I hate "offer" ads, but I'm running one due to all the people wanting to buy my used set of magnesium wheels.

I have recently heard a rumor that these N.O.S ones had a offer of $12K

Used ones.... $8k

I guess if people want something bad enough they will pay.

If you don't get it, no amount of explanation will make you get it.
Be happy that you aren't driven to pay crazy money for collectible things.

I understand the desire for rare parts/accessories, but $12k for a set of wheels? But, I guess if you have the funds for that shit, more power to ya'! Hell, I can't say that I wouldn't do it if I wasn't such a poor bastard! :lol:

Yes the repros will save you alot of money Porkchop....if you wait a little longer when CIP1.com up north sells them you will save huge amounts of cash....definately worth the wait if you are out to save a dollar.

Thu Aug 02, 2007 4:30 pm

No he wants a set of aluminum Torq Thrust "D's"...he bought two of my aluminum Rims and wants two more

the used set in the photo were media blasted.... they look like aluminum but are magnesium.

the N.O.S set is Magnesium

So he has eight total magnesium and two aluminum Torq Thrust "D" spoke American Racing Equipment rims.

Pretty cool huh 8)

wow. i wish i could have seen this in person. can you bring this bus and set up to bulli brigade?

Mon Aug 20, 2007 4:18 pm

I like this straight on shot Patrick took better.

Wish I would have found time to take my own pictures. I would have cleaned up the clutter a little bit.

A lot of people wanted to see them, so I brounght all of them out, the Aluminum ones are on the ground in front of the flap.

My plan for Florida was to bring the Vendo, but after cruising this Salesflap around with the new engine, etc. I may bring it instead...

Time will tell.
