It was up in Seattle.....and its currently (found out today), still in storage in LA awaiting the next ship down-under ! So still around 6 weeks away 
I only have some very poor pics, so would prefer to wait.
Its a Black on Black Aerobody. Build no 50 (The famous 'Sledgehammer' as build No. 51 I believe)
Apprx 32000 miles

Haha thanks for that...YEP...Already contacted the dealer, andhe will not seprate (understandably)
I have subsequently found ou though, that the 87 DYMAGS wont st right on my 88. There was a geometry variation between the two models...
Thanks for your help !

My pleasure. The wheels are "as new" and include new 89 caps and emblems. (redone by Ye Ole Wheel shop)
I'll post pictures for Dymag lovers

Dymags were not cheap even back in the day. Mid America was selling them for about $3k for a set. $3k for a set of wheels back in the late 80's early 90's says a lot. Not only do these wheels look great, but the weight difference due to the use of Magnesium makes a huge difference in the way the car handles. Reducing the weight at the wheels makes an all around improvement to the car.
