This auction was one of those freak ebay things or two BJ auction goers wanted
them. I'd like to have a set or two of the 15 in. ones.
Actually the 15 in. ones are not all that rare. I have watched three sets go
on ebay in the last year. I am looking for a set of narrow ones for my Series
one Seven. STill haven't found them yet. If anyone knows of any, I would
really appreciate the lead.
