Default Need Help! Can anyone spare some 17" wheels for a bit?

a friend (fellow AW'er -- Jonny Bravo) bent two wheels + tires from driving his S4 from LA back to boston. he is stuck here in chicago, and really could use some help.

does anyone have any wheels + tires they can spare for some time? im sure he would be willing to compensate as well. i dont have any stock wheels anymore, thus i cant help him out.

if anyone is willing to help, please post here.

TIA

Default Victory Auto Wreckers is your friend.

710 E.Green St. Bensenville 630.860.2000 I needed some lugs once and they had them. IIRC they sell wheels as well; the cars get stripped and crunched, then they go to Japan and come back as T.V.'s and such.

Default I have your old set of Ronal R28s with ContiSport2s

They probably won't clear my brakes, so I'm willing to sell.

Default We keep playing email tag. He can use my winters. Just need....

to figure out how to get them from my northern home to his Roger's Park car. They are my Avus with my old M2's, not your nice ones in teh basement, so I don't care if they get trashed.

Default Well, maybe not. When I install the brakes, I have to test fit them.

If they fit, I'll keep 'em.

Default Not without spacers. Tim was crushed when he had to sell those. He really liked them. (m)

Are those the new rims on the car in the sig? Did you notice a handling difference?
