Coffin Spokes - Back In Production

[LM mic]

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.

Listerbell wheels are in 17´´ ( I have these on my Corse with cheap Falken tires) and Hawk in 15´´ that is more expensive for tires ( michelin TB 15 or Avon are more pricy!)
A good reason for choosing Image wheels provided by LTR!!

[AVFC80]

I figured that tire availability would be a big issue, do they look big in the wheel arch?

[Guy Mayers]

Don't think the Hawk wheels will fit the LB?

The Hawk ones are the right size at 15 inch but the tyres can be a tad expensive.

The LB ones are three piece I think, 16 and/or 17 inch so tyres are more available.

Why ever not?

Hawk wheels will fit the LB, there are two cars out there fitted with them, one in France & one in the US. You do need to go with the 5 x 108 Ferrari fitment nowadays though rather than the 5 x 98 Alfa fitment.

It appears that there are many options for coffin spoke wheels & all appear to be slightly different in construction.

Manufacturers are-
Hawk, 15" pressure cast aluminium
Roin, 15" CNC billet aluminium
TMB Racing, 15" Aluminium (unsure if sand cast or pressure cast)
Marvic, 15" sand cast Magnesium
Alfaholics, 15" Magnesium
Lister Bell, 16"F,16"R Stradale, 16"F 17"R Gp4, 2 piece, cast aluminium outer, spun aluminium inner.

All can be made to fit all variants & all have different foibles which would take too long to detail right now.
