Borrani wire wheel help - trying to figure out fitment and value

Borrani's website has a full list of all the possible fitments to download (bottom right) http://www.borrani.eu/classic_wheels_uk.aspx

 

Tom S. would know the right $$$

 

Borrani actually stopped manufacturing wire wheels for a short period of time and in the process sold all their equipment (1980s I am guessing). They eventually retooled but there is in my opion tremendous value in having wheels that were built before all this. I would check with some wire wheel restorers, they know the Market. Manny Dragone was the US importer last I knew, he is in Bridgeport, CT>

 

Offered as an option on 308's at one stage but not many taken up. Value depends on condition and demand and I think demand will be low.

That's interesting, IIRC we have ONE member here with a 308GTB with wires as OEM fitment.

 

Hi everyone,

I wanted to help clarify a few things in this thread and help provide some information on Borrani. First I wanted to introduce myself. I'm Beth Nelson with Borrani Americas. We are the only authorized importer and restorer of Borrani rims in North and South America and work directly with Ruote Borrani Milano in Italy.

The Borrani factory has never actually closed since they were established in 1922. The organization as a whole has gone through some restructuring over the years but has never stopped producing rims and knock offs. Here is a fun fact...Borrani still uses the original ledger to record their information.

The machinery they use is still from the 1960 and has never been sold. Although they have purchased and updated some of their equipment over the years.

If there is any additional questions I or Jim Wallner would be happy to answer them just send us an email. [email protected] or [email protected]

Have a great day.

 

Thanks for the update Beth, I met you at CI this year and I was delighted to hear that your company also restores Magnesium rims too, not an east task, can you elaborate a bit more on this for others.
