RPMS Posted December 13, 2001 Share Posted December 13, 2001 quote: Originally posted by scca: those look like Halibrand copies... like a old COBRA....... So THAT'S where I remember them from! Yeah, they're different, but similar enough to trigger the memory. I also agree, in part, with Jeromio. I'd either lose the knockoffs, or switch them for the the two-winged type, like the wire-wheel Jags had. The spinners that are on that wheel right now seem a bit too long, IMHO. Overall, it's a very nice looking wheel! Be sure to let us know how many body parts you'll have to sell to afford them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danno74Z Posted December 13, 2001 Share Posted December 13, 2001 As Mike said brace yourself!!! $1,950.00 for a set of 4. I've been down this road for my rims. Too expensive unless you have a lot of money. Danno74Z Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
