the OZ dss wheel cush drive/sprocket carrier are pure billet aluminum goodness and use captive spacers. Very light compared to the OE piece. Sprocket hole pattern is different, so the Ducati sprocket won't transfer over.
The former wheel name was ITX.

oh see now you go and make it sound like such a great deal. time to start saving... although if I can convince Carrozeria to make a 4.5" rear, I'll go that direction

Not talking about the 796, I was talking about older M750s like the bike I own in my avatar. The 696 looks like it has the same rim. Anyone know if 5 spoke 696 rims will fit my M750?

What year is your 750?
Monsters with double sided swingarms prior to 2002 used a 17mm rear axle. From 2002 on (with a couple exceptions) used 25 rear axles.
We should have both applications in stock.

Ok the site was working for me and I took at look at your prices, I think I will go a different route. Not willing to spend over a grand on a set of rims. I saw a set on ebay for 800.
there's a set of 5 spoke marchesini on ebay. those are stock wheels off 1000ds monster, SS, and ST's. need to swap bearing or convert axles.

It is not too bad converting the front from 25 to 19mm- but it is a lot of work to convert the rear from 25mm to 17mm and make it line up correctly. The sprocket carrier has to be changed plus the spacing and chain offset. Our local machinist declined to convert a set over for us.
