Reply to "The Cost of wheels?"

Two more thoughts: first, Campagnolo (the automotive part) went out of business twice, and was bought once by Cromadora(?)-their main competition in Italy who kept the Campy name. Campagnolo bicycle parts was then a separate (and successful) stand-alone business.
Next, Campys were made old-school: the 'molds' were of mahogany wood so each mold only yielded a limited number of castings- all progressively rougher and with more rounded edges on the details. Until finally, they had to use new molds- which were all hand made. So its not too surprising to find minor detail differences in the cast wheels. Given the very limited number of 10" wheels made relative to the 7" & 8" variety and the wheel-business upsets, I'd guess there's maybe five different 10" variants. Maybe more but no one really knows.

Finally, I just got a for-sale ad for TWO pairs of the rare 10" x 15" Campys from Larry Stock at Pantera Parts Connection in Carson City NV www.panteraparts.com. This ad is going into the Jan POCA Newsletter.... NOT cheap! Haven't seen the condition but I'll take a look at them Monday. They do not come up for sale very often, at any price. I waited for mine for 20 years!
