james, i know massimo well, good guy
i've bought quite a bit from him over the years
troncconi and novelli have been around for years
massimo is a novelli...his grandfather started the business

unless someone swapped your hubs you want 36 spokes 

the replicas are dead ringers for borrani save the size stampings
the wheels are blank, no makers mark of any kind
dimples are drilled small so no problem enlarging them to your spoke nipple
just need to check angles
the 1.60 x 19's i bought for my 100 laced up perfect
but the WM4 and 5 i have don't line up to the 3C or SFC hubs
without redrilling at the proper angle
my guess is they are for ceriani or similar
but may well work with your grimecas, on the AE, as is

cheers,
scott

Motocicli Veloci are official sponsors of Laverda Corse! Think about it James, if you purchase stuff from them you will be indirectly funding my racing And if that doesn't make you want to buy from them, I don't know what will.....

Joking apart, they are nice people and when I had a problem with a Krober rev counter I bought from them[way before they agreed any type of deal with Piero] it was replaced without question.

Thank you very much for the assurances, I became a tad concerned when copying and pasting info from their website to their down-loadable form switched my keyboard into Russian Cyrillic!!

Scott: You are absolutely right I do need 36 hole rims, I know not how I first off counted 40! However, very glad you prompted me to do a re-count.

I shall now place my order with confidence. I will be entrusting the wheel rebuilding to Mr R A Waldren, Milton Keynes, who is nearby and has been highly recommended to me.

Cheers,
James
