Help, I need some phone dial rims!

I'm trying to get my GSL-SE rolling again, but having the worst luck trying to find some rims. Does anybody around here happen to have some of those classicly styled phone dial rims for an s4 NA, or some stockie GSL-SE rims? I'm pretty much looking for cheap, but if they happen to have good rubber on them I could spend more. Sorry for posting in here, I'm just kinda not having much luck scouring the trade forum.

Please help meh!
Thanks!

Forgot to say that I'm willing to pull a road trip to hunt down some wheels, even with outrageous gas prices .

Heh, yeah, kinda signed up in the forums while being slightly intoxicated. At the time it sounded like an ingenious name

Bluecoop91 - I PM'd you back, hoping to hear from you later today!

I've got a set if anyone wants 'em. Come and get 'em, I swapped my hubs a couple years ago and these are just sitting around.

I've seen 'Urinal cake' on another forum. Also 'Urine machine', and 'Rice4Life'... Wanktastic isn't too bad.

Thanks Chi_San

Bluecoop91 - thank you so very much for helpin me out, the rim issue was one of my biggest obstacles keeping me from driving the car. Unfortunately, now that I've torn up the carpet, rust is now my number one hinderance

Just finished putting them on so here's the picture:


I think it turned out pretty nice. Thanks again!

Whoa, I like how those look. Hvaen't seen those kinds of wheels on a RX-7 before.

Are you going to goo gone where the badge was, or is it getting fixed/replaced?

I still have the badge laying around, it just is kinda worn down, so I'll need to retouch it. As for the "rust spots" on the fender, I'm still debating what to do. It's actually brake dust thats been impregnated onto the paint. The previous owner apparently disintegrated the passenger side rotor, sending brake dust and iron bits everywhere. I think I'm going to try scrubbing at the marks carefully with a brillo pad, unless anyone has any better ideas?

Hmm, clay bar? I think a clay bar would be less harsh on the paint. =\
