Magnesium Wheels - any idea what these could fetch?


Recommended Posts

Hi there,

 

Got a set (4) of these wheels. 14" Campagnolo (1973-ish)

 

One of them says 'made for Datsun/Toyota' but my cousin says they were replicas of Pantera wheels...

 

They are apparently made of magnesium, which are no longer legal to make?

 

Thinking of putting them on ebay but have no clue if/what a reserve should be.

 

anyone got a clue?

 

thanks for the help

Mark

Brand new Watanabe magnesium wheels14" are $500 each. New American Racing wheel are $200 each at Summit. Vintage Engineering also sells a variety of new magnesium wheels.

 

If you get those inspected and crack checked and the come out OK maybe worth $250 each. Without testing $25 each.

Campagnolo actually made the Detomaso Pantera wheels, both generations.

You can make about a thousand to the right buyer.

Magnesium isn't Illegal to make a couple of wheels are still made with magnesium.
