couple of ebay suggestions

If you want them, try and line up your ducks first.

Ask the seller the questions you'd need to do an German ebay deal, like do you speak English, how much will it cost to ship them, or insure them, either airmail or land mail, is www.xe.com acceptable for determining the exhange rate in Euros, and agree on method of payment, ie, bank transfer, paypal, or cash sent at your risk, what ever works for both of you, and be sure the wheels are factory ones, and without curb rash or rust.

Then you might want to consider joining www.esnipe.com or one of the automatic bidding services that puts in your highest bid in automatically during the last couple of seconds, so you can really win it, even if the auction ends at 3am your time or when you won't be there

I've bought lots of stuff (small stuff) from German (English, too) ebayers and it always worked well. I'd be a little scared to buy a whole car though.

The Germans are especially thorough in packing. And very honest too. I like dealing with them

Once everything is ready to go, then bid to WIN! But bid ONLY the highest amount you're willing to pay. Other people are interested in these wheels too, and you don't know how much.

They have a service for that? I coded a program that did the exact same thing last year, it dosen't work anymore since ebay redesigned their pages, but should be easy to fix...

I believe original wheels had the size marked on the inside (not along the exterior edge like these). Still, they're 15" bundts. But you could spend twice as much as the auction on shipping from Germany.

And remember...that's in Euro's. Last I heard the conversion rate was somewhere around $2 for every 1 Euro.

the latest bid is 152 euro... 202$ USD.. shipping would probably be that as well if you could win them at 160 E



But remember
