Simon,

Not sure if this is helpful but sometimes any little trace can be that one you need to move forward.

I stumbled across a gentleman on Facebook. He was located in the states and had an impressive inventory of Campy's in various conditions from original to restored. Some in need of restoration. I remember spending a lot of time looking at his inventory and thinking about how he had carved out a nice little niche market. I could see from the 'sold' listings that he had moved an impressive number of wheels. Sadly, I can't seem to find him today.  I strongly encourage you to post in the DeTomaso groups on Facebook. I know some don't prefer that platform (and I concur with those feelings) but when you want to take a drink you must go where the water is. If you like, I can make the posting on your behalf and then relay the responses to you via email.

Good luck

-Ryan

I have a set of 10" and 8" that are powder coated and ready to go. But, to be honest I have too much tied up in them. I would only be interested in selling the set. Sitting in shipping boxes since powder coat. 

The rims are in Louisiana and I'm working in Morocco. FYI

I have plenty of photo's. 

Hello Riverrat,

I already send a PM.

Did you ever find your 10” wheel? I am interested in finding a set, also.

I sold my single 10"Campy to Danmark and bought a set of 10"back .

think they are still to find, a good option is Rion wheels from Italy.

Simon

For any old magnesium wheel, don't neglect to bake them every 10 years or so to re-anneal the stress build-up out of them. This is a technique I found working in aerospace and in the military that can be done at home in Mom's oven, as its done at low temp (275-300 F). Also works on Halibrands and other racing wheels. Not necessary on aluminum wheels.

Thank you, I have heard that before.  Not sure if I will be able to get it done.

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.

Thank you for the Craigslist ad and your friendly offer to go look at parts.  Really nice!  I texted Jerry to see how much he would want for them.  But honestly, as I hear what the prices might be, I am not so sure I need them.

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

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!
