Yea, they must be gold or at least as soft as gold. I just bent the lip of one of my front rims the other day driving over some bump in the road. I will need to send out a set this winter for repair and refinishing.

I think this was early on during the bidding. This is usually a trick to find out where the reserve is set at. The bidders at war that took place during the last 30 minutes knew what they were doing. I watched this closely.

:eyerole I'd think for that kind of $$$$$ you would at least want them correct. I was watching closely but seemed to be too many problems!! ike

Seems like free market dynamics at work - the law of supply and demand with some strategy sprinkled in at the very end...

It is like what happens at some auctions. Two :crazy people wanting the same thing at the same time and let there emotions run away with them. That is when the seller gets lucky or maybe he makes his luck happen. ;squint:

Dymags are pretty much worth their weight in gold as they are very light. You should charge by the Oz for a Dymag . 7K is alot of money for wheels but where do you get another set if you want them? They are definatly worth about 1000 per wheel on a fire sale in the worst case senario. I have been offered darn near the price of a nice used corvette for a set of the rare ZR1 dymags I have on one of my cars. I still have them and will keep them along with the 3 sets on my other cars. I will also buy any Dymag I can get my hands on in the less than 1K per wheel price range, if I should be lucky to find them for that. If I needed one, I would pay even more, but for now I have enough.

The good news is that if Callaway parts are going up, then hopfully the cars will follow as they should. Just as an analogy, if a sort of rare marginal surface job restoration 69 camaro is worth 50K, what is a mega rare factory Callaway B2K with low miles in 100% perfect original condition going to be worth when its about 40 years old? If a nice original Callaway B2K is not worth at least 125K-200K around the year 2025, then there is something seriously wrong with people in the car hobby. With the heavy inflation we are going to get, the prices will probably be even higher than I am speculating as everything is going to get REAL expensive. A classic car, real estate and other things like that are the only protection your money will have from it.

The other good thing about a Callaway is the fact it would take an act of god to clone one.... Anyone that can decently restore a car can easily clone a big block camaro and a big block vette out of 327 car and sell it to you all documented original, but still a fake. There are more 1967 427/435 corvettes on the planet today than there ever were in 1967.

If you have a love for cars and some spare cash, buy as many factory B2K Callaways as you can get. Dymags too! Its probably better than any retirement plan you can ever put together and not as risky as the stock market.

Just my financial opinion. I wish I just had more space and more cash to buy more Callaways!

 

[kruzmisl]

Very well said! Your especially right that we have a HUGE advantage in that nobody can ever clone a Callaway!

Folks, I hear the real Callaway Dymags are now in the hands of the new owner and are as advertised :cool

Any subsequent auctions or sales involving these wheels you can bet, are fake! And should be reposted as such.

FWIW, the wheels are headed for a Callaway that was in need of a set, after a past owner removed (and sold???) the Dy's that came w/ the car when constructed :eek
