Coffin Spokes - Back In Production

[Guy Mayers]

After Compomotive went under a while back Gerry nearly lost the tooling to make these wheels. Fortunately we managed to recover them from the receiver and I've just heard from Gerry that the wheels are back in production right now. He's started with the rear wheels and the fronts are following shortly. Anyone in the market for a set can drop him a line to discuss prices/specifications again.

that's great news, i didn't realize the molds were tied up in proceedings like that. i have a set of these wheels - they look awesome on the car.

That's fab news ☺

Update from Gerry - after having to completely retool the front wheels they are back in production again. Gerry currently has a good stock of the rear (12*15) in either 98 or 108 pcd powdercoated gold and will have the fronts (8*15) in stock very soon - they have been cast and are being machined at the moment before powdercoating in gold. Again, 98 and 108 pcd will be available in a couple of weeks.
Prices are £2000 plus VAT/Carriage for a Stradale set and £2500 plus VAT/Carriage for a Group 4 set.
Contact Gerry if you need a set or spares.

The Pound being at a"new " level of change makes a groupe 4 set at 2500 + 500 = say more or less 3000 pounds so about 3580 euros

This increase just a little the difference With Magnesium Marvic wheels which are 4300 euros plus tax = 5160

But there is not such more difference with RoIN ones They where sometime ago at about 4400/4600 ( with tax)

The big diff is always into the carriage Hawk ones in UK and the 2 others brand in Italy !!!!!

Another important point not to forget ; due to variations of "inners dimensions" a Marvic wheels cannot be fit "directly" in place of an Hawk and vice et versa !!!!!

Possible with my uprights!

My choice is for Marvic rims but they'll have to wait till the bank balance looks a little/lot healthier!

??????
could be Marvic or Tecnomagnesio in Italy ?????

But could be also some UK foundry ???? Crosthwaite and gardiner ????http://www.crosthwaiteandgardiner.co...che-parts-list

They are black treated ...... from what I know Marvic deliver only in gold painting but I know the factory being equipped with this specific magnesium black treatment ( in french ; "Mordensage")

The Alfaholics wheels are made for them in the UK by Creasey castings www.creasey-castings.co.uk/ I have a pair of 8x15" - they are extremely well made and are based on the early first series Campy coffins (having a bead on the rim)

The black treatment is "chromate" which is the best way to protect the magnesium prior to powder coating.
