I don't know much about how motorcycle wheels go on fitment and whatnot, besides the single-sided swing arm and double-sided swing arm wheels. So would most aftermarket wheels fit on the 696, or does Ducati use a special bolt pattern. I'm just trying to weigh my options at the moment. I do like the DP Marchesini wheels, but they're pretty pricey and don't offer much in weight savings.
Carrozzeria wheels are very light and finely engineered.

Id love a set of gold ones for my white 696.
$1790 for a set...
i'm not really feeling any of those. though the v-star is ok.
i just went with the ducati 5-spoke wheels for my 696 (with the white reflective wheel stripe!)...
