For $2500 you can buy some real nice aftermarket wheels and the best tires money can buy, mounted, balance, with a brake and grease job while it's on the rack....
Sorry, AMCs aren't bringing 250k++++ like LS Swapped classic Vette's were at Meeee-Cum.
Funny how so many LS Swapped "customs" were bringing more chow than a SS AMX will ever dream of.

The only person that is worse than that seller is someone that would buy any of that stuff at those prices. Pure stupidity.

I bought brand new repops for $72 each and felt butt raped. But yeah, they have the wrong shade of blue on the medallion, and all the "experts" make sure to tell me. If someone actually made the correct color reproduction medallion, I don't believe we'd be seeing these ridiculous prices for originals.

I can see this for a 500k-3mil Car. But what Machine has brought that kind of money? Cuda's do.
Like Herb M<Candless's kid had 4 plain steel wheels, date code correct for a 70 Hemi Cuda. He wanted 5k for the wheels and 300 guys were giving him shit. He explained, "the guy buying these is building a 750k+++ Car." Yeah, I can see that. Cause the wrong wheels can knock 50k-100k off the value of a car like that, but complete Machines sell inbetween that. So I'd be damned to have 10k in a set of correct machine wheels, centers, rings etc for a 80k piece of shit. In the rich Man's world, that's a winter beater.

and people are such dicks. Joe's Car is gorgeous and they have the nerve to pick out the Color on the Center Cap insert. oooo wow, they're so cool. and this is why i have problems with gAyMCers and Motards. and that's another reason I don't go these brand specific meets. I'm no bad ass by any stretch, but I am fucking stupid, and certain things set me off like a flick of a switch. and I don't need my ass kicked, or jail, from me punching someone square in the fucking mouth.

Hey Joe.... I meant to tell you.... your Machine wheel, centers have the wrong color emblems in them.... LOL, thanks alot! I run the repops pretty much all the time, given the STOOPID prices of originals. I did install my decent set of original caps for the MCACN show in Chicago last November though. Better off having correct colors at that show! Screenshot_2021-12-14-14-00-42 by Joe Pinsoneault, on Flickr

I like the R4B but I would only pay about $200.00 for that one. All his stuff is high dollar to me but I am a cheapass.

It'll never be a 500k car if you don't have the correct color caps.

There are players and there are watchers. I’m a watcher. Big $$$ is not my game.
