[s-cars] Needed: 1 Nokia NRW snow tire 16" size

[Edward]

Nice!
I'm still in good shape with wheels for the same reason. I run older mille
miglia spyders which are also NLA. I was down to 3 and forced to run my
snows while I searched for a replacment. Finally found a pair new and got
them. A few days loater I found a set of 4, with tires for $300. So I had 5
spare wheels. Sad thing is these wheels are SO soft it doesn't take much of
a pothole to do 'em in. 16 months later and I'm back down to only 2 spare
wheels.

But I do have a matched set of bent wheels with broken tires to go with 'em
;)
