How much is a set of 90' Wheels/Tires worth?

[Ccmano]

Thinking about selling off my OEM wheels and tires. The wheels were refinished 2 years ago and look great. They do have the odd nick from 2 years of driving but generally look perfect. The tires are Sumitomos also 2 years old with about 8K miles on them and about 2/3's tread left. Also in near perfect condition.

I'm thinking $1500 for the set? Is that too much or too little?

Here's a shot of one of the rears to give an idea...

Thats alittle on the high side from what I have seen. Did you make a purchase?

[Ccmano]

I'm buying those Dymag/Michelins you pointed out to me. Just need to break even selling mine off.

I could never get him to respond to my e-mails...not sure why.

[Ccmano]

They responded to mine but wouldn't come off the asking price. Gave them my new CA address. Still a great deal for newly refinished Gen2 Dymags and near new Michelins.

Whats the story behind them? Is he a Z owner?

Not sure, didn't get into that. I'll find out next weekend when I pick them up. Should look cool on the Z though. Fronts are 11"s with 275's, rears are 13"s with 335's. Hope there's no fitment issues.

No fitment issues. A Z brother of ours Marty has them on a 93 Ruby in NJ.....

Hope you get those wheels! :thumbsup:

Doesn't he run a spacer on the rears?

To the OP, I think the problem is finding someone who a) wants the '90 style wheel and b) doesn't already have them from their car. I think most guys with a '90 Z have a set of wheels sitting in their garage or basement or attic somewhere...

Good catch... Forgot to add that he has spacers on front and rear.

I would have to agree with Bob, here. Not much market for 90 wheels. I think your tires would just be throw ins. Now if you had 90 wheels/90 tires you might have something.

Dymag+Michelins > 90's + sumitomos.

ZZZZZR1,
Can you find out for me what size spacers he's using, it would save me some time. Thanks.

As for the 90' wheels/tires, it will take someone who either wants to restore the orignial look of a Z or has a beater set on their car and doesn't want to take the time to refinish.

Look's like $1500 may be excessive. Won't know until I actually put them out there.

I was going to say that there has to be at least 2 thousand sets out there, like Bob was thinking.

I have my 90 wheels, with new stickers and the original tires. I would give the tires away for what it would cost to ship & dis mount them. I want to buy a set of GS-D3's before they run out and we have to wait for G/Yr to decide to make another run of 315's....like two yrs ago. I'm getting tire of looking at my fake chrome A-molds that are on the car and want to go back to the salad shooters. The front rubber is from 05 & has 32k on them and they're only 1/2 worn....I thought that they would be worn out by now with the 220 rating?

I hate to say it Hans, but I think there are still too many salad shooter sets, in primo condition too, that are still out there. JMHO:redface:

Call Rippie, they use to sell the Dymag 2s.

The Dymag 2s are set up for the narrow cars so my guess is a 16-20mm spacer will work, but with that spacer you will need longer Studs as well

no, I sold my 90 wheels, but currently i am not looking for a set either

[phrogs]

I have a set of 90 rears that I wanted $500 for and didnt sell.

Our front rims are the stock cars rear so they are not hard to find but I cant even sell the rears

I'm not 100% sure, but I believe those wheels were 9.5" front and 11" rear, and were the "regular" or GS offset. Basically they were made for the base cars, not ZR-1's.

It sounds like your wheels are custom if they are 11" and 13" wide. It may be they were made for the Z. What were they mounted on before you bought them?

[Ccmano]

I'm picking the wheels up on Sunday, I'll keep you guys posted on what they look like and post some pix. I'm in the middle of moving to SoCal from Chicago, so it may take a little longer to post.
