I would suggest the classifieds but I don't think I've ever seen them pop up. Not many people optioned these wheels it seems. You can check Sewell, I think they're a sponsored vendor here and see if they can cut you a deal, but at around $500/wheel, there's a long list of aftermarket wheels that looks nicer and weigh less.

The R109 wheel is one of the more expensive wheels but definately is great looking. It weights about 26lbs which is not bad but it's true there are lighter wheels out there. There are only two sets left in the US at this time so if you want to jump on them, I would suggest doing so soon. PM sent with details.

The R109 with Continental DWS 215-35-18 weighed 42 lbs. 1 pound heavier versus the stock 17's LA 6 twin spoke with Hankooks Ventus V12 205-40-17 which weighed 41 lbs. each.

Nice ride you got there minihune!
