where are the best online forums/markets to source used 4x100 wheels?

they seem to be harder to find lately especially in sub +40 offsets.

Nice looking wheel on an 02!

Did you pull the fenders?

Thank you!

 

Yes, I did a lot of work the last 12 months on this thing. 

 

Puller, rolled, rubbed, you name it. - Still rubs on occasional full lock. Trying to figure out if I am going to keep running these wheels.

Purchased a set of CN36's from Longstone in early June before the price increase.  Put them on a set of "rescued" Minilites which have some minor bends but static balanced ok.  ($35 sandblast at the local Amish shop, Rattle can with Rustoleum self-etching primer and silver metallic wheel paint, coat with VHT polymer.  66mm Minilite centre caps )

Rare Minilite double fins wheels

The aluminum lug nuts are unobtanium.  I found several that had split barrels and others with slightly shorter length shanks.  I had to find a replacement for two and got pretty close with a Toyota mag lug nut with washer removed (far right in photo)

 

I got them from an older friend who has a nice collection of vintage BMW's.  I knew they had some slight dents from curbing over the many years but didn't want to give up on them since there aren't many survivors in my area.  The BMW tech. couldn't get them to balance on the Road Force machine but did static balance them "with a lot of sticky tape weights".  I can feel a bouncing vibration from the rear wheel with the worst tire but that's only over 70 mph, so they'll probably be the local summer cruising tires and NOT going on the 9 hour drive down to the Vintage at a steady 75mph cruise speed.

    BMW Neue Klasse - a birth of a Sports Sedan

    Unveiling of the Neue Klasse Unveiled in 1961, BMW 1500 sedan was a revolutionary concept at the outset of the '60s. No tail fins or chrome fountains. Instead, what you got was understated and elegant, in a modern sense, exciting to drive as nearly any sports car, and yet still comfortable for four.   The elegant little sedan was an instant sensation. In the 1500, BMW not only found the long-term solution to its dire business straits but, more importantly, created an entirely new

    History of the BMW 2002 and the 02 Series

    In 1966, BMW was practically unknown in the US unless you were a touring motorcycle enthusiast or had seen an Isetta given away on a quiz show.  BMW’s sales in the US that year were just 1253 cars.  Then BMW 1600-2 came to America’s shores, tripling US sales to 4564 the following year, boosted by favorable articles in the Buff Books. Car and Driver called it “the best $2500 sedan anywhere.”  Road & Track’s road test was equally enthusiastic.  Then, BMW took a cue from American manufacturers,

    The BMW 2002 Production Run

    BMW 02 series are like the original Volkswagen Beetles in one way (besides both being German classic cars)—throughout their long production, they all essentially look alike—at least to the uninitiated:  small, boxy, rear-wheel drive, two-door sedan.  Aficionados know better.   Not only were there three other body styles—none, unfortunately, exported to the US—but there were some significant visual and mechanical changes over their eleven-year production run.   I’ve extracted t
