I've always been a fan of the Mooneyes Speedmaster wheels. I never wanted to bight the bullet though.

I guess the copyrights are null and void when it comes to wheels these days because it seems more and more copies are coming out here lately.

Not complaining...just stating. Wink

CIP1 now offers an SS Super Speed wheel.. which is a dead ringer for the Speedmasters.

Id bet you're right.

I live about 40 miles from Cip1's office and I'm tempted to give them a call and ask if I can come by for a look (and maybe a weigh).
I've had my American Eagle repo Fuchs' on my Intermeccanica 356 for a number of years and wouldn't mind a change.

Damn, now they're on sale at Cip1.
Very tempting.

Edit: I just found out they weight 18lb each. Mad

I just saw them today and was thinking "DAMMIT". I've got a full set of chrome Speedmaster's sitting in my dining room waiting to go on. And now If I'd have waited till I actually needed them they'd be 1/2 the price.

The Chinese have cornered the wheel market, so even OEM wheels come from China now.
