Wilkinson and Pantera East both sell GT5-style Campy clones in 17 and 18 
inch, with a variety of different options available with respect to the wheel 
center.   A 'proper' GT5 wheel requires a very thick, very expensive blank to make 
the center, and that makes them VERY expensive.   Many people opt for a 
thinner, cheaper center.   They'll make them the way you (and your budget) can 
stand them.

I'll send you a photo of a Gr4 clone with Wilkinson's top-of-the-line 17-inch 
wheels front and rear.

Mike
