Default Twists fs on Samba in N.C.

Just saw this ad .. might be a good deal for someone around the North Carolina area who wants the painted center look or a set of track wheels/tires. No affiliation, etc., (doesn't say if they're hollows .. never know)

Oh .. yes, you're right. I took another look, now I see the indentations and 'ribs' on the back of the spokes .. but like you say, for the right price ...

I don't have any experience with those BFG G-force tires, does anybody have experience with them? They kinda look like Yoki Advans ...

Huboy. There's just NO rest for the wicked around here ...

Ok, no, I'm selling a collection of 356 parts. Old stuff I collected when I was restoring a pre-A Speedster back in the early 90's that I've been dragging around in boxes since. Sold the car in 2000 so .... Anyway, I'm trolling eBay, Samba, 356 Registry etc., etc., to A. get some idea of value for this crap and B. figure out what the market is actually buying .. So, here's the funny part of the story. The stuff I thought was just junk .. is worth a LOT of money Now, all I have to do is sell it .. THEN I can go look for a pretty, shiny ......

I have these tires on my solid spoke twists..Really nice tire for the street..Once
warm, they're really grippy.. However, now that they're getting low in tread;
they're LOUD!! Really loud. Replacing them with some Hankook Ventus V12s in the
spring.
