Der Steiner Rads

These are the infamous Steiner Rads. Don't they look oldschool, and yet they are as modern as they get. Timeless. These are actually one of the prototypes of the Empi Rader wheels that didn't make it into production. They were dug up by Dave Deal some years ago and a picture was taken for the now defunct VW Trends. Shortly after the publication some geezers from Germany had copied the wheels, and made a short production run of only 50 sets. To bad they didn't consult Mr. Deal himself, as he and some Norvegian were busy redesigning the wheels themselves.
But even though the wheels are a bit tainted, they still look the dogs bollocks. And I'm sure they would fit right under Aku. Too bad they are so darn expensive. But it's either those or a set of genuine Mahles, so I'm broke either way.
