Identity of Campy hubs and rims?
Trying to identify the hubs and rims on these wheels. Any expertise would be greatly appreciated. The skewers have an open C end, but they don't look like Records...

Stratos hubs with old Nuovo Record skewers: VeloBase.com - Component: Campagnolo Stratos
Maybe Scirocco rims.
Maybe Scirocco rims.

Stratos hubs, pretty much confirmed. Good call.
Rigida DP-18 rims is the new suspect for them...not the lightest wheel-set, but definitely interesting.
Love when folks take off the sticker.

Scirocco was a 20-spoke integrated wheel in matte alloy finish with a moderate high-profile rim and bladed spokes. In was the 3rd or fourth in the lineup underneath the "HPV" Shamal (think it was the second evolution of the latter)
Rigida DP18 was one of the few highprofile rims of that era and possibly the second-most popular after the Mavic CXP30. (belive Ambrosio also made one at the time, other smaller brands possibly too). DP18 could be correct for that rim on the pic.
The Campagnolo hubs of that era differed only very slightly among each other. Unless it was a Rec or Chorus, which had the thicker part in the center of the hub body, the major visible difference would have been the surface finish (the higher polished, the higher up in the gruppo hierarchy) and, if you are lucky, engravings.
Most of these hubs share the same parts, according to the spare parts catalogue, sometimes oly the axle has a different nr.
Lots of the items, especially the hubs, also saw multiple use in different groups; what was a Croce d'Aune or Chorus could be an Athea, Veloce, Mirage or Avanti or whatever, one of the next years, and also parts were shared between the road and the MTB range.
Add to that the unreliability of supply that was present in that era, so many a crafty shop owner would mix parts when building a customers bike (price difference below Chorus was negligible), sometimes without telling the owner. So even if an Ebay Seller will swear he bought it as a full Athena bike, it doesn't mean it is in every detail.
