I am in NH and had no luck at the local PAPs. They are still crushing cars as soon as they come in for scrap.
If any one is hitting a PAP in the near future, and happen to see a some W123 with Bundts and the correct lugs, see what they want and let me know.
If it its not to bad, I would be willing to pay you for the lugs, shipping and a finders fee.
Local retail shops (Advance) are asking $60+ for only 10.
For that price I will pick up 2 cheapy tires for my steel rims and resell the Bundts.
Heading out side to put the steelies back on. 8o(
Thanks !
Steve
