All,
I received a voicemail from my friend who's in contact with Italy & it looks like there is going to be a delay. Apparently there was a narrow window of opportunity (that I wasn't aware of....) and the next window won't open for another month when the guy is back.
There are 3 buyers lined up currently who have all asked that they keep their place in line, so one more spot is available (verbal commitment is all that's required).
Regarding getting these made with specific offsets / widths etc, it's just not possible. These sets will be produced using existing stock & I don't think there are any options. This is the reason that my set have the "original" etching & not the newer variant.
Thanks for all of the interest.

^^^^Brother Cactus. Assume they are no longer available and buy a set. Can you imagine Christmas morning with Speedlines under the tree? 
In reality, a few years ago these were "unobtainable" yet there always ends up being a few more sets becoming available now and again. I guess they'll stop the supply at some point but who knows when that is. I almost want to buy another set and hide them away for a day in the future when my REAL RS (ah, yeah) is being restored.

Nick, thanks for the call. I am sorry to learn there is a delay...but at least it gives me time to dream!
Keep my place in line, Nick. I am definitely in.

Six years ago or so when I joined, I remember many g50/21 gearboxes, big reds, sport seats, etc., for sale. The availability of these items has dropped off dramatically compared to today.
The same will happen with these wheels. I wish I could but my next big expense will be a g50/21 or 31 gearbox. I'm saving for it now and just can't let these wheels tempt me.
Someone please pick up that fourth set and take me out of my misery. I'll feel a lot better when they are not out there taunting me. (No affiliation, etc.).
