Anyone ever run Campagnolo wheels?

[Brandon Sinclair]

I came across a set like these.

Apparantly they were available for 914s in the 4 x 130mm bolt pattern. 

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.

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?

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

Here is an interesting site I came across with a history some of their superlight wheels:

As much as I hate gold wheels, those Stratos wheels would look killer on a completely dechromed cal-look car either with a black or India red paint job. The car would have to have nothing but body color on it though.

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 !

I ran a set of these in the late 90's, detailed black/polished. 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!

I'm sure we can find some 4x130 ones, Lancia Fulvia and some Italian cars of this era have a 4x130 bolt pattern.
