Found my dream wheels for my truck in Newcastle.
Im in north Carolina. 10 hours each way.
Do we have anyone local that could do an inspection and pickup?
And a real pipe dream, anyone coming south from or through Delaware that could get them closer to me by a few hours?

I can't deliver, but I can inspect, grab, and hold if you handle paying for them.
I'm located not far off of I-95 if someone swinging through is willing to pick them up.
What size wheels? Tires on them?
Will be passing through on business and could get them back to Richmond, VA, but they'd have to fit in an E46 sedan.
In reply to Duke :
You're the man! Waiting to hear back from him about payment. I gotta admit, i sound like a Nigerian prince....
I am not far from New Castle if Duke wants to grab them I need to get to Charlotte in the next month or so to get a transmission. May be able to bring these down your way.
In reply to Flynlow (FS) :
17x8, with truck size tires. I dont think they'd fit in an e46, but i may be surprised!
Duke: you mail
Paul: that would be absolutely perfect and I probably buy you dinner. This is assuming that we can get all the details worked out.

Got your email and replied. I'm less excited about that but I think we can make it work.
I knew this was going to be about wheels before I even opened the thread.
In reply to Duke :
Agreed that it is definitely less than optimal. Replied to your email.
Brett: at this point other than maintenance and repair of what I have, the only modifications I'm doing is bolting on different Wheels because they look cool. Got too many other irons in the fire

So no pictures of these porn star wheels or you afraid that we'll make fun of your taste in wheels again?
They look almost like what I had on the Terrible Truck.

They are the only other set of these ive ever seen.
Favorite billet wheels ive ever had, and have kept them for years trying to figure out how to make them fit something I've owned....![](https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/prod.mm.com/uploads/2021/05/26/1622052076_20210511_082909_mmthumb.jpg)

Some hand work with metal polish and these will look that good, at least from the outside. They've been in the weather a little bit but they are pretty darn nice for their age. No scratches or pitting at all on the faces.
In reply to Duke :
Perfect! They're going on the black truck after a good polish.
Cant wait tonleave work....
And thank you for facilitating this!
Paul: once duke has them, ill let you know for when you come south!
Sounds good keep me posted

If all else fails keep me in mind, the wife still drives up to NJ to see her family from time to time so I could have her grab them from Duke when she's up there. She just got back from a trip so its likely to be a couple months before she goes back, but its an option if needed.

This is me keeping you posted!
Do you have any idea when you're heading south? That way we can work out logistics for duke.

This makes me happy!!!
Thank you for being enabler of the year.
In reply to Duke :
Paul and i have email each other, and im awaiting a response. Seems like it will be 2-3 weeks before he comes south though. Just trying to figure out details with him.
