No disrespect to anyone, but this thread seems worthless and is now aggravating.
BTW, there's an old ad here on CC for a set of Halibrand magnesium wheels with tires for $3,200, but the fronts were machined for ERA and thus Kirkham and CSX owners would have to use a 0.4" spacer, which is something I'm not intersted in doing. Not sure if they're still available, but for an ERA owner looking for a set of magnesium wheels, they're an option.
I'm now exploring other non-magnesium wheel options for my car.

I grew up on Adam West. You know that he does the voice over for a cat in one of the cartoon series that my kids watch? You can't miss that voice if you grew up with Batman.

I know buddy and am disappointed. Oh passing on this mag soap-opera fine-don't blame you.
But trendy black is wanting to do something out of boredom. It's against your lightness credo and not a 'natural' finish like the rest of your beautiful car. And painting centers gold will clash with the chrome body work.
If you MUST do something, get yours fine-glass beaded for a more 'vintage' look. Like deese:
My unasked-for 2c...

You're funny. Yes, I'm thinking of those two options.
Before my car left UT, Joe at Kirkham was kind enough to satisfy my curiosity with the unfnished FIA's on my car. I didn't like it.
As for magnesium wheels, I won't give up on them, I'll keep looking on eBay and such, but Rodney keeps making me suffer "the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune."
You see. I'm so ticked that I'm starting to sound insufferable like Patrick now with the Hamlet schtick.
Chas, I do like to tinker with the simpler things, you know, because people (Patrick) think I'm dumb and my wee little brain can only handle so much.
Patrick does enjoy calling me dumb when he can. I thought that "FIA suitcase panel" idea that FatBoy did was interesting and Patrick called me dumb. I'm seeing a pattern here. He hasn't called the mag wheel idea "dumb" yet, but I'm sure that can't be far behind.

You're taking scheiss from a guy that hatched the "drill-holes-in-your-plate-light-and-put-xmas-bulbs-in-it"?? In 1000 posts and pix?? Get hold of yourself man.
You owned a 540 Mid-year, remember? You ain't dumb.

No word from Fran or Bob Lacey since last week.
Bob said last week that he's working on it. I have a feeling he would really like to make a run. I think you'd agree that it would be a nice feather in their cap if they did.

Now you're just being a pest.
Wasn't the last news from Fran, via Cobra Pack, that Fran's phone was ringing off the hook?
