wanted a set of cragar S/S mags for my ute

so i rang up the "official" importers superformance for a price, $285 each trade, plus shipping

went my local mag retailer, he could source them for about $270 each, retail

so i rang superformance, told them that i could buy them retail for less than their wholesale ( i work in a tyre shop ) and was told " go ahead then, mate" in a very sarcastic manner

a bit of digging revealed AMERICAN REPUBLIC WHEELS, who could supply them for $185+gst+freight, $860 for the set, with new wheel studs and centre caps (at this stage, i had told them i worked for a tyre shop, but hadn't given them an ABN or works order, so i think anyone could negociate that price )

guess who got my pesos ???
