All I can say is these are sweet. Now this Datsun Roadster "looks" like it has disc brakes all around and drilled ones too.

We put some of those spinner ones on a company forklift 2 jobs ago, the spanish guys would fight over who got to drive it all day on a regular basis.

On a recent Mythbusters, Adam's Segway had a set of those 'salami slicers' on it.

Those two statements signal to me that the poster is a HUGE (and terrible) liar! Yeah, the guy pours money into the car over a decade, rebuilding the motor, repairing major body issues and then decides to sell cuz honey wants a new Sentra? And uh, seriously how many folks today can really not figure out how to do an eBay listing?? Yes I know there are folks like that out there but those folks also couldn't handle doing that much work on a car (and the endless searching for parts/services that it entails).

Maybe it's just me though......
