Buying Campagnolo Rims On Ebay: It Pays To Ask

Steve, thank you for writing the playbook on how to score a set of Campys.  I have been lurking on various Italian's sites and just scored a set of very good condition 5.5x13 off an older restoration shop.  Let's see how much it is going to cost to ship them to me.

 

Thanks.

 

Bingo: great find!  Italian shipping is expensive.  I'd estimate shipping for four rims to be $200 to $250, maybe less now that the Euro has devalued.

 

Get them babies home!

 

Regards,

 

Steve

I paid $200 for shipping from Portugal for my wheels. (not campy's, but Ruspa)

I recently bought ATS classics from a friend and he has a set of campys in 6x14 which he is deciding to sell. Just curious how much do they sell these days so I have to bench mark in case he sells it. Deal breaker would be shipping from Asia unless I bring it back once I visit him. Here is a sample photo I got online of type of wheel he has.

A restorable -- that implies true and un-bent -- set of four 13" Campys -- 5.5" or 6" -- would probably range from $600 to $1,200 in Europe.  I don't know if 6 x 14 rims would be different in value.  Demand for magnesium alloy rims is somewhat tempered by various facts, and non-facts.  You really shouldn't heat them in order to repair dents or bends, meaning that a dented or bent Campy is generally worthless.  And some people, largely confusing the magnesium alloys of the '60's and '70's, with the almost pure-magnesium rims of the '50's and '60's, fear they are brittle and unsafe at any speed.

 

Regards,

Wow - you are killing me.

 

Several years ago, when I got my NOS Campy 5-1/2" x 13 (19 mm offset) wheels for about 1200 (yeah, full set - never mounted on a car), I felt lucky.  Now, as I look for a 5th (so the spare will match), I know I was super super lucky.

Mannnnn... Those are some kinda sexy. 14" would be perfect on the CS ?

Here is a Campagnolo four spoke with the original center cap. The infill paint is a medium blue.

Model 40765/C per chance?  Available in 8 x 13, 9 x 13, and -- wait for it -- 10 x 13!  Is this set, perhaps, 8 x 13?

Sizes beyond those listed in the History of Wheels were sometimes offered...

That four spoke measures 9x13. 

 

These were purchased new many years ago. The gold paint is the original finish from Campagnolo.

 

The infill paint on the center cap is the same Campy corporate blue as the color of the company's stylized name in cursive as depicted on your illustrated  product list shown earlier in the thread.

It definitely pays to double check! 

 

I also snagged these locally for $1200ish. I sold my borranis for the same price so it was a wash - I'd take the campys over the borranis any day that ends in Y. 

 

These are in incredible, original condition. The original owner had these on his 1600 cabriolet for a brief time in the 80s, then removed them when he sold the car. They were boxed up and stored in a warehouse for the next 30 some odd years, until they were locally listed for sale and I snagged them. Very glad I did. They are going to be so slick on my tii.

 

13x6 with original caps and original wheel weights. 

 

Photos for reference. 1st: How I found them:

 

 

 

 

After a quick clean up and new chrome valve stems.

 

 

Still need to buy tires. Debating on 205/60s or 185/70s

Very cool!

I could very well be interested in a set?
1) How much for a set?
2) Are you willing to send to the UK?
