Just kidding.

Are these going on your truck or just to add to your NOS stockpile?

Thanks. For now, the plan is to have a set of rims powder coated white and run them on my Longhorn.

Trust me, I do know what you are talking about. As far as high end aftermarket wheels go, I have 3-piece HRE's on my Chevelle. If anyone knows anything about HRE's, they are the best. Wheels and tires were $6600. And that was the guy at the shop giving me a deal of no tax and shipping. The 22" HRE's I'm putting on the C10 will cost me $7500 wheels and tires. I know...I know, you guys are saying I'm crazy. But, after seeing HRE and owning two sets, I just cannot get used to a cast wheel and will not run a set on anything I drive. But that's just me and my insanity. So, if I wanted, or better yet needed those NOS hub caps I would have went for them too, no matter the price.

I thought it was funny!

And you had me for a second, Jerry. I was certainly scanning the rows for a set, or even a spare.

VA72C10 · 01-29-2011, 09:46 PM

I thought it was funny too...thus the smileys

HOTFUN · 01-29-2011, 09:49 PM

Congrats Richard. I learned the same lessons. Don't EVER hesitate when they went a good part of a day I think with a buy it now for $399 plus $20 shipping. I snoozed and asked the seller first about them and went in and the buy it now was gone. The seller and the friend of the seller was so not knowledgeable of what they had so I explained it all to him. I'm not on crack but I should have my head examined since I was the one with the 4 NOS 4x4 caps pondering if I bought them if a set of 4 K20 caps would maybe do $600 to $800. I never dreamed someone would be that high on a C20 set. Good for you. I take it you're not changing from 2WD to 4WD + don't want to trade me NOS rears for the NOS fronts? ha ha
What a week. Mark

**70cst** · 01-29-2011, 09:49 PM

Now I know who to sell my NOS GM CB Radio.

Congrats...I am glad one from this board purchased these.

I hope your neighbors dogs don't come over and %%%% on them.

I would be real unhappy.

Scott,
Wow, I'd really like to get together and talk. Hopefully you can make the central meet next year (if Rene is hosting that again).

Mark,
Thanks. Yeah, I didn't hit the BIN either. Instead, I bidded, asked a question then did a little research. The seller didn't know if the caps were 1/2 or 3/4. By the time I found out that they were the size I needed, the BIN was gone. I never imagined they would get that high either. Live and learn. For what it's worth, I am ALWAYS on eBay. So, if I see a cherry pair of two or set of four I'll let you know first.
Richard
