    I have wanted a set of these since I was a wee little kid. The ET people tried to talk me out of polishing them because of the porosity of teh castings.

    I told them they were going on a hot rod, not some candy ***ed show car, and they finally agreed to polish em. I'm VERY happy with how they turned out. Kinda makes teh rest of teh car look like **** though....

    By the way, they said the wheels would take four to six weeks and cost X ammount. Sure enough, they showed up in a little less than five weeks and cost what they said. Can't ask for more than that.

    With today's casting technology, to have a manufacturer admit to porosity issues is not re***uring.:eek: Where are they made?

    Wheels look *****in though.:cool:
     
  4. Nice Jeff! When I sold those I ALWAYS had pretty good service. Nice wheels.
     
  5. probably because Scott is used to hearing from whiny-***-streetrod-*****ers that think billet perfection is cool!~? ***s they are!:D

    I've always been a fan of matched wheels, but that car might be able to pull off some 10 spoke fronts....

    Really? For the price, I would have expected damn nice wheels.
     
  29. I sold many sets of ET's and never had one I would call a bad casting.

    He likes going fast to much, when someone actually comes up with a set that hooks up, he'll probably get them...:rolleyes:
