Default Are Dronell's a Sign of the Times?

I can't find the CA-05's anywhere and I want a set like you can't believe.!!

It pisses me off that resellers such as dirtcheapwheelscom, wheelmax.com and many other leave them on their sites just to tell you on the phone that they are out of stock.

If you guys have any ideas on where I can get a set of 20's (besides Japan) please let me know.

Thanks much!

I'm curious to know how many people would have actually bought those wheels if they were $2500 a set...

pvmike1 - Thanks for the auction idea. It actually scares me to drop $1200 on a set of wheels from some dude on an auction. I spoke to the dude selling them and he was kind of a freak and it makes me nervous.

I wish I could find a set of these from a wheel shop or something!!

I believe Dronell went out of business, someone more in tune with the scene can say for sure; but I think I heard that a little while back.

How much were you selling them for before the big blowout sale?

i also can't believe how many people want these. they're nice, but nothing that special. i'm not knocking on anyone, but thought they were plain and for people wanting less attention than other 20"s

Default Yes...

With the economy in the crapper...Dronell going out of business...is indeed a sign of the times.
