*** UPDATE 12-3 ******
Guys, 17 sets arrived today (man that was fast LOL).  9 or 10 of these are pre-paid for.  The next 7 people to purchase at this link will get them in the mail tomorrow :thumb:

*********************




These bolt in just like stockers, but are stronger and more durable.  I haven't personally used them as I have Hipoint wheels with aftermarket cush, but Paul (Kojak) has done a lot of turbo charged testing on them in Germany (he sent me a couple of sets to see what I thought) and has had very good luck wth them.  He was going through stockers like crazy and these are holding up much better.

I am considering being a dealer on these for him and selling them in the states, would there be any interest?  Price isn't 100% firm yet, but something in the $60 shipped range for a complete set is what I think they would be sold at.

Greg

I have 1 set for anyone who would like to test them out, preferably someone who is still racing and can put them to use and not let them sit over the winter LOL

Yup, I am definately interested Greg. I do not race on strip,so couldn't give it the real test. But if you are going to sell them, I want a set for sure! :thumb:

I'd definitely be interested in a set but of course I fall into the sitting over the winter category.  :(

Just to be clear, Paul designed and spec'd these out, he sent me a couple of sets to see what i thought of them and possibly sell them, just dont want anyone thinking i made these up, i would just be a distributor, they do look like a very nice piece though.
