I can certainly understand... I have the purple cars because they're rare, and I get mixed remarks about them, too. Some people love them, some people hate them. It's all about what you like, though.

Although... being the collector that I am, I would most certainly consider buying them... but I would buy them, seal them up, and stash them away somewhere for about 15-20 years and then sell them.

Salad Shooter Wheels For Ws6 Cars Ok people here are the facts. The salad shooters were only made in 2000 as an option for the WS6 cars, they are very rare due to the fact they only made around 200 sets, The reason they stopped production is because they are directional wheels, if you look at the driverside wheels they flow the same way as the passenger side wheels, hence the reason they stopped production. Pretty much they are backwards in direction on the drivers side.. "THEY FORGOT TO MAKE REVERSE DIRECTION WHEELS FOR THE DRIVERSIDE." Now you have the story and i still like them for the fact that they are rare..

Umm...It's not because of the directional thing they stopped making them. LOTS of directional factory wheels are only made for one side. They are opposite on the other side. Ever look at Camaro salad shooters? How about any of the Grand Am/Grand Prix directional wheels? That's just the GM stuff I can think of off the top of my head. Even most aftermarket wheel makers don't make right and left side directional wheels unless you spend big bucks for high end billet ones.
