Nice. Glad to see that they're coming into the RL family .. these are fairly rare wheels, they were very expensive new and made exclusively for Gemballa when Euwe (sp?) was alive .. so not many sets sold or made at all. Also rare to see them in such nice condition, usually Euwe's signature has been polished off or damaged.

On another note .. I realize that eBay auction posts are controversial here because it exposes the goods to a bigger buyer pool, and I confess, if I'm bidding on something, I don't post it ... heh ... so I 'get' the logic. Both of these sets have been on eBay more than one round .. the RPM set had been put on twice, so at that point, I figure it's fair game.

Congrats to the new wheel owners! Keep them nice, and sell to your brothers!!

Sad?
Glad?
That I missed this opportunity.
Lovely wheels, but hard to justify buying another set.

Well said JPP. I have no doubt the good stuff will remain to circulate in the family as genetically we are all prone to remake/improve these cars in our own, often RL influenced, fashion.

Surprised no one has jumped on these yet. Kinesis, not Gemballa, but NB fitment and stepped lip. If I were employed, I'd be all over these.

I have a brand new set of these wheels. I have never seen another set anywhere
