Three people in 27 minutes lol. Here's a few cell phone shots of them. Should give you a good enough idea of what they are. You can see that I cleaned the bead surfaces and mounting areas up good but didn't spend any time on cosmetics because I was just gonna run drag radials on them.

I might be interested. Well - I am interested. Northeast Kansas / Atlanta, GA is probably about 20-25 per wheel...UPS slow way.
But I'm up for a trade.
The pics are a little hard to tell - but big question - are there any gouges or curb rash on the polished outside band of the rim.
If it's just the usual discoloration - that can be remediated.
By the way , for anyone running the N89 rim, you really should consider a case (or two) of the Eagle1 MAG wheel cleaner, and a dozen stainless steel cleaning brushes. (+ a power washer)
Dremel with a flexi wand + a bunch of mini stainless brushes / wheels (from Horrible Freight) helps a whole lot too
Buy it when your local Advance or AutoZone runs Eagle1 specials.
You can almost make the back side look like the front without even having to bead blast.
But use it one or two sections at a time - because it dries fast and leaves a crazy white residue.
Then after thoroughly cleaning, I spray some Wheel Clear on the rough parts.
Finally, a progressive wet sanding sanding and final polish of the polished fins and inset and they look showroom fresh.
Send me a PM or something Bob and if there is no curb rash - we will do the deal.
OH - one last tip from an experienced parts slore.
For shipping wheels - Drop by your local Discount Tire and dive the dumpster for their used wheel shipping boxes.
They work great.
Not the ones for 22's but something reasonable for a 15".
They usually will have not only the boxes, but cardboard inserts and plastic bags for the wheels thrown in there as well. I always take all they have. One can't ever have enough wheel boxes. The size works great for not only wheels, but SLIC intercoolers and whole bunch of other bulky items. ENJOY!

Yeah - really. I only saw the WE4 part - and never noticed the other.
I'm pretty dumb - so someone needs to explain that to me.
It is some sort of Photoshop trick right?

Yeah - I know.
It was just a tip for anyone who might live in civilization and has some wheels they want to store or ship.
When I'm in a city / town - and I buy wheels, that's my routine to get them home.
I always pray the first Discount Tire I go to hasn't emptied yesterday's lunch all over the wheel boxes in the dumpster!
I get real nasty in my shirt n tie, while hanging halfway in the dumpster scrapping rotten chicken salad off the boxes!
I think there are a bunch of threads in the "How To" - or "Wheels / Tires / Suspension" already for the N89 cleaning.
Even a link to a page link something showing more details.
You know - like maybe I should post a new topic of "Which oil do I use?" - for the 639th time.
The backs of those vectors just always pi$$ me off - looking all crummy.
Sometime the fronts if they are still factory bare - but I don't trust that Eagle1 Mag cleaner around anything so I wouldn't try it with the wheel on.
The stuff has some sort of etching acid in it.
