ive never owned a set of VP wheels in 10 years, but if they made those in 1.9 i would break that record. also VP media blasts all there products to hide the machine marks for a uniform finish. hince the textured/dull finish on everything. | |

I personally like the finish of the gray set I have. I'm an older guy and the finish is spot on if you were ever fortunate enough to have seen a brand new set of Halibrand magnesium wheels  .Bob | |

The 1.55 5 slot wheels from RPP have a wicked bead blasted finish...just like the originals used to have. https://www.rpphobby.com/product_p/gea1006.htm A set of black or chrome scale lugs and this wheels looks the part. I was told you can also get a similar finish on polished wheels using oven cleaner and only keeping it on there for a short time and then washing it off.

I picked up and still have my Halibrand Torque Thrust D's in 16x10 6 lug from a AA gasser from Rods West in 1997 for $650. Even if you double that $$ your to far off for me to sell them. I'll snap a pic tonight for some wheel porn. | |

wow, some of you guys are around my age. I thought I'd be older than most on this forum. I'm 41 now. I plan on sticking around 'till I'm dead. This hobby I can afford

seriously haha i feel like "the young'un" no offense...  but yeah this is a mature forum for sure (not like that, you sickos). i like it here, i think i'll stay a while too. one of my favorite magnesiums, though not scale, and not offroad-ish...  okay while not actual magnesium, you CAN get them in 1/10 scale...  and i probably will nab a set or two for my drift car builds... perfect for AE86!
