ROD-
At the risk of being a huge PIA (actually don't care if I am  )-does it NOT make sense to try Bob Lacey?????????
What is there to lose----it's easier than making innumerable phone calls-that get ignored. Those guys don't want your business-period. If one of them does, he would get on here and say so with specific info as to how and when it will work.
I'll keep asking until someone gives me a definitive, sensible answer....

Chas,
I don't know if you meant me (rodneym) but I go by Rodney. 
I've got no problem with Bob Lacey (or Bob Uecker for that matter). I'm simply trying to keep the maybes manageable.
What if Richard and Fran say YES?! And then Bob says 'me too'? And then Globetrotters win the title? And the moon IS really cheese? And Patrick gets dirt under his well manicured nails.
THEN WHAT?????

Don't drag me in to this -- I've been saying this deal was doomed from the outset.

Then, unless they price-fix, you win! Competition means lower prices...
You can dream...

FWIW, it would appear that Fran would likely get his wheels made by M&A, since M&A has heard from him recently. M&A hasn't talked to Halibrand for a long time, so Halibrand is probably going through someone else.
I've thought about making my debut in the wheel business, but I'm sick and tired of doing charity work.

You might have well said "Beetlejuice" three times and we would be better off on this thread than using Patri.........

minor update
Just spoke with Richard and he still needs more time. He'll make calls this week... 
Richard was speaking with a bit of familiarity about the this thread. In other words, he asked me if I'm buying Fran's wheels . I replied, "Whoever does this first will get the lions share from this thread's list, including myself."
Just spoke with Fran. He needs more time... He's returning home tomorrow and asked for a couple more days.
Just spoke with Bob Lacey for the first time (Vintage Wheels). Nice guy. He's looking into it.
Trigo officially declined (I reconfirmed just now). Trigo gets the 'Quick, Definitive Answer Award'.

I'm forming a new CA LLC (Limited Liability Company) by the name of the "Halibrand Wheel Conspiracy, LLC." Once I have the LLC formed, I'll be contributing $50,000 of equity to get this project started after I review the contract with M&A. Then everything else should be downhill from there.
NOT.
BTW, I'm glad I thought of contacting Bob Lacey. One of my better ideas.

No surprises here. Please keep me and the other guy who's actually interested in purchasing a set of these wheels informed when any new developments arise. Thank you.

Maybe you all can contact Charlie Sheen and see if he'll cast them for you. I hear he's got some free time on his hands now.

Is he still looking? Or did he decide that fixing Libya is easier than casting wheels in mag?

We should let this thread "swim with the fishes."
Let's face it, until the economy greatly improves and/or some great benevolent person (see Patrick's cam offer ) surfaces, new magnesium wheels will not be built.

I'll contact Bob.
Trigo basically said, and this is me paraphrasing, "We don't like Aluminum wheels sitting on the shelf, let alone Magnesium." Too expensive. Not enough interest.
We have yet to hear from Fran and Richard.
As Rodknock mentioned, there are other 'forces' at work.

Rod NEY- 
Thank you, I'll remain seated now.
In my book you are 'Rod' and Rodknock is 'Knockers'.
See? Aren't you glad to be 'Rod'?
