  2. Ha!!! You used 15x4 American magnesium wheels and reasonably priced in the same sentence. That could be one of the funniest things I have heard in awhile.

    Can you post a picture of the exact design you are looking for? We have thousands of old wheels where I work. I can take a look when I get back to work in January.

    Reasonably priced magnesium wheels are called aluminum wheels. Painted gray.
     
  10. I've got 2-1/2 sets....the only problem is they are stuck in a pair of 15x10's. Sorry, that was uncalled for....but.

    or how 'bout ETs in aluminum. These are reasonably priced at $800.

    If you want the look you've got to pay, or you could wait a very long time.

    I like the look of both, new and old. But REALLY like not having to polish every month to maintain the mags.

    The ETs are 15 x 4, any bolt pattern you want. Dead nuts copy of my magnesium wheels, without the pitting and polishing. :D When I'm flying down the highway and hit an expansion joint with a 40 year old mag wheel, I get a little nervous.

    Well there you go. Is that reasonable enough? I wouldn't let mine go for any cheaper.

    Oh so you bought some 15x4 mags for $600, but you have some US Indy (Not Ansen or Fenton) aluminum fronts for sale for $500??? 5 hundred for aluminum slots is sky high top of the market ebay sucker price.

    Get real dude!

    And then there is your $450 tach in the HAMB classifieds that has three 1 star ratings.

    This recession doesn't affect the rich. The rich always stay rich, and there will always be a market for true mags, like 32 fords.

    Wait, did I just read that right? You put up a post about wanting Mag front wheels, many people hook you up with links to many different pairs, you come back on with a tirade about how they are not rare and are all over so they can't be worth those numbers, yet you put up a post looking for a pair of mag front wheels....
