[DeTomaso] Powder coating Campy Clones - Re: Weld Wheels

[Mad Dog Antenucci]

Agree on wheel comments about  safety....I am currently using Wilkinson's forged 17/18 Campy clones and have also owned  Marino's billet 16/17 wheels and never had a problem with either wheel.  I wouldn't  hesitate recommending them. They have survived the span of time and hard open road and open track events with no damage.

Anyone powder coated any of the vendor Campy clones?

Weld makes several diiferent kinds of wheels. I use one Weld drag-race 
wheel, made with spun aluminum rims and a cast-mag center, rivited together. It 
mounts my collapsible spare- about the only place on a Pantera I'd recommend 
such wheels. They also make cast-aluminium wheels which are safe to use on 
street cars; look for the SEMA seal on such wheels. That means they were 
load-tested; drag race wheels aren't tested the same. Three-piece wheels 
whether bolted or rivited  often cannot go around corners safely without cracking 
at the bolt-circle, and the lightweight spun rims tend to crack with time. 
Good luck- J DeRyke
