    Default hard time finding new wheels, need input please

    I need two 17" x 8" and two 17" x 9" for the rear.
    I have looked on ebay and tirerack but they have only 1 staggerred set made by 1000 miglia. They are not really that hot to my taste, but there has to be more out there?!?!?!

    any suggestions??

    Shark,
    you gonna send me some pics of your rear wheels so I can buy 'em? That is if the backs are not the one(s) that has been repaired. Let me know!

    I have one front and one rear that are "fragile" I don't really want to sell that to someone else!
    If you want 1 17 x 8 and 1 17 x 9 as a spare no sweat! help me find a new set and they are yours!!!
    I was hoping for a hartge style or something!

    They're pretty heavy and some say easily bent. Mine never bent.

    Here's a pic of them on my old 535:



    Good luck,

    Default Could try the Wheel Collision Center ($$$)

    He ain't cheap (understatement), but he has an excellent reputation and all sorts of OE wheels.
    Not all are always in stock, so you need to check before falling in love.
