The Pinasco rims are the first tubeless, separable aluminium rims for the Vespa. They keep the advantage of the original steel rims and make it much easier to change the tyre in case of a puncture. The rim halves are cast and CNC machined. They have an O-ring between the rim halves. This seals the rims airtight and allows the installation of so-called tubeless tires.
Despite the aluminium used, the rims are just as heavy as the original steel rims. This is due to the safety and the great material thickness of the rim halves. The rim is equipped with a conventional 90° valve insert. For screwing the rim halves conventional M8 hexagon socket screws are used. Unfortunately, the O-ring groove does not have any ridges to hold the ring in position. Therefore, special care is advisable during assembly.
Due to the subsequent CNC processing, the rims run, in contrast to many steel counterparts, very round.
