I grabbed a genuine set from ebay Germany a few months ago.

There is a company called WSP Italy that do a similar style but I don't know what the quality or finish is like.

A number of wheel stockists would probably be able to get them in for you.

I had to have one of mine replaced recently and it was just over £500.

I have never tried picking them up, they also do interest free loans on anything over £200 for 6 months

:smiley: you are so right, they are a breeze, there so much access to the rear and the calliper.
