Hi Griff144,  he wants $2500.- but wath does he accept ?

I was thinking on the same price as the later dual slot rims , depends on condition, but not $2500.-

I also will be happy with one Single slot 8"rim.

regards

Simon

He is firm on his price as he is well aware of the fact that the one slot wheels are much, much rarer that the dual slot wheels. He claims they are in great condition. I have not seen these wheels. He has other parts that I have interest in. That is how I found out about the wheels.

OK, no problem , I will look further , anyway thanks for the help in this,

Best Regards

Simon

Simon, unless you have your heart set on real single-slots, know that several early cars are running around today with double-slot  wheels in which the lower slot was carefully filled up with J-B Weld to give the appearance of a single-slot. I know of one car with '10" single-slots' that were apparently never made by Campagnolo. One owner said he only expected a few months before the filler cracked & fell out, but his original work is now on its second decade without any sign of cracking. Obviously,  J-B is not a permanent change, either.

A real single slot cut-out is actually positioned in between the two cut-outs in a double-slot, but single slots are so scarce that almost no one will notice the slight misposition, especially if you then repaint the whole wheel with Argent Silver. And any spare wheel you might find needs baking-in-Mom's-home-oven at 275F for a few hours to stress- relieve it every 10 years or so. I'd do this before J-B-ing & painting as any filler will heat-shrink and the paint discolors.

Hello , Bosswrench ,

thanks for the warning , I will check this the next time.

I just found a good one into Europe , paid 550 shipped .

now still need to find another one.

I have a 15x8 single slot in Texas that I'm willing to sell. The paint isn't all that great, so I'd recommend refinishing it. I'm firm at $500 plus shipping. I'd prefer to ship within the u.s, but we may be able to make other arrangements if needed. Fell free to call or text me at 469-222-4405 if you're interested.

Thanks,

James Colvin

Hello James,

$500.- sounds fair for me , I have a shipping address into the USA.

send you a PM about the payment and shipping details.
