eBay fever strikes again.

I have the same wheel, and its got little grade 8.8 hex head screws around the horn button - not Phillips head screws. Also, I paid a lot less - got mine from da boys @ Max.

BTW - this is the "not-safe-for-the-US-wheel" that Mike mentioned several million posts ago.

That was the first thing I questioned. For that much money, that one should be perfect in all respects - including the correct hex-headed mounting screws.

If I recall correctly, that is how the dreaded vintage, correct "csl" wheel came on the ultra rare 3.0csl.

My one for Stella has hex-head screws however.

I did some research on these wheels. Manufacturer is Petri AG. They are still in business, however they don't have any more horn buttons

My son's wheel has the screw heads however.

Here's a close up of how the screws look. By the way, that price for the wheel is not to far off. I sold one last year in the 380mm size I had that was near perfect (see pic) and a coupe guy bought it for $780 in July!!! In the old days before the Internet, I hear these things fetched $1,000 to the right collector, so don't get too bent about price.
