[s-cars] wheel questions

[Lee Levitt]

OZ SLs are unobtanium. I've got two sets on my cars and will buy any 
single wheel I can find.

The UltraLeggera is their current replacement for the SL, and they 
pop up every now and then.

Audizine is pretty good for parts, although its somewhat California 
centric and "local pickups preferred."

That having been said, I picked up a set of 17x8 BBS RKs from a guy 
in Palo Alto off AZ. I grabbed them during one of my business trips 
to the area.

VWVortex.com is another good source, and remember to look in the 
5x112 VW section too. I snagged a set of OZs from a guy with a 
Passat. He listed them at $200 plus shipping cos they were *dirty*.

They were dirty...caked in brake dust. They cleaned up nicely. :)
