|
|
I've always been a fan of the Mooneyes Speedmaster wheels. I never wanted to bight the bullet though.
I guess the copyrights are null and void when it comes to wheels these days because it seems more and more copies are coming out here lately.
Not complaining...just stating.
CIP1 now offers an SS Super Speed wheel.. which is a dead ringer for the Speedmasters.

Id bet you're right.
I think the Moon Speedmasters are originally from Japan... _________________ aka Ken {o\!/o}

I live about 40 miles from Cip1's office and I'm tempted to give them a call and ask if I can come by for a look (and maybe a weigh).
I've had my American Eagle repo Fuchs' on my Intermeccanica 356 for a number of years and wouldn't mind a change. |

Damn, now they're on sale at Cip1.
Very tempting.

I just saw them today and was thinking "DAMMIT". I've got a full set of chrome Speedmaster's sitting in my dining room waiting to go on. And now If I'd have waited till I actually needed them they'd be 1/2 the price. _________________ - '57 Sunroof Beetle (project)

The Chinese have cornered the wheel market, so even OEM wheels come from China now. _________________ Good Luck
