[ROVERNET - UK] rostyle wheels

[James Dean]

What is this crazy obsession with re-inventing the wheel? I probably have 20
of these damned Rostyles, early and late, a few excellant, most need re
chroming, I would love to sell, quite reasonably.  I also have a stainless
trim ring that snaps on and hides theouter rim and most of the rust for$10
each. I now have a good photo of these. I also have photos of my Brigade red
2000TC with Magstars. One photo also shows the unique but usually missing
hook to hang the  pre-retractible seatbelt, between the doors.The Brigade
red is the original Dupont Lacquer formula I recently sent to Rudiger,which
is the correct color,unlike most others.Please tell me where to post them so
everyone can see them and I will.I may be contacted offline  at
jaguru at bellsouth.net. James Dean, Ft. Lauderdale.
