Wanted: 10" Campagnola wheel

Hi Simon,

There's a guy a couple of miles from me that has lots of parts.  His local Craigslist add runs weekly and the listing seems to imply he has new and used Campys.  Fair warning he seems to be high on the prices last time I was there.

I looked thru his parts in the early stages of my Pantera journey.

I don't mind going to inspect parts for you if you can make contact with him.

Hopefully you can see the link here for his add.

Hi John,

thanks but for me it's not needed , maybe CAL-DMN can use your help.

I checked the craigslist link.  He wants 10k for a NOS set of 2 wheels.

no affiliation - just doing google search:

Ouch.  Guess they will be in a museum for eternity at that price.

Quite a while back, one of the saddest jpegs I've ever seen was posted on the web. It showed a pair of 10" Campys stored for a long time in a backyard shed with a leaky roof. Both wheels were solid blocks of white magnesium powder. I told the owner they were beyond safe restoration.  Sorry I didn't keep the photo. This was back when a pair was selling for $500-$600 each.

I called wheelcollision.com, , they don’t have any although the add shows they have them for sale, cheap.  They offered to restore mine, but they are in Pa.  We decided to have our originals restored by a shop in Goleta, not far from where we live.  So, thank you to all those who replied and tried to help!  

CAL-DMN…

What is your shop doing?  Media blast, anneal, chromate coat and repaint?

Mount tires and balance?

Just curious…

Rocky, they will hand sand them, take out defects in old finish and sand out curb rash, no blasting or annealing.  Owner doesn’t believe in annealing magnesium.  They will then apply adhesion promoter, paint to match, clear coat, and bake the paint.  They spun them to make sure they were true, first.  They will then mount and balance the new tires.  Alloy Wheel Repair of Santa Barbara, in Goleta.  Small shop.

Very cool.  Thanks for the reply!
