My guess is it won't be for long. They only had three sets of the dark grey minilites. They sold two sets before I got to 'em and wound up with the last ones. It appears thay don't carry them anymore either. That's what I was checking when I found these. If I didn't have the grey's comming, I'd have a set of these on the way. If only to have something to trade/sell later.

WOW... $40 less than when I bought mine. I really like them and think it's a great value. They come with center caps and new lug nuts too. Beats paying $400 per wheel when you go with the real thing. Something us hobby guys can't afford!

Did you get real minlites or the clones?

Mine are supposed to be real. (from what I've read.)




Hehehe, comming from the guy with 13.5K in a RB car!!!!

You passed hobby up a while back bro !!!!

I think you have more in your RB than anyone else here. ( not that it's a bad thing.)

:lol: Whatchoo smokin' Kellysguy?!? I bought mine for $900 and have put $3500 into it..... I think I'm still to the positive on the deal, but getting closer every day... this weekend we get the 5 speed installed... OK, maybe $4000 into it.

I have authentic "Minilights" not "Minilites"... big diff in the $$$

O.K, that's a typo on your part as I definatly rememeber seeing a thread where you stated you had 13.5K in the car.

Maybe you meant to type 3.5 and that one jumped up in there. I don't rememebr which thread it was, but it was most definatly 13.5.

Those are exactly what I bought... don't think they have the polished lip. Betcha a beer, dude.

You got silver, I got grey. The grey have a polished lip.

I figure if I don't like grey, I can always paint silver and have the polished lip too. Dual carbs commin' too....or should I say, dual crabs.
