[DeTomaso] Dead rim

[Charles McCall]

I've written them for info. Wasn't really in the plans for this year, but
the car won't go very far on 3 wheels either..

Charlie,

 

I haven't seen a "reasonably priced" GT5 Campi for some time, in fact used
they seem to be fetching as much as a new reproduction from Marvic. Given
that in finding a used 40 year old wheel you might easily be throwing hard
earned $$ at a similar condition wheel (under the paint) to what you already
have and the amount of long distance/spirited driving you do, I would steer
towards the Marvic option.

Hi all

Looking for either a competent shop in Europe that can repair a magnesium
rim, or a used, GT5-style 13" rim reasonably priced. 

 

I have a pore in one of mine, and two shops specializing in rims have said
that they can't repair it. It has several cracks under the paint, and they
say they can't repair it. 

 

Any suggestions?
