I think it is bensitto's business whether it will sell or not and don't bash it if you don't like the price...just becuz you don't value them as high as bensitto doesn't mean that it won't sell...those rims are extremely rare items these days and the demand for them is still strong...good luck!

no one is bashing "it" as you stated. And if it is Bensitto's business whether it will sell or not, why are you putting your 2 B.S. cents in? You are the loud mouth that wanted to start crap with me the last time, and when you found out that I was gonna show up at the meet, you didn't bother showing up. Say what you want to on your next post...LOL....all the members i talked to at the last meet told me the same crap about you.....even someone that we BOTH know.

Bensitto. Those 2/5's are very nice rims. Actually, very very nice rims, however, at $3700 you probably won't sell them.

woohoo..fat al is taking it personal again..being a whining ***** again huh? lol

As for showing up, it is more like your sorry *** doesn't dare to show up when i am there...I don't think your presence is significant enough to change my decison of showing up or not ...

It is a fact that you are the one that go around every thread and bash ppl left and right..just look at how many crap you post....from complaining your own cheap *** kit to bashing every sale or whatever thread you don't like...Maybe you should keep your fat *** and stinking mouth shut for once and give some peace for the forum...

And damn right i will say whatever I want whenever i want and no need to give a crap of what you think.. ..go ahead and continue whinining since thats what you are best at...

i second that....clkal is probably jealous that you got those nice rims that he really wanted but he's too cheap to buy them brand new so he wants you to lower the price for him...good strategy AL!

hey al: why don't you just go get some replicas? i heard you love them....lmao..

FYI.... This was the price as TR was liquidating all the left-over Carlsson products after they stopped selling the line. These prices were FAR below retial and have hurt the Carlsson market.

However, stating that he will NOT get offers is not fair. The price he is offering is less then a new set costs NOW. It is not important what you could buy them at a year ago when on liquidation, only what you can buy them for today. That is the only fair comparison.

Thanks

This is true. Carlsson's are great rims! BUT TR jacked it all up for the market and have pretty much set a standard in pricing for these wheels. I, myself, sold an identical set of 2/5 brilliants after TR liquidated it and I could only get 1700 for them w/o one tire.

I believe Zeal55 sold his MINT set for 2000!?!? Sucks as these wheels were damn bank before TR jacked everything up.

I guess its safer to just say that you may not be able to get what you think your set of 2/5's are worth... due to the fact that everyone has been spoiled by TR and those of us who have sold our sets for dirt cheap. Nevertheless, those rims are pimp!
