Dirt Cheap Wheels?

I really want to get my BBS basketweaves refinished. I know it's a long shot and I will probably get ridiculed for asking, but would anyone happen to have either dirt cheap wheels or wheels they would give me for no charge? I just need something to ride on until the wheels are finished.
I know it's a long shot and I don't actually expect to get anyone who would give me a set of wheels.
Local is much rather preferred considering shipping cost for wheels.
Additional note, my car is a 1984 528e needs 5 lug wheels.
Thanks.

I am changing to 16" wheels. Where are you located, how soon do you need them? I am working on a project car with my son, and have 4 wheels and tires on the car we need to part with. Let me know. Curtis

Well I would like them soon, but there is no pressure or any deadline for getting them.

why don't you just rotate the spare around?

Check your local yards and try some high volume used wheel places. I came across some 14" bottlecaps with new Michelins on them a year ago for $100 at a used wheel and tire shop. I didn't need them at the time, but I could kick myself now for not picking them up.

I have some good (as good as TRXs get) TRXs. If you have a way to get them (in NC) you can just scrap them and send me the cash when you're done.

Same deal, TRXs on bottle caps - if TN is closer than NC...

Going to check some local yards today to see what I can find.
