Tailor made 16" 5-spoke alloy rims (Campagnolo style)
Posted: Wed Dec 21, 2016 2:56 pm
Hi guys,
I've also got a 1984 Bimota SB4 S.
it had 16" magnesium Campagnolo wheels which are not safe to use anymore due to advanced corrosion (never magnesium again).
Now I'm looking for similar styled aluminium replacements wheels (16” x 3,25” front and 16” x 4,25” rear).
See pic.
I’ve tried almost everything to find me these wheels but unfortunately: with little success.
PVM in Germany where willing to make me a set of 16” wheels but asked – sit down first – : € 10.000 (excl. 20% VAT).
Well, I assume it will cost me but not € 12.000 !!!
Does someone has an idea how to get a set of 16” aluminium 5-spoke Campagnolo style wheels?
Is there not a company able to make them from billet (aircraft quality)?
I’ve even made drawings of the hubs (al dimensions) assuming they will need them in order to be able to produce me a pair.
Hope someone can help me out with this problem.
Frank
