Faba do their own hubs and the rims are DID I believe, Alpina spokes and nipples. I just emailed them and shipping is 42 euro.

That's going to be even more tricky not only different axle but different disk offsets so you'd probably need forks too, adding a mechanical speedo drive or convert to electronic dash, sounds expensive but I think someone on here has done it.

That's a full suspensions change, including custom yokes and Swingarm. Definitely not cheap. May be better off with some aftermarket wheels..
