Title: Anyone ever run Campagnolo wheels? Post by: Brandon Sinclair on June 16, 2010, 22:28:58 pm I came across a set like these.

I knew of the company as a bicycle products company, but I did a little research and they produced wheels in alum and magnesium for a lot of exotic cars and race cars before they went strictly into bicycle products. These wheels seem really light, but the downside is they are 14x6" and the upside is they weigh around 10 lbs. Title: Re: Anyone ever run Campagnolo wheels? Post by: Rennsurfer on June 16, 2010, 22:57:26 pm Personally, I think that would be cool to run those on a nice Cal Look VW... along with an Italian made steering wheel. That company has been producing quality car and bicycle wheels for many decades. I have a set on my Torelli road bike... black, of course and custom laced on vintage ('70s Campagnolo hubs).
Get 'em if they're not too expensive. What year is your car? Title: Re: Anyone ever run Campagnolo wheels? Post by: Nico86 on June 16, 2010, 23:11:31 pm I heard Campagolos are great wheels, but I never saw VW or Porsche patern ones, must be hard to find !
They used to make the wheels for the Lancia Stratos and the Lamborghini Miura 8) (http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3654/3392344833_f077f38f32.jpg) (http://farm1.static.flickr.com/105/293685773_94d8e5d05f.jpg) Title: Re: Anyone ever run Campagnolo wheels?

The car would have to have nothing but body color on it though. Title: Re: Anyone ever run Campagnolo wheels?

Post by: Rennsurfer on June 16, 2010, 23:21:22 pm As much as I can't stand gold wheels, I must say, Rick... you're right. That would look killer on an all black car with zero chrome. There, I met you halfway.
HAHA!! But I'd seriously consider running these, painted silver, on any Cal Looker.

There's a company making repros of it : http://www.hawkcars.co.uk/parts/stratoswheels/coffinspokes.html don't know if it's still available. But check out the sizes : 8x15" for the Stradale version, 8x15" front and 12x15" rear for the rally car version ! Title: Re: Anyone ever run Campagnolo wheels?

Mine were magnesium and incredibly light, but only 14" so to my eye they never quite looked right. No pictures I'm afraid. Slightly off topic, I also ran campagnolo components on my old road bike, all late 60's eqpt. on a handbuilt Clive Stuart Reynolds tubed frame (frame again was from the 60's)... beautiful stuff! Title: Re: Anyone ever run Campagnolo wheels? Post by: Nico86 on June 20, 2010, 18:50:11 pm I'm sure we can find some 4x130 ones, Lancia Fulvia and some Italian cars of this era have a 4x130 bolt pattern.
