XplosiveLugnut Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 (edited) I'm looking for the cheapest way to get a "good" (you know... not out of round and such) set of wheels. I figure a set of steelies would be my best bet. I have one already (the spare), so I only really need three but would prefer four. I also don't need tires, mine are very fresh. I have a "set" of 4 slotted mags. (Only 2 of them appear to be identical) Aesthetically, I think they're awesome. Mechanically, they kinda suck. One of them is out of round, so I'm using my one steely. I'd like them to match it. They're all the same right? A set of four that match each other is fine too. If anything will be a deal breaker here, it'll probably be shipping. I have no idea what it costs to ship three or four of these things. I'm in north Alabama. I'd be willing to drive a few hours to pick 'em up if I get that lucky. Thanks for viewing! Edited July 3, 2015 by XplosiveLugnut Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RebekahsZ Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 The best place to get good steel use is out of the trunk. Look for spare tires out of early cars. The tires may even still be good! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnG Posted July 4, 2015 Share Posted July 4, 2015 I have two original "steelies" that I have no use for any longer. They have winter tires mounted, and are hanging in my garage. I used them in the late '70's when my 240Z was a semi daily driver. I live north of Pittsburgh, and have no need of them at all---you may have them for free, but I don't know what shipping cost would be. --John G Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XplosiveLugnut Posted July 7, 2015 Author Share Posted July 7, 2015 Those look like they're in great shape! This Saturday I'm going to take RebekahsZ's advice and try my local Z yard, I hadn't thought of checking the spare wheel wells. If I can only find one or two, I'll definitely have yours shipped down here. If I find at least three (miracle?), I guess I'll be good to go. Thanks!

JohnG Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 You know what! I haven't checked my own spare wheel well in decades. I might have a third wheel. I'll check. ---JohnG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnG Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 I DO have the original wheel and tire in the spare wheel well, but I've decided to keep it as part of the car. If you're interested in the 2 steelies hanging in my garage, let me know. --JohnG. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnG Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 Got the check, cashed it, and now am ready for the FedEx truck to pick up the wheels. ---JohnG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnG Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 FedEx picked up the 2 wheels at 1:20pm this afternoon. They're on their way! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
