WTB: Cheap wheels
I'm looking for a set of cheap wheels to put on a rolling chassis. Anyone know of a wheel that will fit these cars, maybe something in a fine rusted steel finish? At first I thought I'd try buying some old steel spares but found out they're ridiculously expensive (why didn't I guess?).
Any ideas?

16 inch 7 slots are your best bet, they pop up a lot and go for cheap. Otherwise you can hunt around for a set of Panamera rims, I've seen them go for $300 on craigslist. So there are a few options out there.

16" Manholes. Every so often a set pops up for free.
I know Hacker took a set off his 88 and said he had so many of them that he was going to hang one of them on the side of his house for a hose rack.

OP: Where are you? I have a couple of sets of S4 wheels with tires on them.

After the two earlier comments about cheap wheels I may just give up on the whole idea since the car has manhole covers on it now and I was thinking about saving them to use as a spare set for my other car. Now I know people give them away I may reconsider I'd like to keep them since I can use them but it wouldn't make any sense to buy another set. I thought there might be something a little more basic out there.

That's not an entirely bad idea. It could go well with the 944 engine block coffee table I saw this morning...

I have a set of scratched but decent Turbo Twist 18x8 and 18x11 wheels from a 2003 C4S. I used them on my 1987 S4 for a while. No tires. You can have them for $300. I am in San Francisco and can meet you in South San Francisco.

Even though they're scratched up they might be in better shape than what I need to keep the parts car off its knees while I strip the rest of the usable stuff off it. Your offer is going to sit in the back of my head gnawing at me though...
