Default Snake Skinner or Cash

Well,

Unless something goes awry I will be picking up a 2nd 17X11 and have a complete set of ZR-1 Gen I Dymags......so it begs the question. Do I take my 90 and do a snakeskinner package(Ported intake.........Sans AC, Radio, etc) or sell them all and cash in. I already had an interested party in one of the wheels...he might have waited too long.

Your thoughts?

Take the money and run. Better investments out there than a set of wheels with limited audience.

Keep in mind I bought 4 Gen I 17x9.5s, 1 17X11 GenI, and 4 Gen II 17x9.5s, 1 Perkins Dymag all for $290. Sold the 4 Gen Is for $1600, and the Perkins for $300. So I am +$1600

With the current set, I already have the 2 fronts sold for the full cost of what I am buying all 5 wheels for....so utlimately I in the plus on Dymags.

Yes I am trying to justify keeping them

The trick with Lexan is that it needs to be mounted to an aluminum frame........apparently that is what was done with this car. Christ they have Lexan windshields too.

Cool Re: Snake Skinner or Cash

Keep em'. There will always be a buyer for something that special. Plus the 'Cool' factor of having them is way high . Cash is just cash, at the end of the day...

Talking Re: Snake Skinner or Cash

I have a bud that's starting to look for some Callaway Dymags for a 1991 B2K. If anyone has any leads on some please let me know.
Thanks
