What made you decide to collect gas masks?
LOL, its a long story, my website pretty much tells all. But, in a nut shell, I started cause I thought they looked cool

I would love to see the Teflon Mojaves on a VX. They were my second choice. I went with the Chambers because I think they look a little more industrial and futuristic. The Mojaves have a more classic look, which is very nice also. As for the rock crawlers, they just look like spare rims to me. But, if you go with the white, that will be interesting. The other thing is, comparing the AR rims to the Rock Crawlers, you are talking about serious price difference. I say, if you are willing to drop the cash, go with the ARs, but if you are on a budget, do up the RCs.
Gas masks are also cool and industrial looking. Pretty much goes with my whole theme. I plan to shoot a short "wasteland esque" movie with my VX and lots of gas mask action. Problem is, I just left my whole crew back in Chicago, so it is kinda difficult at the moment...

And trust me I have done everything to trace it. Placed two tracers on it, contacted the ups store down here and there and personally serached the UPS center down here where they both were shipped to.....Now I am awaiting on getting paid for my lost articles....So i have to find and send proof of price for the rim and stock tire at its highest price to guarantee most funds possible...
Moral of the story I have 3 brand new stock rims and tires, and winter is approaching and I need non-street tires. I was not in any way expecting to have to go out and buy rims and tires. But since I found rock crawlers so cheap, they are tempting me to stray away from buying used ones on ebay...So what I will hopefully do soon if I get enough money from UPS (depending on where I can find the retail prices of our rims and dueler tire) is buy a new set of winter rims/tires with the money from ups and selling my three other rims.....
Man, I just can't understand how UPS could loose a whole rim. No offense to any UPS fans out there, but this isn't the first time I have heard such horror stories. A buddy of mine bought a lift kit for his truck a couple years back. The box came all torn up with parts literally falling out on his front door step. The kit was missing all sorts of stuff. UPS has lost or mis-delivered a few boxes of mine also. Just last month I bought an expensive and slightly rare pair of sunglasses on eBay. UPS lost that box, now I have to keep searching. I really prefer USPS or FEDEX. Even DHL seems to do a better job sometimes!
