Who makes em?

« on: October 27, 2008, 09:49:21 AM »


I am looking at purchasing these.  The owner said they were made by Smith.  Said they were rubbing when he lowered his Super.  Should be fine on my STD.  Just curious of the manufacturer.[/img]

Looks pretty close to a regular empi 8 spoke? Except the chrome looks better on his.

I thought they were the 8 spoke until I really paid attention.  I think I'm gonna buy em.  The banker (wife) gave me approval!  Man do I love that woman!

The fella that owns the wheels wants $150 for all 4 including the center caps.  Would you think this is a good deal?

Actually Mack did all the work.  All I had to do was aim him.

That's what I thought.  I asked Rachel to loan me the money.  She said she does not do loans.  I then told her to just give it to me.  She said ok.  I have been selling some old parts and such I had laying around to fund my budget bug as to not use our income.  She said $150 wasn't much and she could handle that.  So if I space out the needs for that kinda money then maybe I'll get this thing built in the next few years. :)

Brian...I think she has finally seen how much this project means to me.  Mack has pretty good aim, especially when latching on to a sheriff's car in a parade!

Never seen a set but the chrome looks pretty nice in the pics. Something different for sure,I'd say $150 is a killer deal.

Here's a good look of them on a car.  BTW, I love the stance of this bug.  More or less the look I'm going for.  (the engine is not in that car)
