    Pat, Wheels look great on that car,do you by chance still have the wheels (style 10) that were on "Big Red' when you aquired the car ? I have those exact wheels and could use 2, but may be willing to buy set if price is right.
    Thanx, Mike

    Pat,
    You are an intriguing guy because of some of the cars you have built. A pet peeve of mine however is seller's that don't represent their products for what they are.
    Just faded/cracked you say?....You guys be the judge.....caveat emptor...

    ...he sent me the pics, I had to post them to show the wheels for what they are. It irks me to no end that Pat would represent these wheels this way. The BMW enthusiast community is a close knit group and there aren't a lot of secrets. I have been stung by purchasing BMW wheels on e-bay in the past that were falsely represented. Generally pictures don't show all the imperfections so if the pics are bad you can hazard a safe guess of what the wheels actually look like. I wanted to spare others this misfortunate. The point is all of this is needless. There is a buyer for wheels of every condition. Nobody is fooling anybody. At the end of the day, you don't get any more money out of wheels by saying they are in better condition than they are...because if you sell the wrong wheels to the right guy you may end up wearing them :-) You only lose future customers as your reputation is everything.

    id say theyd be worth the $900 if they had been refinished and smoothed out. esp since the tires are almost new, altho that could be easily bluffed as well. but in that cond, no sir
