FS: Vintage EMPI Lemmerz 5.5/15 Chrome Wheels and Goodyear Blue Streak Tires

[RBR53]

For sale is a matching set of four vintage EMPI 356 style wheels made by the original manufacture, Lemmerz, in Western Germany. These were sold by EMPI briefly until Porsche put a stop to it. They are all marked as being made in Nov of 1967. They are identical to original 356 except that they are an inch wider. They are not in mint shape but are very presentable. Also included are a matched, vintage set of Goodyear Blue Streak racing tires in size 4.25/7.00-15. The tires are old and would certainly not be suited to drive on at high speeds, but they're good for display. The wheels and tires both would look great on an unrestored race car, or an older restoration. They were clearly actually used on an true, vintage Porsche race car themselves, so they are legitimate race-related items. Really sparks your imagination thinking about what car they came from and what racing they've seen in their lives.

Right now I am offering them for local pickup only. I am located in Youngstown, OH, which is an hour from both Cleveland and Pittsburgh.

Just judging from others I have seen for sale, both the wheels and the tires themselves seem to be worth a fair bit of money. I am offering the whole package for $1,150 OBO.

Bump.

Anyone can make me an offer on these. If it's at all reasonable I may go for it.

I found a couple boxes big enough to ship these wheels, so they're now being offered nationally on eBay starting at only $500. Vintage Empi Lemmerz 5 5x15 Chrome Slotted Wheels and Goodyear Blue Streak Tires | eBay
