Those are worth money? WTF. They are ugly, and in bad shape. I think I saw some in the salvage yard this weekend on a 82 Firebird. Passed them right by.

 

They are very big for the Knight Rider people.

 

Knight Rider sucks!!!!

 

lol...Ive seen whole third gens that run and have those same rims for less the price than the price ppl are trying to selll the rims alone for!.
I want to meet some of these ppl that have bought these rims for more than 500$ and give them a good pat on the back and say lol

 

Blasphemy!!!

 

yah, I was watching those rims. It's over $200 and that is STILL to high for me. Either I'm really cheap or I know what the rims are really worth. Knight Rider sucks...if only because the parts I need are overpriced on Ebay.

What I've been doing lately is looking in the classifieds for '82-'83 TA's with those rims. If I see one I'll call up the person and see if they want to trade or get rid of the rims. I think most people would be willing to, and I'd rather have them then someone else just getting rid of them for better rims. Saw one at a dealer not too long ago. Unfortunatly they wouldn't part with the rims unless I bought the car

Anyway, it's another alternative to looking at overpriced rims on ebay...and if they say no, so what. At least I tried!!

The other day while working I saw an early third gen while driving and went out of my way to turn around to see if it had the turbocasts...had the rally II's instead! Another one I saw had the turbofin rims, but I think they were 14"...car was a V6 and pretty beat up.

 

I do agree that they are going for insane prices, but technically that makes them "worth" that much. Supply and Demand, where they meet = price and worth

Good luck on getting a pair for cheap or free. I have a set of 14s that are just kinda sitting around off of my 84 T/A.

 

 

they kinda look like 14 inch rims lol hope I'm wrong and someone doesnt get ripped of LOL

 

 

ill jump on this roster.......it sucks. build an interior up to look like an air plane ****-pit, with a bunch of non-functional doo-das, add one low horsepower car around said interior and one future german hero who would not be able to function without said air craft ****-pitted car with a honda-h22a-has-more-hp engine , and wham......instant iconage. and the damn thing talks, kinda like mr. ed, except everyone realises mr. ed could not talk, and he was a horse feeding you horse ****, instead of a car feeding you info on how to escape and picking you feminine a$$ up cause you cant run from the "bad guys" fast enough.......instead of building the car, knight industries should have spent some money to find a guy who was less of an idiot to carry out thier bidding. robocop would have walked back to the station, and if someone got in his way, he would pull a frickin gun out of his thigh and shot them. he didnt need a car, hell mad max didnt even need a car. did you see the look on mels face when they were reving up that blowen cleveland? he was intoxicated, with 600hp, not 200hp that kitt was pushing. hed hobble and limp into the middle of the road with a sawed off shotgun just to bait some bikers into coming close enough to shoot them in the face. and speaking of mad max, goose didnt get jacked up while riding his bike, he went off the road at like a buck fifty and the only way they got him was hurling a brake drum through the windshield and burning him alive....and he lived. now thats the manly way to get the job done. i bet they could have put cory feldman in hasselhofs position and the same outcome would have taken place.....take away bruce cambells olds in "army of darness" and what happens? he kicks alot of a$$. a whole lot of it. remember in "american graffiti" when john milner gets out of his car to help out frog and he kicks two guys a$$e$ at the same time? how about when lee majors in "fall guy" gets out of his brown 4x4 pickup? he jumps off a frickin building thats what! AND he didnt get hurt, he didnt land in a dumpster and go "kitt, come quick, im outta midol and i got like some vicious menstral cramps from jumping off this building". nope, he got his self up and caught a cab. screech from "saved by the bell" didnt need a car, and he got a date with kelly without one. the car was the star, and it was bogus, because micheal could not get the job done without it. so much for human initative.

 

LOL

 

I second the 14" observation lol

Wasn't there an auction for these with the caps that went for over a grand!?

What's the big deal? Some company should make repros and make a killing!

 

maybe the should make repos...then the prices would come down, but then the only people who would buy the repos are knight rider people anyway since most people who actually have them get rid of them.

 

sad thing - bought my 82 in 95, had those exact same rims - though they needed sandblasted & reman, but I sold them in a garage sale for $20.....

had no idea why they were on the car... thought they looked horrible... now I know the err of my ways... dang it!!!

here's what the car looks like now

**had to post the link b/c the pic is huge!!! couldn't figure out how to make it smaller......

 

thats a nice TA .Any more pics.I really like those 2nd gen wheels on there

 

I actually don't have any more pics scanned in... that pic is from high school... that was/is my pride and joy... can't wait to get the engine going again!!

 

Red1991TransAm: Thats a good looking car without a doubt. But I have to be honest and say I think it would look better with the original N89's on it. I think im one of the few people who thinks they look good. I know, Im a weirdo. LOL

 

I sold at set on eBay earlier this year that when for $800.00! That was insane. The person lived in Japan and paid for express 10 day air shipping, that’s another $350. I started the auction at $200 but whatever I guess they really wanted them. Lately, the price has seemed to come down to the $400 to $600 range.
