It's from a Netflix show, "Sense 8," but I hope there's a real one somewhere in the world.

I get where you're coming from. I really like some of the old-school wheel patterns.

My favorite modern look are those similar to the BBS RS pattern.

Yeah. Those too. Dang. I've been eyeing MGBs like some kind of pervert lately, and having a lot of trouble with the search for 4 on 4 1/2" wheels in 15"... There are a few, but not many. There's a reason everybody and their mum runs Panasport/Minilite type wheels on those things...

At the time, it was a pretty big deal.  $1345 for this one.  And the Beta VHS wars hadn't been settled yet.

 

Point.  I was just a wee kid in the late 70's early 80's so I vaguely remember the beginning of video rental stores.  I do remember local stores carrying both formats though.  Seems like Beta was thought to be better?

 

 

Beta was better picture quality, not as much time capacity, proprietary like so much Sony stuff was.  VHS just wore them out.

Whatever the cost/availability misgivings, hng!

STARTING at $450/wheel can probably turn into $600/wheel pretty fast, but they do look nice. I think the matte bronze is my favorite

They're still like 1/3 the price of Forgelines. Le sigh...

I just took a 5 minute drive in this truck. I noted the pedal was soft but thought maybe I'd just find a sticky slider.

As trolls go, I'm fairly benign.

On this date in 1953, the first of 301 Corvettes arrived.  All were white with red interiors, all had straight six automatics, none had outside door handles.
