Title: Re: $28,450.00 for Rudge wheels on ebay... Post by: bugnut68 on May 09, 2011, 19:54:06 pm That's a lot of coin for wheels that looks like (from my eyes anyway) run of the mill chromies... I second what the other feller said about a fool and his money. ;D

I've had the pleasure of smacking around a set of these wheels (with a lead hammer and kid gloves of course ;)) I think they would look cool an a Split or Oval Cal-looker myself ;D Title: Re: $28,450.00 for Rudge wheels on ebay... Post by: deano on May 09, 2011, 21:44:50 pm Yeah to this crowd, real VW BRMS are a bargain at 10-12K.... Brasso not included of course.
Title: Re: $28,450.00 for Rudge wheels on ebay... Post by: kingsburgphil on May 09, 2011, 23:11:34 pm I don't remember when Rudge knockoffs weren't highly sought after and ghastly expensive. Often worth more than the car they came off of.
$28K does indeed surprise me, but I'm sure someone will step up and bite the bullet. Title: Re: $28,450.00 for Rudge wheels on ebay... Post by: Bill Schwimmer on May 10, 2011, 03:43:15 am Price a set for a Merc 300SL, your about halfway there.
Title: Re: $28,450.00 for Rudge wheels on ebay... Post by: Rennsurfer on May 10, 2011, 04:58:19 am Schwimmer's correct. And at the same time, I never cared for those even thirty-forty years ago. To me, the factory steel wheels or alloys looked much better. Could never figure out why anyone wanted to deviate from their factory wheels on a Porsche. It was mind boggling to witness while working at my local Porsche dealer.
Oh to be able to go back and grab all of those n.o.s. steel and alloy wheels from the Take-Off bin, upstairs. (sigh) Title: Re: $28,450.00 for Rudge wheels on ebay... Post by: kingsburgphil on May 10, 2011, 06:35:19 am Or, maybe these will blow your skirt up ;D

Very German indeed ;) Yeah, I know... seen those things for forty years. Still don't like 'em. To each their own, I guess. Title: Re: $28,450.00 for Rudge wheels on ebay...
