[DeTomaso] Reproduction Campy wheels

[Mad Dog Antenucci]

NEW Guy Tom,

Going 16/17" old school huh?! ;-]>
Knowing your racing background like I do here's the reasons you want to go 17/18". Within a couple years or less you will have increasing difficulty finding W, Y or Z rated tires in 16" followed by 17". So unless you are buying someone's existing 16/17" Campy wheels fogetboutit unless you plan to stick a few in plastic bags. ;-] 

Every slacker on this List is going to try and convince you 16/17 is the way to go simply because they have them on their Pantera!!! Or that they have the right "look"....... or that God wants you to have them for some biblical reason.... but the facts are if you ain't running 15" REAL Campy's go 17/18.....secondly there are several TALL 27" W, Y and Z rated tires available for 18" rims....Pantera East, Wilkinson and Precision Pro-Formance all sell great Campy clones.

I think I like the copies of the two slot originals and I believe I just want to go 16/17.  
I have NOT seen any of these in real life, so I'd like off-forum candid emails about first hand viewing/owning these wheels. (recommendations about brands/vendors)
Which look the best to you, etc...
Thanks,
Tom
