Posted: Wed Mar 15, 2006 5:02 am Post subject: The Official DDS wheel thread..... |
|
|
i was curious what markings the DDS wheels had on them. i have looked at pictures fo DDS wheels and the Ercos and they look the same to me. If you were going to pay the big $$$ DDS products command how do you verify? _________________ These are not the New Old Stock parts you are looking for...

I figured I paid $1500 for my first set of 4 along with a flat 4 5th spare wheel. All in very nice shape, with caps and lugs. And that was 5 years ago. The set I have now from a barn stored race car I bought for 1000, traded to a friend and bought them back with a NOS brm for 2k a year later, again, a few years ago. I wouldnt think of selling them today. crazy $$$$$$$ _________________ Sounding like a broken record as to why You should be measuring protein during harvest in order to better your agronomic practices. |

How much is one, ratty, non-usable one worth?
I'm also looking for one to use as a hose hanger in the yard. _________________ Sounding like a broken record as to why You should be measuring protein during harvest in order to better your agronomic practices. |
