I'm looking for the ones with the gold sticker (not the green/yellow one). Super hard anodised and in very good condition.

So when a set turns up... How much are you prepared to pay for them? Is the price going to be silly as people know how rare they are?

NOS would be nice but I'd be happy with "good used" and I'd even take a whole wheel set if necessary.

You actually just missed a set that Nevada was selling off his Fisher. I would have gone for them but he got an offer he couldn't refuse. There is an eBay seller in the US who I know has a few sets Nos but he's not willing to let them go yet. Nos rm20s usually go for 60-90 a pair plus shipping but I would go more for these.

That's not too bad. Keep me in mind when your buyer decides to sell up. :wink:

Thought my luck was in a couple of weeks ago when I spotted this NOS RM20 being used to mount an Onza Aggro on eBay...

http://www.ebay.com/itm/ONZA-26-x-2-10- ... 650wt_1083

Turns out it's an old photo and the rim has long gone

Anyway I'm still loking and have almost considered buying these;
