Default Ebay auction win... follow up...

I just received the brand new Torq Thrust II rim that I bought on Ebay...
The item was advertised wrong and I was able to get the brand new rim for $56!!!! :eek: :eek: Those rims are usually $190 each...
The item was really as promised... brand new!!! AWSOME RIM!!! The second one (which I bought for $100) should arrive today or tomorrow).
I also weighted the TT2 and it only has 17 lbs - that's 8 lbs less than my Cragar SS's...

:cheers:

Olivier

Congrats! I love ebay sellers who either can't spell or put their items in the wrong catagories. Makes it a lot easier to get deals if you put a little effort into sniffing them out. I just bought a lot of Playstation 2 games for my son & got a helluva deal because the guy spelled it "playstaion" in the auction title so it didn't show up on searches.

The rim was advertised as AR 505......the American Racing internal number for the Torq Thrust II....

At the track on Saturday, there was a young guy with a white 77 with the Centerlines, looked great. He also blew away most of the C5's. :cheers:
