Hello Mark,

I went nuts over a previous pair of NOS Wolber Super Champion rims, which were mixte. I eventually acquired them after auction. The EBAY auction name was "Awakening Sports" in Australia. It turned out that she had a lot of these rims when she bought a large stock of them from a man who closed his shop years ago. I paid about less than thirty dollars for them. She packed them miserablely, which really upset me. I complained via email. Another lady said that she would refund my money upon returning them. However, I thought it would be best if I could see them here in the states. This was after presenting to the CR LIST and discovering that these rims were not the most ideal and safe rim and the actual tire for these rims is not made anymore. I sold them to a shop owner in Olympia, WA for what I paid for them. I learned something.

Best Regards, Kim Hetzel Yelm, WA.
