Roddo, what did you say? 10-12k?

Well, Rodknock, they sold for $9,998.00.
$2 off the mark. Better luck with next time.

I should open up my own Tarot Card Reading business downtown.
I'll "give" you another one. California Chrome wins Saturday.
Just let me know if you need anything else.

Depending on what batch he was trying to get into production, his price varied from $4,000-$5,000, but for a set of 4.
Actually, a sale of a real set of Halibrands at $10K, should get his foundry "fired up." (pun intended) |

I question that Rod. $1000 per?-dubs sell for way more than that. I seem to remember more like $4K per. That's why he got little response here and then stopped talking to us all together.

Nope, his price(s) depending on when he floated the inquiry was for a set of 4 wheels. There's no chance I'd be interested at $4,000 per wheel or $16,000 per set. |

Roddo's right, Chas. Per set, although I remember it more like $5k.
Ah, the days of the Halibrand thread. I felt like Don Quixote.
Chas, you realize you could have sold your ERA with Trigos, I'm sure for the same price.
Then sold your Mags to Rodknock.

BTW, the Kirkham Billet Girling calipers are $5,000 and they're only available with the original tubular type suspension, which is $10,000.
I think my Wilwood brakes with billet suspension work OK. 
If I did buy a new set of wheels, then I'd probably buy a set of fake Halibrand-looking (gold-ish) wheels from Vintage.

Ya. My Wilwoods are looking finer by the minute.
Still, would've been nice to put Hali's on, no?

Yes, mainly because with magnesium, I could drop the weight of my Kirkham 20-30 lbs. And I think I'd notice that weight difference alot.....going "Vroom Vroom" as I sit in my car.....in the garage.
Certainly, my concrete garage floor would thank me. Less potential for cracks.
Seriously, if Fran comes along again, like Halley's Comet, I could be a magnesium buyer again. But you would have to sort out the offset issue for me, since I can't do calculus any longer.  |

Come to think of it, when my Yoko's age out, which is fairly soon, then I may just buy those Vintage wheels at the same time as my Avon's.

Avons may weigh more than your Yoks. They are a lot more than BBs.

True.
Mag Halis made like Trigos, with BBs. That's it right there.
Fran is playing his cards close.
Hali doesn't desire a win/win situation (my funds plus their name/boxes, split 50/50).
So......here we are. We live in a world of $10k, 20 yr old Halis. 
Sorry for getting on my soapbox, it's just that it still stings

I won't say never, but, Billboards will never (oops) be installed on my car, if I'm the owner. I'd buy a 17" setup before Billboards.
Fran needs to sharpen his pencil and get moving. I think he needs to formulate a price that is more palatable to a wider Cobra replica audience. Just because there's someone out there willing to pay $10K for a real set of mag Halibrand's doesn't mean he can get 20-25 buyers at $5,000 per set.
Kirkham should make a billet wheel option, "sandblast" (or whatever the finest material is nowadays) the face and paint the centers "that gold" color. I'd see myself as a buyer.
