They are very very rare. dont no much about the history, but made many many years back, limited number, and made out of magnesium- amazed at how light they are. and others say, "the original Schmidt th Lines"
i believe this set was made in a special edition batch 2years ago.
Since then, wheels have never been mounted and stored away in Belgium while the owner lived in Canada, so overall pretty much brand new.

Why not use a courier?
Why do you have the sat nav mounted on the passenger side? Noticed OJC has done that before too?

As said before: Suprisingly alot more expensive + not fun at all.
and the major thing, was sending money out to someone that didnt even have the wheels themselves. too much of a risk at the time.
wernt actually too far over seas. 30mins into Belguim from Calais. the ball ache of the jouney was the 4.5hr trip to Dover.
And Sat nav: placed their for passenger to follow/change.

With paying a good amount of money for wheels as exclusive as these you wouldn't want them being damaged in transit. With the trip we had a good laugh, a day out away from work and safe in the knowlage that the wheels got to Luke's with no damage
