I know this comes up every so often and there is sometimes a prob with the front 25mm axle, you have to machine the hub to suit bearings.But
Ducati Sports 1000 (or whatever they call it)
Front hub has bearings for a 25mm axle....not too sure about rear but I'm guessing std Ducati.They sell on eBay for about $1000 ish US for front & rear. 3.5x17 & 5.5x17 only prob is you'll wanna use the Brembo calipers from the same bike due to clearance issues, unless you can get a wider spread on the fork legs or (prolly not a good idea) shave the back of the caliper.A ebay bare front hub should set you back about $100 US delivered to your door.
Second option a few more $$$$$
Alpina due tubeless wire wheels for the Ducati (apparently will work with brembo 4 pot calipers), some honda and interstingly Buels as well with the rim mounted disc.
Prices start about $2500 US or so a pair (colour options available)...alot of $$$$ but pretty ball park for aftermarket wheels I guess.

Either hub will take dual discs and I believe not so recent Yamaha discs share the same mounting as the brembos.
