NOS Vintage EMPI GT wheels for early 911

[Cornpanzer]

1 pair (2 wheels) of the rare EMPI GT Mag wheels.  These wheels are NOS.   Lugs have never been tightened against them, caps have never been installed and tires have never been mounted.  Have been sitting for decades, so will need some polish work to look perfect again.

$600.00

Bump,
Will listen to reasonable offers

Could you post pic's of the crack's ??

[Cornpanzer]

There are no cracks.  These are NOS and of the later generation which did away with the stress risers that caused the cracks in the early wheels.

Please keep your editorials to yourself.

Sorry...... they do look cracked to me so I don't see anything wrong with asking for close up pic's so I can make an offer on them but I see you wouldn't sell them to me anyway. I know the difference in the wheels I don't really need to be schooled on them. Good luck on the sale.

..... they do look cracked to me

How does an NOS wheel develop cracks?

[restojohnny]

So your telling me that the bottom wheel in the pic doesn't look cracked on the face of the wheel on the end of the spokes??? If cornpanzer say's it's not cracked then the future potential buyer will have to take his word on it. Just because a wheel is NOS doesn't mean it doesn't get thrown around during it's lifetime from one shelf to another shipped/thrown in the trunk on it's way home to a new collector's collection or what ever the case may be the wheel get's moved around maybe even dropped kicked from the previous owner who doe's not know the value of the wheel he has ?? I've had a few NOS wheels with crack's so they are out there     my post wasn't to talk trash about his wheel's  just wanted to see close up pic's of what look's like crack's to me so I can make an offer on them as I was a potential buyer and wanted to see if they are really cracked or not  so again good luck on the sale

If you had said in your post something along the lines of " I am interested, but it looks like there may be a crack at so and so position...could I have some extra pictures" then I would have got you a few pics to show otherwise.  It would have been a sincere question and you would have got a thorough answer and as many hi-res photos as you could have wanted. 

Instead, you took the accusatory  stance by saying "could you post pics of the cracks".  Not only was it offensive to me, but it also planted a seed of doubt in the minds of potential buyers who may not know me or my reputation in this hobby, thinking that perhaps you know or saw something that they didn't.  The fact is though,that you didnt ask for additional photos and you didnt know what you were talking about when you accused me of trying to pass off cracked wheels. 

I see you wouldn't sell them to me anyway  This is clearly disingenuous. If you had been sincerely interested in the wheels you wouldn't have said what you did.   I am happy to take your money...it all spends the same.  If you were truly interested in buying the wheels, it wouldn't matter one bit that I called you out on your post.  I think that you are a blowhard, but you can easily prove me wrong by making a reasonable offer on the wheels. 

I know the difference in the wheels I don't really need to be schooled on them.     My mistake.  When I read your orig post, I was led to believe that didnt know much at all.

I never said they are cracked I said they looked cracked and as far as calling me a blowhard  That's pretty childish to say about me. I buy alot of wheels and I sell ALOT of wheels hell I BUY and sell ALOT of everything that's VW and when people ask me for detailed pic's they get it I could care less how they ask as the bottom line is they want more pic's so I just give it to them. I didn't accuse you of selling cracked wheels  I don't think I have tarnished your reputation nor the sale on the wheels either..... if you've been good to this hobby of your's then you'll have no problem with selling anything VW related....... this is not a hobby for me it's what I do for a living and I love what I do. I won't make an offer on your NOS wheels as I've been through this scenario before. For the last time..... GOOD LUCK ON THE SALE

Johnny, we probably should agree to disagree and let bygones be bygones, etc, etc

I think you are missing my point.  Re-read your first post.   You didnt ask for detailed pictures of the wheels!  You simply said "Could you post pic's of the crack's ??"...assuming that there were cracks that I wasn't mentioning.

If this is just a simple misunderstanding, then I apologize.  Yet even so, surely you can see why that statement might ruffle someones feathers. 

Anywayz.  As I said before, if you were truly interested in the wheels and not just busting balls like I assumed, tell me what detailed shots you want to see, make me a reasonable offer (based on the assumption that they are as described) and I will get you what you need.

Could you post better photos of the legs?

[Cornpanzer]

[Cornpanzer]

These are pending - thanks
