I meant to drop by VOR with a couple of wheels, one MB 15 x 6 1/2 [the original of the GW knock off.no tire. and 1 15 x 7 of a different MB pattern than the GW type with BFG 235 x75 almost unused. But I didn't figure on the many other things in my life.
If anyone's interested in either or both pmail me. I'm in the SF area, north bay specifically, and the wheels are reasonable [although one is BenT's and he really has first rights to it, he has 3 more just like it]

South San Francisco at Alta Loma park.This is an annual version of Van O
Rama.
          Technically we all just happen to meet there at the same time, as
we do not have permit. So no Burnouts or other stupid things. If you are
bringing parts to sell, keep them in your van.
          If you have any questions feel free to contact me.
