I think those wheels look great on your car. even if you have to buy another for 700 you still only have 750 for a set of one off rims with a little bit of history. sounds like a good deal to me.

If I was in your shoes, and couldn't get one from the guy who makes them. I would throw them back on craigslist for $150. Especially considering you have a one-off ford bolt pattern set

I asked the guy to make me another wheel. He said since they dont have the program and so forth they would run me about 5K a wheel since they will start all over from scratch! F that! peace

well then hang on to them. They cost you NOTHING so it won't kill you to keep em. Keep scouring the ads and one will pop up.

Maybe I'm missing something, but if the owner of the company claimed there is no record of a ford pattern set of wheels being built for a customer. How is one going to pop up somewhere?

Because we're talking about a set of custom one-off wheels, and not just some somewhat rare factory wheels, I suspect that will lead to three elaborate aluminum conversation pieces collecting dust in his garage for years to come, haha.

Some of you maybe be confussed,or maybe i miss worded it?I did contact him on the phone and he said the old owner's son was big into cars and his son probably made daddy make him a 1 off wheel for a ford pattern. THEN after i emailed the owner pics he said that they werent his wheel or brand and style!So thats why it would cost me like 5K to have him make 1 wheel. But yes i am holding onto them till i stumble across one..........well kinda like i did today! Well hopefully!I contacted radius in italy and they responded back with a contact in canada called rdsport.So i talked to him then emailed him the pics so hopefully i'll finally get the 1 wheel i need!I'll keep everyone informed as time goes!peace

I know! i was like WTF! I also dont understand he says it's that much?But yet he still has SOME of the pieces laying around. Kinda sounds fishy to me. I might hang on to them or peel the ruber and sell it? I'm thinking of 03/04 cobras now! peace
