I don't claim to be an authority but I'm pretty sure the Brembo wheels are the same for early RSV, Tuono and Falcos. So if it fits 1998 - 2003 RSV and tuono it'l do nicely for a Falco.

The early RSVR Oz wheels swap so can't be a difference in offsets etc.

I think most do the difference may be on radial non radial brake types there may be a difference between the two get a quote for a new wheel and submit it to the council worth a punt
For the avoidance of doubt and for the benefit of my wife, not everything I may say here will be absolutely true I may on ocassion embellish a little for effect.
That said when it comes to motorbikes, I like to ride side saddle with a nice frock

Yes - correct on both counts

Photo's of the hole and damage to the wheel i think would be a start. I would at least try and put a claim in :smt002

Somewhere on the web there is or was a site for listing holes that have been reported. Worth a google in case somebody has flagged it up.
