It was only a matter of time considering the market for Gas-Burners. Maybe some of you guys already know about it.

Gee, only $1500 not including shipping from the UK, taxes, and duties. Such a bargain. What are real gasburners going for these days? Something like $2K a set, I thought. These copies very probably are not forged superlight items, either.

Mahle "gasburners" aren't forged either. You would think though, that for that kind of $$$ they should be. |

It's not their fault that the current administration has devalued the dollar to where it is.
Looks like you can get it in stock finish as well: (IMG:http://www.javaglobalenterprises.com/website3.jpg) What I don't understand is why they are only making 15x5.5. 15x6 or 15x7 in the 911R offset would be awesome for us. |

Looks like most of "their" designs were ripped off not from Empi, but from American Racing Wheels from the 50's-60's; they even stole the "Torque-thrust" name from them! Rader wheels are a different story; I can't imagine anyone wanting to steal those ugly damn things!
