Love this style but they don't fit any of my current cars. I see Rikens and other old JDM stuff in nice (or even not so nice) shape going for stupid money on eBay these days, these look like a solid deal and figured someone here might want them: https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/1166852860458226/
I'd put those on my jag in a hot minute.
That's a steal

Yeah, if they look anywhere near as good in person as they do in the pictures, I definitely agree. I looked into bolt pattern adapters to switch them from 5x4.75 to 5x4.5, but starting with a -10 offset, there's no way I could fit them under my fenders. Somebody here must need them, though.
Can anyone in WI grab these for me for a grm relay? I need them, I don't have FB, and am near Cleveland

According to the map they're technically in WI but really it looks like a suburb of the twin cities. So anyone in the twin cities area might be able to help.
so really berkeleying far away from me. i have a use for them for sure, and have been looking for 5x4.75 gold mesh deep dish wheels for some time.
Greyhound and Fastenal ship bulk stuff on the cheap. They are pretty and very cheap...
I'm an hour and a half away from the seller, so I could possibly enable, I mean, help. Patrick, if you can set up a relay to you from the Chicago area, I could get them there when I drop off parts for this other relay I'm already doing, if Appleseed is willing to help.
There is enough chicago between cooter and robbie that they can work their way to me.
if you're up for it and want to try to purchase them i can send some extra your way for gas. I can paypal or any other number of ways you back or even prior to once you confirm to pick them up. I don't have FB so I can't even message the seller.
I appreciate any help/enabling and i am certain if they find their way to chicago we can get them here or at least closer.
if you want to get a hold of me directly feel free to forum message me and i can send you back my number.
Okay, well, I shot the seller a message, we'll see what happens.
Thank you
If they get/got back to you i am leaving this evening for 5 days in the woods so my connection to the outside world will be spotty at best
In reply to Patrick (Forum Supporter) :
I'll send you an e-mail.
In reply to obsolete :
Didn't get anything, sent you a message.
I didn't get anything either, which is odd, because PMs are usually pretty reliable for me. So, apologies to everyone else for using the forum in place of PMs.
I got in touch with the seller and am setting up a time on Saturday to go up and buy the wheels. Going to hit the junkyard on the way back. Perfect Saturday.
Not Mine, Now Associated. The wheels were exactly as advertised and are in my possession, should hopefully be enroute to Patrick in the next few weeks.
The gold paint is a little worn, it looks better in pictures than in person. The centers could use a good scrub and another coat of gold. The lips are in good shape, a couple small dings but no real rash to speak of. They should only need a very gentle polish to really shine again.
A little elbow grease and some spray paint and I think this will look like an $800 set of wheels.
