Did those 93 NOS wheels come from the place in New Jersey? The paint on the 91-92 wheels is so thick it takes away some of the definition of the spokes if I do recall the spoke on the painted wheel might have a slight edge. It's the same casting I think just more machine work on the 93 wheel.

You guys think $500 plus shipping for them is fair for wheels that need some work?

The thing with the machined wheels is that they cannot be restored at the local paintshop, you need a place where they have the gear to machine the surfaces. A store in CA quoted $836 to recondition a set of machined sawblades, so I'd say $500 is decent price. Given that they are not bent/damaged.

They did not come from NJ. It's a long story, but Marc Haibeck put me in touch with a Network member from whom I purchased them.

OP,
I saw your FS-thread on CF, and I've gotta say $500 for these is almost lowballing it.


They are probably chromed, which might throw off a few buyers wanting it OEM, but I'd say the look pretty decent.
