I'm creating this topic to make this information easy for members to find in the future.
An Italian company named Marvic Wheels srl reproduces the 10x15 Campy wheels in cast magnesium.
Link: Marvic Wheels
I communicated via email with Silvia Framba. Their price for the 10x15 Campy wheels is currently €1,550.00 each (both short rib & long rib wheels can be reproduced, they are priced the same). Silvia estimated €200.00 shipping for a pair of wheels to Ventura. Total cost would be €3,300.00 for a pair of 10x15 wheels, currently equivalent to $3,839.00 US dollars, shipped to a US address.
Their terms are 40% at the time of order, the balance before shipping. Delivery takes 8 to 10 weeks.
FYI their price for the 8x15 Campy is €1,350.00 each.
Here's the wheel dimensions

Just for info, the same wheels in shape are also made by Roin industries in Italy, they are not Magnesium but aluminium. I bought a pair and am very pleased with them.
The casting like the Marvic rim is very sharp and not rounded like the OEM Campagnolos. On close inspection they do appear different to the wheels on the car, until it moves of course.
Roin were also MUCH cheaper too.
What is the contact information for Roin and what was your cost for a set of their wheels?

Chuck I bought a pair of rear 10" wheels and used the old 8" campagnolo's on the front wheels.
The rears were 800 Euro each, size 10X15.
I ordered the wheels through.

They did not ask for a deposit, and I paid when I received their invoice. also paying 50 euros for shipping the 2 wheels to England.
the only question they asked was, did I want them painted or unpainted.
Georges comment is a sad testament to some customers we deal with. I can only report that my dealings with Andreas were concise with good comms and a product I was so pleased with.
But I have also been given the very cold shoulder and understand that its more than disappointing, I asked a certain American Vendor by email if he would supply me 2 sets of diff bolts that could be wired up, yes was the reply, I called him on the phone with payment details and have heard nothing more despite more emails again with no reply.
I really dislike being negative. I asked myself do I keep quiet, or allow the members to be informed and cautious? I would hope everyone doing business with Roin has the same experience as Peter, and that my experience was due to the alternate wheel size I was inquiring about.
€800.00 per wheel, plus the same €200.00 shipping, places the total price for a pair of Roin 10x15 wheels at $2,080 for a pair of wheels shipped to a US address. Compared to $3839 for the Marvic wheels. I would personally prefer an aluminum alloy wheel over a magnesium wheel. The trade-off is a bit more weight for a more durable and less fussy wheel.
Mr Fiat's p.n. RS-PANTER-001 wheels are supposedly manufactured by Roin. A pair of them shipped to a US address is currently $2,890. $800 more than dealing direct with Roin. Still $1000 less than the Marvic wheels.
Judging from the picture below which I ripped from the Mr. Fiat web site I'd say the Marvic wheel and the Roin wheel are very close in appearance (they appear identical).

Quotes exclude sales tax when goods are shipped to the U.S. The recipient will have to pay customs and probably local sales tax.
Be aware that Mr.Fiat´s advertised prices include customs charges. Check total price before ordering goods directly in Europe. You may be better off buying from the authorized distributor, especially if you have a warranty claim. It is common practice that the manufacturer will not sell goods retail if he has made a deal with a distributor in the area. Maybe no response from Roin directly as Mr. Fiat is the sole distributor for Roin in the U.S.?

You guys who have purchased these 10x15 reproduction wheels, how about posting some pictures of your cars with the wheels mounted?
George I was elated when I last read through the thread of how to post a pic.
I did it and was now in the 21st century, until it said "your picture is too large to post"
that was me done for, I will try and post a pic to chuck he has put pics up for me before, fingers crossed

Peter: I've made this offer many times, you and everyone else are welcome to send your pictures to me ( info@panterainternational.com ) if you're finding it a challenge to post them.
This will no longer be an issue when we transition to the new HOOP.LA forum platform.
I've also been present when riveted-together three-piece Centerline drag race wheels have broken catastrophically at tracks. With those wheels, the lightweight centers, never designed for cornering loads, broke the lugnut center free of the rest of the wheel at speed. The rim, half the center and the tire passed one car on the track while the driver became very, very busy. Use ANY 3 piece wheel on the street at your own risk!

The edges of the wings/fenders have been folded upwards so the wheels/tyres clear, on both front and back wings so I think the answer to your question is Yes they will.
Hi Peter, your car looks great. I like the gold color. Were the wheels originally gold from the factory?
René ... yes tires "fit" within the wheel houses and fender arches of a narrow body without rubbing; even without the riveted flares.
Those wheels were originally designed for 255mm tires (H60 Arrivas), but were also used for the 285mm P7s. Guys use 295mm tires today, and some use 305mm. The wheel's offset was good for the 255mm tire, and is progressively less and less ideal as the tires get wider.
Here's an example below.

Not "as original" but I like them, and they sort of go with the lettering somehow.
