Post by: diesel on February 09, 2012, 01:05 PM: I think you missed the point, the price is one thing

However until this pair appeared, no one was really sure whether they really existed.

$4000 is a lot, I'm perfectly aware of that. However what is a one off set of wheels worth?

Post by: lk_97 on February 09, 2012, 04:28 PM: I'd buy them, then put them on a piranha just to annoy the Americans's :LolLolLolLol:

To be honest at that price you might as well just pick them up and get a holiday too...

The rarity is undenialable ,, the desirabilty is another ???

The price does seem extreme ,

for something to command big bucks, ,,it has to be saught after 8)

if nobody knows anything about them , they aren't saught after :crazy2:

Plus no previous sales to gauge a ball park value doesn't help either :-\

ta for posting em Dan ;)

Post by: punkdSICO on February 24, 2012, 07:31 PM: I see the BIN has been reduced from $4k to $2k. I could actually imagine someone buying them for $1k but 2k is still just stupid..

Agreed. Just because they're rare doesn't make them beautiful. And probably explains why they didn't mass produce them in the first place.

I'll give him £35 and make a clock out of em
