Can some one tell me the Borrani Rim identification numbers for sf2 rims,eg wm3 2.15?18  36  record  RM -01-4613 is this an original front rim and wm3  2.15 x 18  40  record  RM -01-4745 and is this an original rear thanks for any replies Chris  Has anyone bought some new borrani rims lately,they are available from a guy in Newcastle aust. :-[
 
You mean the "made in China" new Borrani rims. I've bought a pair and laced them up for my bevel. The quality was crap and we had a lot of problems getting the bead line plumb but we got it right in the end. Who knows how they'll cope on the road. In defence of the supplier, Motocicli Veloci, they sent me a new set for the postage costs after I complained. So I now have 2 spare WM3 40 hole rims gathering dust.

I'd check what Phil (Road and Race) wants and compare the prices. From memory mine cost about $300 AUS drilled and delivered for the pair. You can also buy exactly the same rim off a bloke in Victoria, Fastline Spokes. He gets them made on the back of Motocicli Veloci's order and they're exactly the same. He's also owns and rides Italian bikes so he's savvy to your needs.

Chasing spokes is your next problem. I bought some original spokes off Ian Gowie for a fraction of the price being asked by Titmans and all the other rip off wheel builders. They all get them out of China and for 5 or 10 cents each, but will sell them to you for $150 a set. Fastline is cheaper but not by much. I'd even consider buying them from Buchanans in the States who are cheaper still. 

Shop around it's worth it. The sooner the arse falls out of the Italian classic parts racket the better.

Thanks for the replies,Ive been quoted at  $330.00 each plus postage,as usual I've got it ass around 4613 the rear,  4745 front twin disc is that right Ernesto, not the same as the 3c
 
No,
Tom is right, same as on 3C.
So front is 4761.
I mailed at Motocicli Veloci once to
enquire if the old numbers work for them.
They never replied.

$330ea is lining someone's pockets with your money. I paid $150 each delivered to rural Queensland.

Motocicli Veloci told me that they'd stamp what ever number I wanted. Ducati use 4777 and real ones were selling for thousands of dollars a few years ago. I didn't bother getting mine stamped...... it's ridiculous.
 
There is a guy on US ebay (a ducati supplier mostly) who is supposedly selling Taiwanese rims from the same factory that Borrani sources theirs.

The rims seem good, although the mudcatcher valances are not as deep.

The pre-drilled ones seem to line up OK with the SF2/3C front hub even though they are claimed to be suitable for 6 to 8 inch full width hubs. Was worth the US$100 I think.

I have not found any pre-drilled rim for the rear with enough of a deep dimple and severe offset drilled holes to cope with the large diameter flanged rear drum hubs.
