More Opinions Please
I need the benefit of your supreme and worldly knowledge please.
I want to buy a set of CCW wheels. I've spoken to the boss and she wants a new dining room set. We are buying a new dining room set. I can no longer make the claim that we have "liquid" assets for me to buy the wheels I want. I have to sell something. In spite of the $%^@&*! dining room, my wife remains the best thing to happen to me so for you smart a$$es - my wife is not for sale. - I do, however, have my original MY91 ZR-1 sawblade wheels packed away in boxes. They haven't seen the light of day for the last 16+ years. They spent a few hundred miles on the car but were perfect when they were put in the boxes. What are they worth? - I have an set of chrome plated, aftermarket, A-mold wheels. They include the tire pressure sensors that all work. Also included are a set of Michelin Pilots (PS) tires with less 3K miles on them. Everything is in excellent, if not perfect, condition. I'm thinking they are worth more as a set of wheels, sensors, and tires than they would be selling individually. Do you agree and what do you think they are worth? - I have my original exhaust manifolds and cats. They have less than 1K miles on them. They have, however, been sitting in my attic for 16+ years. Are they worth anything? Thanks. |

Sell the wheels and buy new living room furniture.

Re: More Opinions Please
Forget the wheels. Your car looks great as-is. Plus it has the mods happening where it counts, under the hood and in the diff case.
I would guess the sawblades would be $1000 maybe less, finding someone who wants them might be the trick. Knock-off A-molds, I'd think less than $500, though with tires they'd be worth more. LTPWS is not a plus to some people, I don't know if it would increase the sale price or not? The stock manifolds I don't think there is much market for. Probably better to just save them just in case.

Re: More Opinions Please
I'm with Bob on this one.....even thou I don't "know" your car.
It just seems that Bob's point should be well taken....your car is hooked up & the CCW's would be icing on the cake, but cosmetic icing that your car doesn't absolutly need....wait & see what comes down the road and recover from the domestic agenda & maybe later the wheel thing is happening at a moment that better siuts your situation. JMHO Tom

If the Chrome A molds after market have the correct ZR-1 offset in the front and rear as well I would have interest in those as well. You would be better off selling the tires, wheels and sensor seperate. Sensors alone are worth 75-125 Ea. LMK Daryll goldcylon@earthlink.net The Cats can sell in the $300-400 each range or as a pair for about $600

Jim, THANKYOU! I can't believe a Moderator would actually take the time to help out on a post. That would never happen on the Forum! Seriously, thank you very much. GOLDCYLON has actually PM'd me, so he get the first shot and then I'll respond to the link you provided. Again, thanks. Scott |
