Thanks for stopping by and welcome to our auction!

You are bidding on a set of four 15" x 9" & 15" x 11" Porsche RSR Fuchs original factory wheels. We just had these completely restored by Al Reed Polishing in Anaheim, California and have NOT been driven on since. We have these in our secure storage in our Van Nuys location. The wheels are absolutely stunning and are finished in the proper polished finish with satin black paint between the spokes. Center caps are polished and crests were hand painted by Al Reed as well. These original RSR wheels are virtually impossible to find nowadays. We've already sold two sets of these on eBay to satisfied customers and this is our last set. Once this set is gone, we have NO MORE! We fully inspect every set to make sure they pass our quality inspection before shipping them to you.
This description makes no sense to me. Obviously these folks know the value of those wheels so why were they purposely refinished in that manner? That is nowhere near the proper finish as stated.

I also don't understand the pricing on these wheels, who uses them? I abondoned mine when the tires became obsolete. They're useless. Even those with RSR clones don't use 15" wheels. The only use, I would think, would be museum cars.
I'm thinking of mounting my 9s on the garage wall and using them as an air hose reel.
