Reply to "Controversial Goose"

firstpantera,

Look close at the eBay rims, the one in the upper right is different. The area towards the center of the rim from the tire valve is definitely different -- there is a missing cut edge right above the spokes. Also, the whole top looks different as well -- maybe there is a different offset to the one wheel?

I know these are rare as hen's teeth so I do understand that these are not readily available; and it is cool to find them in any condition. But damn, to pay this money for not perfect examples goes back to my first point. If you think you are going to purchase this for $45k and be O.K. financially then you're probably not living in reality. Yes, you could put all kinds of aftermarket stuff on the car from rims to aftermarket steering wheel to aftermarket seats to save money, but you'll also not draw anyone with money to purchase the car when that time comes as well. This goose is priced too high for anyone not to come out on it. My goodness, just look at the pricing of the non matching rim set!

I call this goose a FRIGHT PIG of huge proportion. Huge chance of downside, with not a very good chance of upside; especially when one can go out and buy the best for $100k for a car with all the correct parts on it; and yes, I do understand that $100k is not a trivial amount for a plaything either -- it's a lot of dough I would agree........
