FireMedic331 Posted April 11, 2008 Share Posted April 11, 2008 These wheels were on the car when I bought it. I want to sell or trade them but dont know what they would be worth? I am doing a ls1 swap so I am looking for a set of wheels with some meat, without using fender flares. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJLamberson Posted April 11, 2008 Share Posted April 11, 2008 Im not sure you could even give those away, good luck finding a buyer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Titus_RacerX Posted April 11, 2008 Share Posted April 11, 2008 Im not sure you could even give those away, good luck finding a buyer. They would be good for rolling the car around in the paint booth. Getting overspray on them would not be a big woop. Is that a basket over steel wheel? I ain't seen one of those in a long time! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capt_furious Posted April 11, 2008 Share Posted April 11, 2008 It's a real wire spoke wheel, actually. A lot of those ended up on '20s / '30s style kit cars in the '80s. Take 'em over to one of the other Z sites...specifically the one that starts with 'C'...and a purist would probably go for 'em. You probably still won't get much.

deja Posted April 11, 2008 Share Posted April 11, 2008 I was watching Livin The Low Life on Speed TV the other day and they said wire wheels are hugh with the low rider crowd in LA. Try putting them on craigslist in LA. Might try a Triumph message board if you can find one, I think our wheels will fit the old Triumphs. These wheels were on the car when I bought it.

naviathan Posted April 11, 2008 Share Posted April 11, 2008 Clean them up and sell them on craigslist for $300. Someone with a lowrider will buy them up in a heart beat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
280Zone Posted April 11, 2008 Share Posted April 11, 2008 and didn't get any calls. Our bolt pattern isn't that popular on low riders. Not to mention they prefer the 13" wheels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BenJammin Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 One man's junk is another man's treasure... throwing them on Ebay or Craigslist is always worth a try if you ask me (as long as you don't feel rejected when you get 0 bids or no calls !)

280ZX_factor Posted April 17, 2008 Share Posted April 17, 2008 Those rims are really poplular with the lowriders, espcially the guys who cruise those 80's bustle-back caddies. They call rims like those "swangas". Maybe that will help you get more replies when you list them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
