Re: XT Wheel Stamp
Looks pretty deep for an XT stamp.

Re: XT Wheel Stamp
You racers all think alike, Pete...worried about a set of XT's being straight...no one can tell a bent XT from a straight XT sitting still! LOL!!

Re: XT Wheel Stamp
Got them from someone professing to sell "original" XTs. Imagine my disappointment about 20 seconds after opening the box.
What you can't see in the pics is that the metal where the stamps are is lower than on either surrounding side. It is concave. Also check out the far end of the X's they have a small circle like as if a scribe/punch or drill bit was used to help line the X up. The stamps are deeper than any I have ever seen. Also, never seen a double stamped XT, much less two with a similar mistake back to back. Could happen I guess? The grinding marks just crack me up, at this point. The for sale pics were not quite as detailed and these issues were not apparent. Does anyone consider these to be factory originals based on experience? It never ceases to amaze me the extent some people will go to pull one over on someone. No kiss...right to screwdriver.

Re: XT Wheel Stamp
That really sucks...what the hell is this world coming to...when crap like this happens. I must be too trusting of a person, I guess...
