Cool Strosek Wheels

Just got fresh tires & wheels on my 87. Strosek 17's & RE 730's. Car drives & handles much better. Looks and performs much better than the x wife after 14 yrs.

I wonder were Strosek got the idea for those rims? Early 928 & 944 phone dials? Carlos thay are very fitting to use on the 928.

The car looks great! an upgrade worth every dollar.... bet you won't see those wheels on any local 928's....as you know I used that same rubber with a ATP wheel but have yet to "hear'em sing" since I am currently running on flatbed power.... tell me how do yours sound when you dump it at 3200rpm's???

It was bull**** is what it was. A 'moderator' took it upon themselves to get into a flame war with Carlos. Carlos specificly told him to leave him alone or that he was going to hurt his feelings. The moderator decided to keep it up, and then Carlos delivered a 'heart punch'. He was then banned, and the moderator was then praised by the peanut gallery.

The OT forum has been lame ever since.

Well, rules are rules..........even if we don't like them. This forum is more pleasant when folks conduct themselves with decorum. We live in a crowded world. Taking on the "cops" may be a "liberating" experience, but it rarely has a positive outcome.

I have seen some instances recently, where someone who got themselves banned for boorish behavior, managed to get un-banned with a simple apology. Sounds like you think carlos had some value to add here, maybe you can get him to make the mea culpa and we can all move on......

Your contribution certainly has been positive from all I have read, so I trust your judgement on it.

Gretch,

Thanks for the compliment. I am in no way trying to advocate for Carlos. I just believe a moderator instigated the flame war and then Carlos went over the top.

I'm not saying what he did was right, nor am I saying he should not have been banned. I'm simply saying it takes 2 to Tango, and a moderator played a part in that dance.
