    I saw these on eBay Jon. They look very nice! Can you please post some pictures or share the date codes on the back of the rims? That information would be helpful for a potential buyer.
    I need 2 date correct rims for my 04788 that was made in October of 72. They are identical to yours on the front side.
    You don’t need a mint foot bar for a 206 by any chance do you?

    I'm sorry I didn't think I said they were for sale in my post. But I plan to put them on the classifieds.

    One thing that always puzzles me: given that these wheels - and many others, up to the present day - were made in Italy for an Italian car, why are the sizes marked in inches? Wheels sizes always seem to be quoted in inches, irrespective of where they are made.

    Hi Jon,
    Would you have a fairly decent set of black carpets by any chance?

    Inches were adopted worldwide as tire manufacturing standard +/-100 years ago.

    In your listing you state they're powder coated. I was under the impression the mag alloy wheels couldn't be powder coated.

    Cromodora aren't magnesium, Campagnolo are magnesium. You can powder coat magnesium just have to use the right technique.

    hmmm, I had a bent Cromodora and several shops passed on a repair saying they were a mag alloy. Most of the info I find about them confirms that.
    Not to say there's anything wrong about your wheels, just curious.

    I think they're both magnesium alloy. I'll do some more research, but my recollection is all were, and that's one reason you have to be so careful on inspection when you buy them.
