These are the flat finish BRM's that look more like the originals. 15x5. These are the best BRM replicas made. And I have 5 of them. I put these on my oval, the new owner wanted smoothies. 1 is brand new, never mounted. The other 4 have less than a couple hundred miles on them. Seriously nice. I curbed one dodging a bum downtown, so I bought a new one, just never changed the tire over

Speaking of tires, brand new matching 135's and 165's. again, less than a couple hundred miles. I didnt really drive this car that much, and always super short distances, River Oaks to downtown. Down the street to the bar. I went to the Clear Lake show, I think thats definitely the furthest

Mounted and Balanced at discount tire

These are ready to mount and drive. On the subject of mounting, I have all the studs and lug nuts you will need. On a couple studs I shaved off the inside. 5 of them to be exact. Then bo and doug told me I could just back off the other ones without shaving them down. So you might want to buy 5 studs

All 5 wheels have brand new valve stems, and 5 sweet center caps.

rims are going for about $100 each - $500
135's are about $100 each -$200
165's are about $70 each - $140
center caps $25 each $125
stud and lug kits $15 each $45 cause you will need to buy 1 set of studs

Add that up and damn there's $1000 bucks into these things. Plus I paid for mounting and balancing

What should I ask? Sure you can buy just 4 online, pay for shipping, wait for CIP1 to get some back in stock, try to find tires, run around all day finding the right lug nuts, get everything mounted and balanced...

Or you can show up at my house with $600 and 20 stock early bug lug nuts (lugbolts I suppose is more correct), and you can be rolling tonight. Discount for my friends. I'll provide the floor jack and lug wrench so you can do it now. But you're doing all the work, It's hot, I'll drink a beer and kick it with you though. I'll even supply you with a Kona longboard beer or two. But no getting drunk and hurting yourself. I have to put the smoothies back on once you bring me the lug nuts. If you dont have the stock lugnuts, that fine, I ordered some but you are going to have to wait for my mailman just like I am. Bastard.

I had a change of heart (yes I do have one)

I ruined at least 5 of the studs taking them out. I know now that mercedes benz and bmw's use the same setup, with actual lug bolts. Discount tire showed me some that look like they will work.

On that note, $525 cash, and I can deliver for some gas monies. and I'll give you the crappy studs and nuts. and I no longer need stock lug bolts

get@me

Oh, lol. Damn smart phone! I guess gold luck is better than good luck though, so in this case I guess it worked out, lol

good is ok, gold is better lol

some fresh pics now that the rims are off the car. Note the damage on the one wheel, and again, the 5th wheel with no tire is brand new, fresh out of the box, never swaped the tire over. all the tires are so new that they still have the coloring in the tread
