Loving those Campags
Are they remade using the same materials or more modern alloys ?
How about weight and balance - is it as original ??
"A woman without curves is like a road without bends, you might get to your destination quicker but the ride is boring as hell'
The originals where magnesium.
These alloy wheels are actually made by Compomotive in the UK.
A German company called Furani make magnesium ones for 5 times the price and the difference in weight is not to big, alloys: 6,1, magnesium: 5,8kg per rim. Furani has replicated or is in fact using the same molds as the originals.
As i have heard they where lucky enough to buy a lot of casting molds when Autodelta closed down. They sell new GTam heads as well, and you probably know how rare those are. Costs the buck to.
The fabrication and balance of these replicas are not the best, but fairly good. 3 out of the 4 I bought was good, though one need some more led on the inside.
W0W..Im glad I started this thread...I really like seeing what all you guys like and there have been some awesome wheels posted...I never thought I would get very many post to tell you the truth...thanks guys...
now on a disapointing note, look at these new Wheels from Nismo for the R35...Im not for sure if they will be for the Nismo edition or maybe the will go to the aftermarket, but Im really not liking them...maybe they'll grow on me, but I seiously doubt it.

I have always liked these wheels. OF a VY Senator option rims..
Would like to see these on my car.
But might like these better now. Also off a Senator VZ.
Outside the factory rims, I like these.

Patrick says:
dads is too long so it wont fit

Btw one of my favourite wheels:
Please take a look at this if you dont believe me...The model code is CBA-R35...but most shorten it to R35, kinda like when ppl say R32, when really its BNR32...so Im pretty sure the new GT-R is an R35...check out the link if you still dont think so.
