Wheels At Wreakers

[pozman]

saw these today at the wreckers, not sure if i should get them or not, so i thought i might put them up here to see if any one interested

 

 

they were on a t18, and seamed to have a fairly mean offset

[Jason]

ive seen them on a t18 before, there 13 arnt they?

[Des]

I think i read r13 on the tire

[pozman]

i thought they were a 14 but after thinking about it they could be a 13

 

they have quite a wide tyre on them though

How much are they? My limited experience with wheels at wreckers is that they aren't very cheap and not where I'd go to find the bargins.

[thomo]

look like early lancer/colt factory mags, worth $150 ish id guess, but it all depends on who wants them!

As Thomo said it depends on who wants them and if that type/style of wheel is in demand. When we were building lots of box trailers before moving to the specialised trailer market we used to buy used 15" Commodore chasers and 15" Falcon rims for $5 a rim, at the time they were selling to public of the street for $45-$50a rim. We also got brand new Mazda 3 rims (15" suit ford hub) for $4.50 a rim from the same place and they sold to public for $60 a rim.

 

Thing is now due to steel shortage they are worth more to a wrecker as scrap metal rather then have them sitting around for a few weeks. I now buy new wheels from ROH delivered cheaper then what you can get used ones for from a wrecker. Wreckers will ask as much as people will pay and that is just business as they have bills to pay as well.

i saw another t-18 with them on it today, must be factory thing.

 

as for price ill ask them next time I'm there.

i don't really like them, but yeah i have seen them on a t-18 before. I wouldn't buy them though. Especially from a wrecker.

there stockies and that silver lip just pulls off every one ive seen of them is 13"
