Bianchi Celeste Wheels?
Looking to upgrade my Bianchi. Anyone have suggestions for some nice matching wheels? Celeste? ;)
|
nothing beats black wheels with big writing on them :)
I reckon the recent attempted trend for silver rims to make a comeback will fail |
Bora Bora... wheels, holiday or just because it sounds cool

i think celeste tires are as close as you'll get. I think puter / gun metal gray looks really good with celeste, so I'd look in to some puter rims.
|
Who makes Celeste tires?
|
They are super hard to find now, i think it was michilen who used to make them, but who ever it was stopped so usually the celeste tires I find are NOS or 'slightly used' on ebay.

Celeste tires would be cool too... yeah. So I guess I'm back to square one.
Looks first, performance later. :) |

Apparently out of production, but this place has had them on closeout for months now, must have bought up the remaining stock. I don't know of any celeste wheels (and I probably would have found them during my celeste phase with my Bianchi Veloce). I got black to match the stem, bars, post, and cranks I had on mine. I suppose you could get deep rims, get some BIANCHI stickers, cut each letter seperately and put them around the rim. Just a thought. |
If your LBS deals Bianchi, they should be able to get them, I forget the brand, but they exist.
My faves right now are a set of NOS Grand Prix 3000s that actually match my 80's frame a lot better than the Vittorias did... Good luck finding those... |
