I'll apologize ahead of time to everyone but Patrickt for the semi thread hijack and rant posted below.

Whenever I read of someone complaining they cannot get an answer without making a simple phone call, I feel they are not part of the solution, but part of the more common problem of the internet. Expecting it to be handed to you on a silver platter instead of actually taking the time to find out for themselves. Some very successful people still do not use the internet, one of them happens to be Fran Kress. So, instead of going back and forth with your posts (you have a tendency to take over a thread and split hairs to the point of disgust as viewed by the rest of us, perhaps just to pad your posts, or perhaps you are "THAT" A type personality that must get the very last word in), essentially hijacking a thread and taking it to someplace where it should have never gone in the first place.). The bottom line since you asked, if you are seriously interested in the price of the above mentioned wheels, pick up the phone on Monday and make the call. If not, then why bother to jerk everyone else around with your posts on this or any other thread.


Enough said.

I think Patrick works for that telecommunications company or maybe some Internet provider that's been in the news recently, lets say last week some time.

As my Dad would say, "do you guys just like the sound of your own voices?"

Oh the holy grail of wheels. Please continue gentleman.

I guess the white finish on the inside of the wheels is some sort of aftermarket sealant to prevent air from leaking through the magnesium?

These are an ORIGINAL set of front/rear mag Cobra II Halibrands that Mr. Kress has for sale. I took these pictures last weekend during a visit to his estate (hidden on an island somewhere in the Southern Hemisphere to prevent GI Joe, the Taliban and the IRS from attacking)

The pictures were taken on his bed as he sleeps with these wheels to prevent any magnesium deterization from extreme temperature variances, he bravely gives his body heat for the protection of the next owner!

Guys, same drill. Not my wheels. Call Fran for details, price, b!tches, etc.
