Mike it's nice of you to be the de-facto Kress and dribble info out. I have some questions to you or him on behalf of these guys who worked very hard to organize a buyers group-for any manufacturer.
How come Kress doesn't get on and inform this group of his new-found interested buyers. For $1100 per wheel that would be a nice touch. The 'he doesn't compute' is trite crap-the Kirkhams for instance have no aversion to talking to their customers or prospective customers. Hell, they even get on and HELP people without selling them anything.
How come the guys that got on Fran's list (making 'daily calls') didn't get on here and inform Rodney where they went and the status of the situation. Why didn't Kress get on or PM and tell Rodney? I think end-running Rodney after his patience and effort is piss-poor.
I don't have a KMP and I do have mags-my only interest is to help get these guys get what they really want.

OK, people.

Bob from Vintage Wheel hasn't called back yet. I even tried him yesterday. :CRY:

No news from Richard means...(where's that crickets smilie?) :JEKYLHYDE

Fran said to sit tight. I'll call him Monday. %/

Patrick, if it makes you feel any better, Trigo is still a "NO". :LOL:

...and Chas still hasn't sent me his address. :confused:

FYI, I do have to end every sentence with a smilie. :p

RodKnock 03-11-2011 04:18 PM
Chas, comparing the Kirkham company to Fran is not, wait for it, I hate this expression............apples to apples.

Fran is just an enthusiast like us, though with more money, since he may be able to take on this Herculean task. I'm not Mr. Moneybags like Patrick and his $25 LED tailights and $1,000 Centerforce clutches.

I'll say. Even apoplectic geriatrics have grandkids that can help their feeble fingers bang the appropriate keys. Mostly the "I don't compute" is just a crock o' shi* excuse for really not giving a damn to begin with. But in the business world, that can be fatal (or at least prevent you from achieving what you could have....):cool:

Fran told everyone on day one he has no computer skills. You are actually not helping the guys get wheels. You are only adding confusion to who really wants wheels. I have no idea why you are going off on fran. He is a one man show. He is not a business.

rodneym 03-11-2011 04:38 PM
I think Cobra Pack is right.

This isn't helping.

Fran is more than likely our ONLY hope for mags.

He has come through in the past.

He has fans and they have positive reviews of Fran and his wheels.

I don't care if he does it by smoke signals.

Phil Schmidt is a one man show and a business. He doesn't post here but he doesn't have a spokesman here either-he just makes wheels and sells them when people call him up.

Well I would care. He'd be polluting the air. :LOL:

I wish Phil would make us our wheels. I have a set of PS wheels for a Chevy in my garage that have been sitting for years. Too bad he only casts aluminum, I believe.

I've been waiting 3 years. If they're made, they're made. If not, I'm not losing any sleep over it. Just make sure you guys pass along any ebay auctions of the older generation Halibrand mag wheels. :rolleyes:

Cobra Pack 03-11-2011 07:21 PM
Okay - I have no interest in getting into a battle over this. I am officially done with this thread.

Well CP, I have to agree with you. When it comes to showing a callous disregard for others, ERAChas butts to the front of the line every time.:mad:

Here you go, pool your cash, take orders,and presto, mag wheels now- http://www.curto.com/

At least for mags made in the USA, since he would probably use M&A.

Fran has our contact info, if he calls, great.

rodneym 03-15-2011 12:42 PM
tiny update
 
Bob Lacey: Called me. Said he's still getting answers. Seems like this is the first time he's looking at magnesium. I'm confident that he'll give me a definite answer. And that's not too shabby :LOL:

Richard @ Halibrand: Last we spoke we basically decided that he will contact me when he's ready to make a run. :(

Fran: Played phone tag. He owes me a call. FRAAAAN!!!

Just to be thorough, Trigo is still a 'no'. :p

$1,000 for anyone who emails me Chas' address!! ;)

RodKnock 03-15-2011 01:01 PM
Thanks Rodney.

Even ME?????:D

You guys better PRAY that Lacey doesn't say something like:
"Sure I'll do mag-$500 per wheel, all ya want!"
I'll never let you forget it.....%/

You got it. Gentleman's bet. I'll even give you up to $700/wheel.
If that happens I'll buy you a year supply of any beer that comes in a nifty spun magnesium bottle. :p

I'll even put "ERA Chas is right about everything" as my tag line.

patrickt 03-15-2011 02:48 PM
This thread is slowly improving. I like it when you all put your money where your mouths are!

Should we make a new thread for this bet? Sorta like Tommy G. versus Blitz. :LOL:

I kinda wish we would bury this thread. Everytime it pops up, my hopes are dashed. :CRY:

Great- but then you have to mandate that to my spousal unit.%/
