I guess you are missing 15K for some wheels. So am I. That is stupid.

Not putting miles on your car is like not having sex with your girlfriend, so she'll be more desirable to her next boyfriend.

That's a lot of money, but then they are magnesium, so maybe super rare.

I do not disbelieve in anything. I start from the premise that everything is true until proved false. Everything is possible.

If Jeff is selling them, they're more than likely as described.

He's good people but, hoo, boy, those are spendy! I had no idea!

Yikes - only two and one has a dent ...

I am glad I have a lowly 90s car with Fikse - still cheap!

Those would be collectors items only. Stashed away gaining value.

I doubt they'll ever see the road again.

They're magnesium, they're old, but they're rare. I wouldn't trust them on anything but a show car.

I sure wouldn't track 'em.
