Feedback on PS Engineering 2 Piece Wheels

[What'saCobra?]

If M&A will not sell the wheels due to a restraint of trade, they must remove them from their catalogue at least. They are also perhaps open to potentially serious charges regarding restraint of trade and misleading advertizing. Further, the ultimate designs, trade dress, copyrights and nomenclatures may not be Kress'.

They are just begging someone to begin fabricating wheels offshore. This is similar to the baloney that Halibrand went through in part, rather than just continue to cast nice wheels and sell them to all comers. Are they too cheap to pay for their own molds and patterns? What business are they in, for pete's sake? Don't they like making wheels? That was the impression i got visiting Halibrand not all that many years ago.

Why would M&A want to engender ill-will by restraining the purchase of their advertized wheels?

Are we simply mis-informed?

I too ran into this issue with M&A. They had a vendor stand at the vintage races at Road America last summer. Their FIA wheels are absolutely gorgeous. They are making Kidney Bean wheels for Fran Kress as well. Fran quoted me $6000 for a single set and said he would only go as low as $4500 if I bought multiple sets. This pricing is downright ridiculous. This is in the price range of genuine mag kidney bean wheels from the 60's. Unfortunately, the genies don't fit over my Comp Girling Brakes.

PS's aluminum FIA wheels are very nice. However they are one piece. I am specifically wondering if people have experience with their 2 piece wheels.

I don't think it is that sinister. M&A is wholesale only...no onesy sales (err....foursy?)...but, rather job lots.

Their website shows capability, not catalog, items.
