F**K STARWARS!!!!!!

I cant believe i just paid $9 to suck off george lucas. "Roger Roger! Weve been programmed to sound like goofy ***********!!" ugh.

The rims are made by Panasport. Konig Rewinds look dissimilar in that the spokes are little tubes, and are straight.


^^ Rewinds

Honestly?

I own an MGB, and MGB's have the same bolt pattern. My family's friends own a classic british car parts store, and for a birthday present my Dad went in halves on a set he had our friend source for me. The rim series was discontinued and someplace had an overstock so we got a deal on them. I guess the deal cost $800, cuz i saved up $400 for my half. dont know what they would cost normally.

Imagine my elation when i found out my 240 was the same bolt pattern as the B! I had to grind down some of the front calipers to get them to fit though.

They are indeed sold in america. Theyre based out of California... its just the owner barely speaks english so its difficult to communicate with them directly. Ive seen very few dealers that are able to source them. There used to be a website maintained by an SCCA racer who used to sell them but the site has been gone for a long time. You need to find a shop that deals in legitimate racing supplies, not import junky ricer shops.

edit: ps. i hate the new starwars movies with a burning intensity of a thousand suns.

Im glad you like being raped in the ***.

just kidding of course.. i wouldnt honestly take it that far. I used to be a gigantic starwars geek, I've got about $900 worth of vintage starwars toys tucked away in my attic with some of my nicer smaller rare things on display. The old Starwars changed the face of movies forever and had a strangely profound impact on me in my adolescence. Lucas is trying to do that again by using CG out the *** (Did you hear he wanted to use CG MAIN CHARACTERS?!!). He seems to have lost touch with his old creative methodology and is just interested (either interested or is being forced to) in making a movie that will make most of its profit off of the current little kid scene. Vintage starwars will always be more impressive to me. I'd probably adore the new movies had they actually used SETS and MODELS. That would have been so amazing. It would give the entire movie the realistic feel it was lacking, and would have also limited their ability to **** up the film otherwise.

That wouldnt have stopped Obi-Wan from yelling "I LOVED YOU!!" to anikin tho. I laughed out LOUD when i heard that. Hayden isnt that good of an actor either. I laughed at a lot of his scenes too. The story telling was O.K. though.

If you like the new ones, then thats good, im not gonna try to change your mind.
