WTB: 15x8 +36 6UL(s)

Hello! Like the title says looking for anywhere from 1-4 15x8 +36 6UL wheels to replace one I damaged on my car. I have the nickel finish, but have a good local powdercoater, so am not worried about the color really. Thanks in advance, willing to pay shipping to Indiana!

Thanks in advance for help!

I know right, hoping maybe someone has an odd pair of 3 and has bought new wheels? Fingers crossed.

Have you checked with 949? I think they keep a small number in stock set aside for their current customers who need one. It's possible they've run through that stock too, but it's worth checking if you have just seen that they're out of stock and assumed that means that they can't help you.

Where in IN are you located? I have a set of them in the Indy area.

Thanks for the heads up, had not fully thought it through. I think boileralum may have saved the day!
