$150 finders fee

Okay so here's the deal. I have my heart set on a set of American Eagle Alloy series 195 wheels for my 73 Frame off resto/mod project. I don't need the wheels for awhile but since they are discontinued, and I am having trouble finding them I thought maybe you guys might be able to help me out. I called American Eagle wheels and they said they are discontinued, I've looked all over the internet and several websites list them as avail. but when you call they don't have them and can't get them. I've search craigslist and ebay for 2 months. Hopefully one of you guys happens to spot a set I can use. Looking for 17 inch with 5x5.5 bolt pattern.

It's hard to find any 17" wheel in that lug pattern, with the possible exception of factory dodge wheels. Good luck though

Yea I can find them listed on websites, all over the place. Yet when you call them they tell you the wheel is discontinued and they can't get any. Which I politely reply then take them off your website.
