Nono, Larry, he's talking about the OTHER rims/tires - the ones on the
8440/8445/8520.
Dave,
Those rims/tires aren't available in a cheap set in white anymore. They are in grey
on 8445 ($40), and dark grey on 8520 ($20).
If you MUST have white rims for the tires, and you get any other color rims for
those tires, I have 4 white hubs here I will trade for other colors (I just don't
have tires for them).

| (...) Ah. OK. Yes. I was trying to remember if the RIS came with 4 of the tires I was referring to, and seeming to remember that it did, as the Acrobot uses 4, but I was just confusing myself.

| (...) Aren't those rims in 6589 Radical Racer in white and yellow in 2963 Extreme Racer? The tires do look different though. If no one knows for sure, I'll check at home tonight or tomorow (I have 8440, 6589, and 2963). Of course it may not be easy (...) (25 years ago, 31-Dec-99, to lugnet.market.buy-sell-trade)
