Tough crowd.%/
:LOL: |
Hey, what can I say, I'm a purist, er, an "originalist", unless someone wants to "refudiate" me. :LOL:
Rodney, let me save you the trouble. The status of the wheels is the same status as before the holidays.....a pipe dream. But, I'm still "in", if the wheels ever get "turned out." |
"...where we're at..." is urban usage as a noun "equivalent", something like a pronoun phrase.
The common phrase, MF, we know, doesn't actually describe a precise activity or act. It is a very perjorative and potentially insulting adjective or a noun, depending on usage. In modern Americano, i might never have had relationships with a mother and yet remain a blazing MF. Where we're at, can be a place, like Philadelphia, or even a description of a status or condition, as in, "that's where we're at" in describing our relationships. The phrase, "where's you at", for instance, does not only ask your location. It might ask your attitude, decision or condition. But, given a few sets of Hali's this spring and i might get over my affection for all this usage vs rules stuff. New Hali's to me mean safety and the correct look. Setting the bead on old mags seems to be just a gamble. That's why the new tire machines set the bead from the drop centers inside a steel cover. Years ago used wheels were 50USD., so we really had perhaps two dozen with various tires. Today, two new sets, dry and wet are enough for historic events and street. By the way, rain race tires make great street tires, dot or not... Good for perhaps 5000 street miles or so and great in the rain. |

Any response yet? David |
601HP,
I did email Richard Monday but haven't heard anything yet. In all fairness he did say he would have his price by mid January so he probably doesn't have any news. |
Thank you Rodney.

Just tell him to keep the prices the same as the last production run. Fronts $765/each and the rear $795/each. Not a dollar more.
Bad economy and all. :D |
I am really glad that there is interest. Hopefully, high quality/light weight magnesium wheels for our cars will become a reality soon. I have not followed every page of this thread, but did M&A drop out of the picture? It seemed that their wheels were very good quality. M&A lists GT40 wheels on their website. I can't recall whether I ever asked them if they are available. If so, I would buy them in a heartbeat. I think that the look cooler than the 427 S/C wheels.

From what I've been told by M&A and Halibrand, in the past, M&A produces the wheels for Halibrand using the Halibrand molds. |
Hey Dude, where's our mid-January update?
Or was that mid-January 2012? :LOL: ;) |
I'm on it. I emailed Richard last week and once this week.
Crickets.:CRY: Next week I'll call. It may be a stickier situation than we previously thought. :eek: |
I would be interested in a set...I mean, have you checked the price of firewood in Georgia lately ?!

It seems I've waited on parts all my life. :CRY: Once upon a time, I almost bought a set of those new modern aluminum SOHC heads. Boy, I'm glad I didn't get involved in that mess. |
