Quick question: Why pay for them before you pick them up? What happens if you go there and they aren't as described?

I didn’t impulse buy any, mostly because I never found any at all to buy, but I did spent a couple of months looking online around the world for a set of the JDM dealer optional Ralliart wheels my Pajero was originally equipped with. The spare was the only one left on the truck.

I meant a holding deposit. He sells lots of wheels (very good person to buy from) & sent lots of detailed pictures. I’ve talked to him at C&C before, cool guy.

No, but I bought discontinued slotted mags from the 1960s.

And now I can’t even sell them.

I be lying say that deposit was not a large chunk. They are wheels you’ll never see. There are rare wheels, these are next level rare.

Once equiped they will look great.

They definitely seem to be falling out of favor. I’ve never seen so many slot mags as I have at swap meets in the past couple years.

So you're saying he’s not a wheeler dealer?

It’s a shame because I love slots. These just happen to be too narrow for me (and anyone else, it would seem) to use. They’re 15x6. I’d need them to be 15x7 and 15x8 for what I want to use them for (The Chevelle)

I can barely contain my excitement.

That’s pretty narrow these days. I have 15x7 (rally wheels) on mine all around, I think when I need new rear tire s I want to go wider which will necessitate finding some 15x8s, the 235 section tires on a 7" wheel is about at the max I’d want to push it.

There’s a yellow Miata at a small dealership nearby to me that has Ronal Teddies!!

Aso if anyone is able to please pull me out of the greys , I would love it. I had a burner account but lost the password years ago and have just lurked every day since I had to post on this thread though.

Super excited to see these wheels!!

I impulse bought a set of 90s Volvo/BBS 2 piece wheels with the intent of eventually putting them on a 240.

Kinja'd!!!

Then I impulse bought a 240.

Might I have a link to said Instagram. I probably shouldn’t but could definitely do some impulse wheel buying.
