Alfa Daytona Style Wheels

[AlfaNeely@domain.elided]

	I recently removed the wheels from an 87 Spider Veloce.  I noticed 
that they did not have the usual corrosion inside the center hubs.  Now I 
notice that they have P.F.S. on the rim instead of Campagnolo.  All other 
markings are the same and the appearance is identical.
     Using bathroom scales, it appears the P.F.S. wheels weigh about 15 
pounds each.  A set of well corroded Campagnolo wheels appear to weigh 11 
pounds each.  The hubs are partly gone from corrosion, but not 4 pounds worth.
	I noticed the wheels on an 88 spider were also marked P.F.S.  Given 
the weight difference and the lack of corrosion, I assume the P.F.S. wheels 
are not real magnesium.  Did Alfa change wheel manufacturer about 1987?
	In cleaning up wheels in my glass bead cabinet, I discovered cracks 
in two Campy rims.  The cracks are from the wheel bead outward radially to 
the rim lip.  Both Campagnolo wheels cracked in the same place.  Cracked 
along the casting lines, maybe?  Anyone tried to weld these?
	Anyone have Campagnolo wheels for sale?  Cosmetic problems are not of 
much concern.  I am not overly concerned that corrosion in the hub center 
will impact wheel strength.

Trying to decide what wheels to run on my race car, which has to run 6 x 14 
rims.
