You don't get IT. You gave me a hard time because I posted an alloy wheel, which has the near exact appearance of a brand new magnesium Halibrand Cobra II wheel. I was trying to show Patrick what a mag wheel would look like.

And then you post a magnesium hot rod wheel, which looks absolutely nothing like a brand new magnesium Cobra II wheel from Halibrand with the gold Dow7 finish. I know what magnesium wheels look like new and used since I was in the market for several years. We've had 10,000 threads on them here alone. And even Fran Kress came to CC to generate some business and reproduce them, but he could find only 2-3 takers (me, Rodney) here.

This is an X and Z conversation between me and Patrick. Y you in it.
