But not the bargain you'd hope for as Gerrys aluminium wheels cost less than that for a set of 4 in either Group 4 or Stradale....

Can't be many unused magnesium coffin spokes in existence though, hence the price.

It's funny that these wheels don't appear to have had the post casting machining that I've seen on other Technomagnesio wheels? (like Ken Tomblin's)

'Notice the flat (machined) edge on the thin part of the spokes. 'Doesn't look the same on the ones on ebay?

Picture from ebay advert.

If concerned, a potential buyer could always ask the seller via ebay.

Not convinced there's a difference!

I think I can see a couple of differences.

Firstly, the wheels in the top photo, don't look as clean and secondly, they seem to have a black ring of something around the outer edge :D

Seriously though. Both look very much alike to my untrained eye.

Surprised they didn't go - was the price really out of order? Tryphon, what do you reckon they're worth?
