Yeah. First place I saw was asking $1,335.usd.

But they're new, tubeless, and magnesium. :smt045
Meets most of the requirements! :P They do look nice!
I was on there site and I didn't see a way to buy the wheels in the U.S. I'd actually consider them at that price

Got it thanks guys! I wonder how much it's going to cost to dress the wheels with all the required do dads.

It will be some work and research. Need to ensure your discs end up in the correct place which may mean finding replacements with the correct diameter and bolt location as well as offset for the new wheels compared to the old. Alternatively you could make a spacer to move the brake caliper. Bearings that match up to the old axles and finally not sure if there is a provision for speedo on those. In the rear have to work out the spacing of the sprocket carrier and rear disc. If you can find someone out there that has done it before or possible ask the seller/ manufacturer if they've got any relevant info for your application it may make things easier as they may know someone that's gone through it before. It may help to read through some of the posts on here with suspension or wheel swaps to see the work involved. Not trying to discourage just be aware it can be some messing around to get them to work.

And theres' Nothing inexpensive in Maserarris.

I contacted a dealer that was very good about keeping in touch with me and helping though the process of buying wheels. Unfortunately it got to the point where they didn't have specs for an RZ 350 so they wanted me to ship my wheels set to Italy so they could measure the wheels etc. I called it quits, the cost just doesn't make sense.

Sounds like you're willing to pay the regular price for the custom wheels, and you just need the fitment specs.

There are some knowledgeable and generous folks around here, who can help with the specs. Also, the search button is your best friend.
