[DeTomaso] Wanted to Buy - 13" Campy for GT5-S

[jderyke at aol.com]

For the cost of a repro rim- OEMs are practically non-existent, I suggest finding a GOOD magnesium welder and have the broken rim welded and remachined. For a couple of hundred $$ invested, it may be repairable. With Campys, you never know until you strike an arc. On the other one, I would IMMEDIATELY anneal the thing before built-up stresses crack it too.

Looking at all my options... This is the rear rim from my GT5-S -
needless to say it doesn't hold air very well. Plan "B" will probably
be to buy a new set of rears from Marvic, but since theirs are 14", I'd
have to buy 2. Before taking the plunge, I'm looking for options.


If I buy two 14"s, I'd have a good 13" for sale. Any idea what market
value is for a 15x13" magnesium rim for the widebody cars?
