If > anybody wants a picture let me know OK, I want/need to see one...this wheel's off (what was) a local car, & I'd heard "optional" so many times when folks talked about it that I failed to look at the details in the pictures on ebay--missed the black plastic on the "ends" of the spokes completely because I'd assumed it was identical to the wheel I have, so was "seeing" the wheel I have. I SHOULD know better than that.... Associated question--is the bidding on this wheel an aberation to the *market* for 'em, or is it indicative of the market value of either (a) other, "like kind" aftermarket wheels or (b) the actual optional wood 66 wheel? thanks Dave
