No Borranis, but I have two different sets of Campy's. The 13x7's (left) are the identical to vintage Conrero rims. (Two of these 13x7's will require specialized wheel restoration, btw.) The 13x5.5's are pictured on right. Campagnolo wheels are virtually impossible to find for Opels. I have been collecting these over time from different sellers, sometimes one wheel at a time in order to make a whole set!
My Spyder is going in a different direction than Keith/Dallas' more modern interpretation. I'm trying for a period one-off look... along the lines of the factory Aero GTs in styling/execution. Vintage small diameter rims, Moto-Lita wood steering wheel, red leather interior, smooth silver dash like a Porsche 550, vintage fender mirror, chrome accents, etc. Since I'm not going with bigger wheels, the car will be lowered 2" in order to reduce the large gap between the tires and fender arches.
Drivetrain will be a SSD 2.0L mated to a getrag 5-speed and 3.67 axle.
