A long time ago I posted some info about how a place called the Tire Rack had some McLaren wheels.  The wheels in this auction are them.  I've seen a set of these on a car and they looked kinda funny cause you could see a thin stripe of orange around the bead of the tire where the outer lip of the wheel didn't get painted black. They were sold as part of a  wheel and tire package.  This is the story told to me by Diversified Marketing when I tried to buy some more wheels from them.  Apparently ASC or  Diversified (not sure of this part) had a "ton" of the orange wheels laying around and liquidated them to the Tire Rack cause they weren't selling very well.   I had gotten one for a replacement for $85 back in '89 and figured I'd buy a set but a couple months later the "ton" of wheels they had laying around were all of sudden all gone.
 
These are worth the asking price even if all you want is the center caps.
