A total waste!!

Post by Mathew » Tue Aug 05, 2003 8:41 am

I know what you mean Glenn. There was a J-Limited II for sale on a Hamilton car lot a while back. It had a lovely set of bronze coloured 15" Volk TE-37 (Big$$$) rims on it. It sat on the lot for quite a while (mainly because it was an auto methinks). I guy I know went down to see the cardealer and offered to swap the alloys for some new ones. The Dealer thought the Volks looked ugly so a deal was done and a new $700 set of alloys found its way onto the car, which sold very soon after. The guy I know fitted his newly acquired Volks (must be worth about $700 each!) to his drag racing Mirage and all lived happily ever after.

Though I can't really talk, I removed the near new 14" Panasports (Weedy little things) off my car and replaced them with far-from-new
set of dirty Ol' 17's. Bugger the purists, the 17's just look too good.

WHAT!!
I visited that very same dealer and made him the same
offer on the volks and he told me "no way was he
selling the mags off it" i guess it must have sat for
a while after so he changed his mind.
Ive got the same weedy panasports on my MX!!!
theyve gotta go.

Ha ha!!!
yes absolutly, anyone who wants to donate a pair of
volk racing wheels for a long term scientific
experiment,ill be only too happy to try them out!
Then again, new shocks would probably be more helpful,
but its hard to brag about "nice looking shocks".
which reminds me of a joke i once heard...
