Default What ever happened to Fitipaldi?

Anyone remember the rim company Fitipaldi?

I've got a set of 16" fitipaldi 5 spokes sitting in my garage, I did a google search, but it didn't turn up much. Anyone know anything about Fitipaldi?

I'm thinking about getting them reconditioned just because they're no longer in existance... The rims say "made in italy" also kinda cool

Yeah, I used to really like Fittipaldi Laguna 6 wheels. The ones you have may be the Interlagos or something like that.

for some reason when i think Fittipaldi I also think OZ, maybe they manufactured the wheels for Fitti?

ok, well here's a few pictures of the rims...


and before you look, let me just say, yes they are ugly, and in dire need of some TLC anyhow, here's the pics.



here's a large picture of the backside of the rim http://jtj.tocci.com/photos/albums/u...1/P7080003.JPG

here's my photo album for the pictures

So I guess there were made by OZ...

For some reason I think that model was called the 5000 or 4000 or something like that, dont hold me to it though, I havent seen a Fittipaldi ad in about 10 yrs LOL

If thats the wheel shop in Billrica, I think they are pretty good PM a member named Lexis11, he had some work done by them.
