Well, this will no doubt piss certain people off.
I posted it a couple days ago on Randy Webb’s thread, “Forging of wheels and other parts”
http://forums.pelicanparts.com/showthread.php?threadid=352584 which makes me guilty of “double posting” god forbid. But I’m just too damned mean spirited for my own good and have no self control.
The car mag. info is true (which surprised the hell out of me!). The rest is fiction.
Browsing a car mag. I read that the "Chevy Cobalt SS Supercharged" comes with "18" forged-aluminum wheels fitted with 45-series, Z rated high-performance radials".
Air cooled 911 fanatic - "WTF?!! FWIW, SOB, MF, IMHO, whatta POS! LOL!!"
Innocent, uneducated newby, racking up 600+ posts asking irritating questions - "Gee, prolly so, but it does have high quality forged wheels like your high quality forged Fuchs."
Air cooled guy - "KEWL!!! Look JUST LIKE the real ones, huh? But they're NOT! Believe it or not these are genyoowine Bronze Age gravity cast Filipino Fakes, man! I scored these rims fer only A GRAND fer ALL FOUR!"
Newby dumbo - "But aren't you sacrificing.."
Kewl air-cooled guy (in best John Wayne drawl) - "Why I oughta punch you in the mouth! Don't you go contaminatin' our posin' with yer damn pesky questions!"
