If it's a set of four diamond spoke type ( not sure what the exact name might be- sometime I see them as honeycomb or crosslace) and they're in good shape then I am pretty sure I will buy them from you. Thanks kcobb1201@hotmail.com
Brand new to this group so if I have broken rules anywhere with posting email address or otherwise please advise.
Ill post pics tonight. These wheels are not in fantastic shape by any means but if you want some wheels you can refurbish or some wheels that look decent for the most part for a cheap price then these are for you. They have some defects but are overall in good shape. I will post pics of everything tonight and add them. Give me a few minutes.
Here are the pics, I forgot that right before i removed the old wheels I lost a centercap as you will see in the pics. I still have the center cap frame however, I was pissed but i had new wheels so it didnt matter all that much.
I took pictures of everything damage wise and tread depth. Ill put captions on each pic.
tread depth top and bottom two tires all are the same and have 3-4/32nds left of tread. The 2nd from the top was put on new after a little accident and has nearly 10/32nds left.
first wheel
damage on rim lip. Was done before I bought the car dont know what happened. If i remember correctly this wheel had a little bounce in it but you can CLEARLY see from the pics that the tire wore completely smooth. I ran the tires from when they were brand new and NONE of them ever cupped or had wear issues. (you can also see some of the clear has disappeared due to their age)
"New" wheel put on after accident no damage to report except the missing center cap as explained previously
Third wheel with no major damage. There is some light curb rash but its pretty minimal. The center cap has a crack in the clear plastic face. (happens because they are hard to get out and get cracked when punched out)
Close up of worst curb rash
Last wheel in good shape with a clean center cap
Some clear coating coming off a little bit
Kinda hard to see the last pic but its not very bad at all. Once again im not selling these for "show" cars, only for guys who would like some wheels to get them buy, for racing, or to refurbish.
Let me know. Best offer will take them (Id like $200) and then we'll have to arrange pickup or delivery.
HI they look decent, I have a question. Your third picture that shows the damaged rim- what is the gray spot near the damaged lip- is that some type of repair? Thanks
Kim, that is where the clearcoat is peeling from the rim. If you wanted, you could get all the wheels refinished and they'll look like they just came out of the factory. Last I checked it was like $50 per wheel.
I was looking online to see if I could buy some like this but there are different ones to chose from that are 16"...ie 4.375 BS vs 5.235BS...I am a newbie on buying rims so what is the difference?
I am still quite interested in them but understand if you get an offer while I am trying to decide. Here is the car I am in the process of buying and would rather have this style than what is currently shown on it.
anyone else interested by chance? they are still available
I'll definitely buy them if you're bringing them towards Houston. I'm about 30 miles east of Austin going towards Houston.
The rim you said had bounce in it, is it a front or a rear?

I believe it was the front. Ill check for sure tomorrow. I want to say again though that despite the little bounce I never had steering wheel vibrations or a rough ride due to tires. The tires also wore completely evenly with no cupping whatsoever. I dont know how this is possible but i am thinking that the bounce was barely noticeable and definately not severe!
Ill let you know about bringing them to you. I will def make a trip home to houston sometime this summer to see my fam for a week. Ill try to stop into Bastrop and drop you the wheels and tires. Its going to be tricky though because i have a rather small car.
Ill keep you updated as far as I am concerned you technically have dibs for now.

Since it seems they may still be available I may still be interested. When would you be coming to Houston...I am in SA and if they have not sold by the time you get going let me know or I will contact you again around your travel time. Still trying to decide if I am keeping the 91 TA- which would look good with those wheels. Thanks
If you have not sold them by the time you come closer to San Antonio then I still might take them. I am trying to sell my TA so if I have not sold it by then and I decide to keep it them I still might want them. Sorry to be so wishy washy about it-certainly don't hold them for me but I am still as interested as before. thanks
Anyone else interested by chance? Ill just hold on to them for other interests if not.
When are you heading down to Houston? I'll buy them from you if you'll bring them to Houston with you. I have a friend there who can get them and hang on to them for me (I'm in San Antonio).
