Is that a Select-a-drop?  I haven't seen one of those in  25 years. They suck!  works best if you use it as a paperweight.

Garbage! Ive got one of theose that my dad bought back in the 70's and never installed. Scary! Drop spindles and a slightly narrowed adjustible beam is the only way to fly.

I just got a pair of Gene Berg DCNF manifolds for a type I.  They are unported and in good shape.  I needed them for my 42s.

I hope they're not travelling with Parcel Farce, they're what the series Lost was based on. For them 'not far away' is a similar state as the entity known as 'tomorrow'! It would be a tragic end for a pair of rims*.

 Cheesy


*Though there are too many of them and they have got boring. Tongue

Haha, no I really don't wanna go there again, so parcel fArce no thank you.
Just checked the tracking and they finally cleared customs and will hopefully be in my hands tomorrow!

I know theese fuchs rims are very "trendy" but they have been a long dream for me to put on my split window. I did contemplate if I should put ercos on it though after purchasing that for my daily driver. I really really liked the way they look.. but suddenly I came over theese and I'm very happy about them :-) even if they have got boring  Roll Eyes

I have received a package from you today, thank you!
