I must have a wheel or two with those specs for you somewhere in my garage. Give me sometime today and I will go back to you with what I found. I can even provide you with a picture.

Talk to you later !

Will be standing by....

Appreciate it,

Aloha Ray,

Look what I found. I have two 16 X 7.5 40mm offset in perfect, like new condition. Great for spare tire !

Looking for $ 50 each + shipping, center cap included. Please let me know.

Nice rim! I'd like to calculate shipping to Hawaii. What is your city and zip code?

Thanks,

Ray,

I have an idea, let's get a quote from both ends, I have UPS corporate rates available for you and think they can offer us a very good deal for shipping the wheel.

I am located in Rancho Palos Verdes, CA 90275

Please PM or e-mail me your address and I can get you a price delivered at your door.

Aloha Ernesto,

I live in Volcano Village, Hawaii, 96785. Will let you know what the estimate from here is. And while I'm thinking about it, what do you guess the dimensions and weight might be?

Thanks a lot,

Hi-Power,

What other eight hole wheels do you have lurking in a corner?

Have a great day,

Ray,

I'm dissapointed with my UPS service, they are asking for $62 for shipping the wheel to Hawaii. Yes I know that is Hawaii, but there has to be a cheaper way !

UPS was quoting me for weight ( 22 Lbs. ) I will give you the dimensions from the box I have them packed later.

Did you got a better rate already ?

Larry,

I have two 16 X 7.5 40mm offset ( one of those is what I am offering to our friend Ray ).

I think I have another two same model but with different offset and polished instead of painted. I am not sure if they came from a S class or a SL class. I will check the offset this afternoon and will let you know.

Larry,

The other two 8 Hole Wheels I was able to find are 16 X 7.5 51mm offset.

It will be nice to use them for the spare tire.

Anybody interested on them ?

Just wanted to check in with you...

I've been getting the same high quotes for shipping the rim to Hawaii, but am working on another method. As soon as I hear back whether or not this will pan out, I'll be back in touch with you.

Appreciate your patience,

Hi-Power · #13 05-30-2002, 01:58 PM

Ray,

I got some estimates from the USPS for shipping the wheel to Volcano Village, Hawaii

Rates are as follow:

3 Day Service : US$ 39.40

3 Week Service : US$ 26.25

Let me know if you have been able to find something better.

Warren,

I am not sure where those wheels came from, but I know they are OEM and will check the Part No. engraved on the wheel. Will also post a pic from them, that way you can get a better idea.

Wanted to check in with you to say that I heard from my mechanic who tells me that he has a rim that I can use for the spare. Am planning to go check it out to see if it'll work, as soon as I can.

Thanks,

Hi-Power · #15 06-05-2002, 11:22 PM

Ray,

That's ok pal, go and check with your mechanic, maybe you can get a much better deal with him considering he is a local supplier.

If that wheel is not what you're looking for, I'll hold my wheel here for you !
