I thought Lamborghinis used to have Campag wheels. They possibly still do although perhaps the bean counters at Audi have got them on Shimano ones now.

They also claim to have made aerospace parts. I believe they touch upon it in their catalog #17

Campagnolo made many things for other industries, including magnesium cast things for aircraft and as you see, auto wheels. After the MTB mess and before they figured out 'click shifting', during the dark days of the mid to late 80s, Valentino sold all the other stuff to have the $ to continue in bike stuff only and the rest, they say, is history. Another rumor is that Mavic wanted to buy Campagnolo during this time and thankfully, Valentino refused.
Couldn't find a photo via google for some reason. (NASA revisionistic wwweb vacuuming? I understand they took the "moon landings were faked" thing pretty hard)
I have a Campy hubcap around here somewhere. --D-y
At one time Campy made wheels for aircraft as well.
