Ultra Wheels

Post by Bob Ingman »

As some of you may have noticed I am partial to Ultra Wheels. I have found a set for sale far too cheap.

Bob, How much were yours? I guess if you figure in the cost of the tires, $500 isnt bad.

Matt I paid $500 for new in box wheels after production when they were generally unavailable.
Then I paid that much again for tires. So I figure $500 for tires and wheels is a good deal IF you like the tires and wheels.
I recently saw an ad from the same guy that sold mine (Rick Mortenson of Phoenix Bug-O-Rama) sell two of them for $500 and they were not evem matched. One was 3 1/2" and one was 7". Good to hear from you. Bob Ingman

I cant believe someone would pay $500 for 1 3.5" and 1 7" from Bug O Rama Rick. Its amazing how much they go for now. When you could get them new from McK they were under $100 each. I guess that $500 is a pretty good deal.

Merry Christmas!!!

Matt you`re right . When I first tried to get them they were $89 & $99 ea at Mc Kenzies. They stalled me with a back order line for awhile and finally said they would no nonger be available.
I did not like to pay $125 ea for them but it was one of those deals where I just had to have them. I did`nt want anything else that I knew about at the time. The Robby Gordon is the only wheel I like more now. Supply and demand I guess. In retrospect, I`m glad I bought them when I did even though the price was above new. At least I have them and plan to always have them on this car. Best of luck to you. Bob Ingman

Mike I just checked . The ad has been pulled so I assume the wheels were sold. Too bad they were nice. Good to see you over here. Best of luck. Bob Ingman
