I've got a set of 3rd gen ROH zr6 wheels(appear to be the same as 93-94 Firehawk but 3rd gen backspacing, trying to figure how rare/desireable they are? Not sure I'm going to use them

Zero to me, Prob. around $100/wheel based upon condition seen in the pic.

Re: 3rd gen ROH ZR6 17" firehawk style wheels, how rare or desireable

I'd say if you're not gonna use 'em, and want to sell, I'd say clean 'em up real nice first. Don't know why most people don't CLEAN their parts. Just leaves money on the table. I'd think you could get a couple hundred bucks out of 'em. Keep in mind it's not just thirdgens that will use that offset. Many of the cars and trucks from that era can use them, so keep that in mind when you sell. ....your problem will be that there are just so many other choices out there nowadays. That's good for the hobby, bad for someone selling an old set of wheels that wasn't ever an original thirdgen wheel. I actually like 'em, but I think they may be a tough sell, at least for any real money.

GLWS, assuming you don't keep 'em.

They are actually the same casting as the ROH SZ wheels. The difference was they machined down the wheel.
