Default Junkyard treasure!

Found these Riken mesh wheels at my local junkyard. No bends, rash, or cracks with all centercaps intact. $80.00 for the set! (yaayyy) 14x6 +35

After I refinish them they will be going on my 90 sedan.

that is definately a nice find. Will the center bore fit? I had some from a rx-7 that I had a long time ago and when I went to put them on, the center bore was too small. I was pissed, but they went to a good home so its all gravy. Nice find anyway you look at it.

Yes, that's the spot where the old weight was removed. I found them in the wheel section of the junkyard so i'm not exactly sure what car they came off of.

It was purchased in 2003 for $2,300 after tax and licensing. The sticker price was $3,995 FYI.
