    not that I could put out that kind of cash for these, but man are they beautiful. very rare is it that I see 14in. RS's, but when I do they are always in perfect shape. I'm sure the reason for this is that they're owned by passionate enthusiasts. glad to see you are of these ranks.

    if you decide to sell in the future at an easier to acquire price, please PM me with a heads up. thanks.

    started off with mint RS240's.

    had the center bore opened up to VW fitment 57.1mm.







    then went from this:



    to this:









    then fully polished centers and hex caps:





    custom dishes:





    chromed bolts:



    cleaned up and polished up the original valves:

    bump

    it cost me $3800 to build these... not counting my own time, assembly, balancing, tire mounting, shipping & duties, etc

    i also have the original mint 0.5" dishes.

    Just on the off-chance, would you consider a trade of my 15" (7.5 and 8s) RM's and cash of course. I'm in Canada also.

    I do not agree with the sale of these wheels.

    I'll bump this anyways because Mike is a great guy. The future owner of these wheels will not be disappointed. Good luck with the sale buddy
