Default I have someone from Pelican interested.

These are the 6s and 7s that I replaced with the 7s and 8s. Nothing definite yet, but just getting ready. I posted on Dorki, then CL, and now Pelican. If no success, I may just keep them as spares.

He keeps one OEM to maintain "period correctness".

Default Per Wonger's recommendation

16.8Lbs each, 17 x 8.5, they are going to be fitted with Toyo RA1s in 235/40/17. 17 x 8.5 is the stock size of my rears which are fitted with 245/40/17, but Toyo doesn't make an RA1 in size 245. The guy at Radial Tire told me all his E36 customers who do DEs use the 235s, so that's what I went with.

I needed a second set of rims for track tires. These were cheap ($165 each), lightweight, and came recommended. No center caps, but I don't need those anyway.

Default Yup, Tirerack's Delaware warehouse gets them in stock in early February

so that's when they'll show up. I'll have them in plenty of time for the Summit event in March.
