I've got a rim here, looks like Campagnolo, feels like a Campagnolo but, as far as I can find it is a japanese copy.
It has just got a little stamp JW in it, which (i found out)means it is roadlegal in Japan (just check out your nipponwheels).
The Campagnolo sticker, anyone could've fitted that.
The rim is a 18" and has 75mm in between to fit the tire.
Since my 2.15 has 55 mm, and the 2.50 has 65 mm, I reckon this is a 3.00.
Weight about 3.2 kg (but that was on a kitchen scale 0-3 kg so it could be a little bit more).
One side is for fitting a disc, the other side is special so one has to make the transmission damper housing yourself to get the necessary offset.
I searched the www and located a japanes seller that was into 70's Superbike Replica's, style Wide-Eye-Cooley Suzuki, Eddy L Replica and Vetter Kwackers.
They had made a batch of Campagnolo replica wheels to get the authentic look with the italian hardware.
Price was in yen, just as the site, so I really couldn't make out any real info.
A year later, the site was gone, never found anything about it again.
I could bring it over next trip to Italy so You can measure it up ?

Hello, I think my simultaneous translator, will be fired INSTANTLY!
You must excuse me, I'm not referring to the production of the circle itself, your circle is WONDERFUL!
I meant the shape and the different height, which TAKES to each model of motorcycle.
example:
A rear rim, if it is done on purpose to be mounted on a pantah, it will be very difficult for the usual rim you can fit on a honda 750, or on a Kawasaki.
The alignments of frames and swing arms, require different sizes and shapes from model to model.
I hope to be able to make myself understood.
Sorry if I did not write well before.
CIAO DALL'ITALIA. Carlo!
