| would you buy it? would you buy a wheel that looks just like the Work Leadsleds? they would be in sizes from 15-20inch, and could come in as wide as 17x11.
they would be cheaper then the Works as well, till you start getting into the size 20 or so. And would be a lot easier to get. But average about $500 less a set and shipping would be less as well, they are made in the U.S.
they are cheaper, but not cheap wheels, made of billet aluminum.
I will have more info later, I just need a list of would you you be interested? Other designs would follow as well if enough interest. as well as parts like OH SH!T handles, oil caps, maybe even AC knobs.
post up and let me know. |

| Re: would you buy it? and what about the other stuff? as well as the wheels, would it be something you would be interested in? billet grab handles, oil caps(not sure on design), dip sticks, Optima battery mounts, AC vents, and maybe even AC knobs. |

| Re: would you buy it? PM me the 1st letter of the name of the wheel maker.
Edit: Well, I proved myself to be a tool. But, I'm watching with much interest.

| Re: would you buy it? I dunno about this....
Replica stuff in general is crap. And this being a replica, multi piece wheel made in the US, .....i had yet to find a US made multi piece wheel that isn't crap. |

| Re: would you buy it? I think it's a craved one piece wheel, Matty. The maker does have a stand up reputation with the hot rod community. And most of the "real" rodders don't take short cuts, or pinch pennies like me! |
