Just google Midwest shades. They have a website. I've seen them a couple times at mustang week and they seemed pretty solid so I bought a couple pairs. Good bang for the buck.

When I was at the store they said the X-Metal series is dead, and they'll be rolling out some aluminum and carbon fiber frames later this year to replace them. I think they still have them online, and you can still get parts for them too. I ordered a rebuild kit for my X Squared's for the earsocks and nose pieces.

Well that kinda sucks. I never got around to buying the Carbon/Black Iridium Juliets that I wanted. But that would explain the currently very limited offerings online. That $3,500 set sure looks nice though. I can't wait to see what's replacing the series...

That is correct guys... Xmetals are discontinued for a while. They'll come back tho... I have my Ducati Juliet's with red iridium, infinite hero Juliet's, then xsquared with fire and jade iridium... Maybe I'll post a pic. I also have to post a pic of my lanyards lol.... You guys will laugh at how many I have. I wear the ones matching my work outfit that day... Along with the pair of oaks to rock that day

Ok here's some of them

Yeah...you're addicted to Oakley. Nice choices though! I'll snag a pic of mine if I can find them all.

I looked at one of their Minute Machines, but for the cost, I picked up a nicer watch. Trying to save up for a Tag Heuer Carrera Chrono now...

I miss the days when I worked at a sporting goods store and got 25% off them all the time, and once a year we got 50% off one set. I got my Crosshairs for $16.

Square wires rock. Did you know that Oakley will fix or repair any frame damage? You just pay for shipping and a very small fee.

I've done it before... Oakley customer service rocks...

Steve that is a HELL of a deal.

Btw, I think I need to start a new thread called "post your Oakley pics"..... I would DEFINITELY partake in that... Could be daily even, depending on what I wear that day
