Default HELP! need loaner wheels

I need to borrow a set of 16" wheels for as long as 2 months. I ordered a set of 3 piece Lindsey wheels and arranged for someone to buy my 7's and 9's. Problem is the wheels I'm having made are going to take up to 2 months the make. Apparently Lindsey is having trouble with a wheel half supplier. I don't want to make the person who has agreed to buy my wheels wait 2 months to get his wheels. So my plee is: Can someone let me borrow (rent) a set of wheels for the time it takes to make mine? I'l throw in a Mackpipes Engineering valve adjust tool to make it right. I need these ASAP. Thanks in advance.

Ted, I have four 16x6's with rubber on them. They are all yours until you get your lindseys. If you don't prefer the tricycle look, you can always use the 6's up front and borrow some 7's or 8's for the rears. Let me know.

I have a set of 6s and 7s with no rubber and a set Yoko AVS Intermediates 225/50s that could be mounted on the 7s. If you can get a set of 205/55s for the 6s, or get a set of Pari's, you're set. These are yours for as long as you need them - no plans to use them at all in the foreseeable future.

Problem solved! Thanks Eric!
I bought 914guy's 951 phonedials I should have them by midweek. Thanks for all the offers.
Incidently, There will be a set of 951 phonedials with almost new Yoke AVS for sale in about two months if anyone is interested. These are 7's and 8's.
