Reply to "The Cost of wheels?"

I find this an interesting subject and seem to recall it being discussed here before.
Hall no longer lists the 10"x 15" Campi that I see.
As I recall, they were being sold at $1,250 each, if memory serves?

There are two kinds. I would think most don't care about the type 1, or what I would call the original has the ALL the fins, gussets or rim reinforcements (whatever you choose to call them) extending to the edge of the inner rim. Those are the Campagnolo "Detomaso Pantera" versions.

There is another version where every other fin goes to the edge of the rim. Those are a type II or a reproduction or a continuation, depending on the term you choose to use.

Now when I first got my car in 1986, I wanted a pair of the 10's in the worst way. Hall was the only one at the time who had them.

Hall wanted $2,500 for the pair. In discussing this with Gary Hall, I said I won't be able to buy a set at that rate for a while. Can you sell me a set of used ones.

He said "sure, those are $3,500 for a pair".

I was shocked and sickened at the same time. I asked him why, and he said, "that's because there is only one type of original 10" and they are very rare. The $2,500 set are reproductions".

So I would say considering the price you are now discussing and this dicussion with Hall, the prices are consistant.

Now really there are a couple of factors that would tend to keep the price of any used set of 10's down now.

One is that you can get a set of four billet 17" wheels for $2500 and run z or w tires on the car and two, there are very few high speed rated 15" tires available now.

All of these details are factors in the price but personally if you can get a pair of any of the 10 x 15's for under $2500 and they aren't bent, pitted or otherwise damaged, GRAB THEM AND COVET THEM FOREVER! There will never be any more of them made.

There is no argument that the new billet wheels are absolutely gorgeous but there is one mitigating fact THEY ARE AFTERMARKET WHEELS.

The Mickey Thompson 26 x 12.00-15LT (light truck) tire fits the 10 inch Campi well and fills the rear fender nicely. It is only S rated though.

Really aggressive looking tire.
