Your wheels look amazing. They really cleaned up well. Are they original to the bike? The reason I ask is because I was told that Fiammes like yours, which lack text above the helmet, are late 60's to around 1970. Yours are identical to what I used to restore my ca. '70 Masi. Masi Bob (Hovey) told me that early to mid-60's Fiammes say Brev. Longhi or something like that above the helmet. I'm more curious than anything else. It's so hard, at least for me, to pin down when Fiammes were in production.

Everything is original except for the rims. The logo on the original rims were unidentifiable as far as the Fiamme logo goes, the front had no label and the rear was chipped to the point that you could only tell it was the oval red label logo. I went with these after months of looking on ebay and craigslist with no luck of finding anything usable for a restoration, and then found these from a local vintage shop.
