Hi All,

First off sorry for the crosspost for those on multiple Lists.

I will be bring these to Van-O-Rama to ffer for sale before it goes on
Ebay. Used set. Some scratches from normal use except one of the
lugholes has heavy scrapes due to removal on wheel locks. They are
white with originally polished lips. I was going to have them all
powder coated silver.

Comes with 3 matching 50 series tires. The 4th one got damaged have a
5th tire in same size but different brand. Thread is still very good
but some cracking happened during storage.

You wil get four (4) wheels of which one has a slight dip on one edge.
You would not notice it until you inspect up close. Plus you will get
a 5th wheel which has been hit on a curb hard. It is not cracked and
is professionally rebuildable for $50-$100 depending on what you want
as a finish.

Anyway, after all that disclaimer, 5 wheels and tires. Asking $560.
Will consider other 15" and larger Vanagon or Porsche wheels in full
or partial trade. I will also trade for work on my cars or vans. Keep
in mind folks that these 16's and not the more common 15's. These were
used by AMG on Mercedes cars priced at $500+ per wheel. I've seen pics
of Projektzwo prepped T3's with these as well. The difference between
those wheels and these is the letters "AMG" they stamp by hand for the
AMG models.

Please, please. I can do w/o the screaming if you are thinking the
price is too high. I am quiet familiar with how much these usually
sell online. AMG and Vanagon fans compete for these on Ebay and drive
their prices over what other comparable sized alloy wheels. If you are
on a budget, these wheels are probably not for you. They are for those
who have to have the R9's on their ride.

I will be bringing other surplus from my alloy wheel stash. I have
three sets of Ronal R9's but these are best combo of width and offset
IMHO. If they don't sell next weekend, you will see them on my 88 Doka
next Van-O-Rama.

Please pmail me if you are interested. I will get the size and brand
names of the tires tomorrow.
