The DeMag wheel has been around for some time time. What exactly did Vivid and Dan do that is so new and exciting?

I am not suggesting they are good or bad. They are light and this has it's advantages in unsprund weight. Like everthing else I'm sure it has it's disadvantages for street use.

My question was simple, what did Vivid add to the DeMag wheel? The hype, no matter where it comes from, just gets to me sometimes. Then again, maybe I'm just missing something? I'm simply asking a fair question with no axe to grind with anyone.

That is very nice. Why don't you simply come out and say it.

While you are at it, why don't you share the "extreme low price" with all the members. I know what I can buy them for and it would be very helpful if the "extreme low price" was known by all. If this price is really "new and exciting" I'm sure it must be way below anything else out there. Please post the invoice or bill so we can see. This way you can help other members by letting them know in advance that Vivid truly has a price substancially below all the other vendors (documented with some information) rather than a post look like a sales pitch . I would expect by your description to be able to by them 25% to 30% below anyone else's price. If this is true that would be great news.

Lol, that post sounds friendly. Maybe the price of the Dymag was extremely low compared to his local shops, which would not be difficult in Athens. Way to attack the guy...

This was not an attack. If you come to these forums and want to promote someone for doing something that is over and above ........ then you need to be prepared to offer some backup. Otherwise it doesn't look very good.

On the other hand, if you have a one and only price, it is better if you keep it to yourself since no one else can get it. In that case it makes the poster and the seller look bad and the members really don't appreciate it.
