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?  |

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.  |

And those aluminum replicas weigh 16.5 lbs. Lemmerz 356 steel wheels cant weigh much more than that.

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..... |
