spokes are pretty good on this one. for $1,300.. guy just has too much $$. I have one with a crack, but spokes ARE nicer than this one. IMO the spokes make the wheel not.. whether or not the horn works. Once the satin finish is gone.. you can never duplicate it. I've seen the "restored"0 ones at carslile for 1200.. now way close to the original satin finish. This one is going so high because of the original finish on the spokes.. nothing else.

If u look close u can even see on one spoke.. the finish is beginning to bubble.. for $1300.. that's a big uh-oh.

  :iagree:

  I know rim-blows are rare and all, but my gosh, they are not made of gold.  :grinno: I don't think they look like something I would spend over a grand for. What is the appeal???  :dunno:

You'd think people would be used to these prices by now, haha.

I have always thought they belong in a taxi cab anyway... Give me a tuff wheel any old day.

I like my fake tuff better then a rimblow too (let the flames begin)    :villagers:

I had to splurge for a real tuff wheel, and I like it much better than the rimblow.

I used to like  :burnout: original rimblow.. they ARE very nice IMO. That's what I have on my car now.. and since I have manual steering.. the bigger the wheel the better  lol
