Title: Tecnomagnesio Rims Post by: Soddli on June 30, 2006, 13:02:47 pm Anybody know who sells the Tecnomagnesio Rim in Europe?
This is the replica of the tecnomagnesio Mag wheel, same weight as a real GB. I know NLA Limited in the US are selling theese rims, but i heard a rumor that the wheels actually are made in Poland??!!?? Anybody know more about this?

But this country still doesn't stop to surprise me :) Hope U'll Find what you're lookin' for... Title: Re: Tecnomagnesio Rims Post by: Fastbrit on March 17, 2009, 00:30:56 am As far as I am aware, these wheels have not been available for several years. A replica was available but that, too, is no longer available. I may be wrong, but that's what I have been told. They are (or were) amazing wheels and very well made. I remember seeing the first set in the UK back in about 1996 stunning but expensive. :(

I agree that the russian repros was way more expensive, but the wheel in the samba ad is not the same wheel. And itīs aluminium, the russian were magesium...

Has anyone found put if these Tecnomagnesio wheels are still available. I have some steel 356 but I think the alloys look great Thanks Dave Title: Re: Tecnomagnesio Rims Post by: WPS on August 12, 2013, 11:04:24 am Available here..... http://www.classicocorsa.it/ TUV approved now with a safety bead and some aluminium added to the mix so slightly heavier but no need for a tube in the tyre so the nett weight is the same...unless you run them tubeless of course ;) We've also run the aluminium rims from the states made by Chris Codington and they're great, definately much much lighter than than steels and can be custom made to any offset. approx.$3000 a set. The russian guy will only make in a massive production run and not cheap..... Title: Re: Tecnomagnesio Rims Post by: andy M. on August 12, 2013, 20:27:44 pm There's a set of coddington rims on the 356 register site for sale at the moment, $2000
