Wheels are now going for heat treatment then will be back for machining and powder coating to customers requirements (all of which I'll post up).

7's and 9's will follow in the next couple of weeks.

There will be an initial run of just 60 units of each width, 7, 8 & 9 x 15, so if anyone is interested go to www.group4wheels.com , have a look around and go to ordering. This way I can get back to you with an all inclusive price including shipping.

Any other queries: info@group4wheels.com

Just FWIW, I pulled up detail photos of the wheels on the Ghia Sport 5000 (which was built from the original Shelby/De Tomaso 70P, and whose chassis and suspension were used for the Mangusta). The wheels it wears measure 8 1/2 x 15 front and 11 x 15 rear...I was surprised as I always thought they were 8 x 15 and 10 x 15, but the markings are quite clearly stamped. I never realized that any Campagnolo wheels were cast in half-inch increments either.
Fantastic work!!!

I just wanted to note, that on my car, I have one later rim, replaced due to an accident, that appears to have been cast in a metal mold vs a wooden version. It still had the DeT part number on it in grease pencil when we took the tire off! Production rims did not...

The corners are very crisp on the spokes where the production rims are very much rounded off! There is also a CAMPAGNOLO logo in positive relief on one spoke as well as a part number I believe.

Some of you guys with later cars may want to check this out more closely!

I'll try and remember to get a picture of this later. Am doing the engine-dectomy thing again....ugh!

Years ago, Gary Hall told me that Campagnolo's tooling would wear out over the course of a production run. When they went to do another run, they would first re-finish the tooling. According to Gary, sometimes they would get carried away and make the tooling too "sharp"; the result being, two wheels made by the same tooling could look significantly different, depending upon when they were cast. We were discussing Pantera wheels but I'm sure the same holds true for Mangusta wheels.

Hi Italian STALLION,

The above picture is how all wheels are "finished" prior to orders being taken. We then drill the PCD, machine the ET and paint the wheels to the customers requirements.

FIRST MANGUSTA CUSTOMER TO ORDER A SET GETS FREE DELIVERY!

Hi,
You have said in the past that the orginal center caps will fit, is that correct? The orginal center caps are held in with a thin wire retainer, will yours be the same? What size in widths are you going to offer? The final question, what will be the price for a set of 4 with your free freight offer?


Hi Italian STALLION,

Can you forward some pictures of the wheel with the badge out (close up) and one of the badge?

Sizes available are 7, 8 & 9" x 15.

2 x 8's & 2 x 9's in silver would be £1050.


Regards

Jonathan
