Halibrand Magnesium 427 Wheels

Hmmmm...Was it Bob's gaurded optimism or my mock pride?

Maybe I'm just nudging him so he'll feel obligated

The call I'm referring to is when Bob called me back last week. He was in the middle of his fact finding and had....an air about him. Could be all in my head. In fact, probably was.

Don't ask me why but I'm still optimistic.

I'm going to do my best imitation of Patrick and say that Sisyhus had more luck than you or us.

Although it's just hope, our best bet may be Fran. But at this point I think we're just using up Brent's server space for no good reason.

Rodknock,

Are you saying my actions would even put Elpis to the test?

Keep hope alive! Keep hope alive!

[patrickt]

sorry. Elpis has left the building....

What I'm saying is that you would have had higher probability of picking Kentucky, UConn, VCU and Butler for the Final Four, before the tournament started, than ultimately getting these magnesium wheels made.

You have air in your head??

This thread now has 30 pages of air.

I wish the NOS magnesium Cobra II wheel hoarders would come out of the woodwork and offer up a set or two already. I would already have a set, but not for the fact that some ERA owners decided to machine their mag wheels and ruin them for MOI'.

If you would just machine your hubs to match the ERA specs then you'd be all set.

You can take my name off the list.

I'm in the process of buying an extra set of aluminum wheels. Once I get them powdercoated, probably a bright gold, then I'll get a set of BB's and mount them up.

[ERA Chas]

If you get gold, I'm changing your screen name to Flava Flav and getting you a clock...

[RodKnock]

Well, I thought about powdercoating them white, but then I would have to change the color of my sidepipes to white too. Well, I don't have the wheels yet.

[ERA Chas]

If you must coat, ask the coater for a magnesium finish. I've seen iridescent finishes which have subtle gray/green/gold blends, like a Canton pan.
An idea I like better is to consider chroming them which goes perfectly with your chrome bodywork. Chrome, with all the letters removed from the BB's will look serious. Of course, all of these will add pounds to your garage floor.

[rodneym]

And while you're at it, a polished cammer and pipes.
Then you could call your garage a museum.

If you're going to do that, then I insist that you embed a diamond in your central incisor.

Are you serious? Not that the list means much.

We've become such cynical jackasses that I don't even know when I'm making a joke.

Maybe I should just clean up those dusty mags I have in the garage.

April Fools! Suckers!

Though I am serious about buying an extra set of aluminum wheels to screw around with, but they would be a dark gray or black to simulate unpolished magnesium like a photo here on CC of CSX4323.

Bright gold? White? Puh-leeze.

But Rodknock, how could that be an April Fool's joke?

Bright gold, white? I can see you doing that.

First off-it's April fifth.
S'matter with chrome?? Larry N. Johnson loves it.

[RodKnock]

Well, if these magnesium wheels ever are made...(insert joke here).....then I'll probably have two sets of aluminum wheels to sell.

I should add to my April Fool's joke that me buying a set of BB's is pretty far-fetched as well. I'm an Avon fan.

Avons will be my next tire. But if I put Avons on mags I would negate the weight saving!

BB's on mags would be pretty darn light.
