Think you can call it a promotion. Boss now has me as the Wheel Manager for his wheel business NewWheel.com. I now am in charge of purchasing wheels (stock wheels, not aftermarket) for inventory for the Wheels America locations thru out the United States, maintaining the customer and wholesale accounts as well as managing the race team. He figures since the cars won't be back to Texas any time soon, I won't have much to do when I get back from a race.

So if any of you guys are looking for a replacement stock wheel, let me know!

Are these all new or used?

I need two rear 18x9.5 BMW E39 M5 wheels if you got 'em They don't need to have factory finish.

I actually prefer a LOT of stock wheels over what is out there for the aftermarket. Can you swing us a GRM discount?

Also, Congrats! Didn't you just get this job somewhat recently?

I can email you when I get back from Watkins Glen. I believe we have them. I know the finish is hard to get right, so I will see if we have any. They are typically used that have been refurbished, though we do have some new.

A "promotion" you say? Amazing! My dad told me about those things. You should donate it to a museum when you're done with it

Used and refurb is perfect. Mine, like so many others, are now silver. Thanks!

I can vouch for Wheels America. I used them all the time when I worked at Firestone in Austin and also the performance shop I worked at in Austin. They always made the wheels look perfect and if they couldn't, they would find replacements if possible and call you and let you know the price. Always great to deal with and VERY affordable.
