I have a set of 7.5" wheels right now and just bought a set of 8.5" wheels. I am going to make 2 sets out of them and create 2 staggered sets. I have seen them go for $1000-$1200 on ebay. I will let them go for less. Send me a message if your interested. I will email you pics next week when the wheels arrive. Thanks Lee | | | 05-12-2008, 12:13 AM | #2 | Senior Member Join Date: Oct 2005 Location: Quad Cities, Iowa Posts: 2,110 | $1000-$1200..... they typically sell for around half that just so you know. If they dont have tires $500 would be a good starting place for ya. Good luck. __________________ "Drive Fast and Take Chances" | | | 05-12-2008, 12:18 AM | #3 | Senior Member Join Date: Jan 2008 Location: detroit Posts: 157 | if you can find me a set for 500 (staggered set), then I will believe you. I have been looking for a few months now. i have not found any staggered sets for anything less than a grand. | | | 05-12-2008, 12:59 AM | #5 | Senior Member Join Date: May 2007 Location: Damascus, Maryland Posts: 434 | Quote: Originally Posted by cooljess76 | Course he did.

The other guy got them for a dollar more. I think you are thinking of those people who have a buy it now price of 1200 and wait for suckers to pay that. | | | 05-12-2008, 03:37 AM | #7 | Moderator Join Date: Dec 2006 Location: SoCal318ti Posts: 1,574 | Sounds like small_m is going to have a hard time selling the rims here | | | 05-12-2008, 03:39 AM | #8 | Senior Member Join Date: Jan 2008 Location: detroit Posts: 157 | well, I guess thats one example!

For five or six hundred you're going to get what you see in the photos, someone's curb trashed, maybe straight (maybe not), pecked up, clearcoat worn wheels featuring faded M-stickers and bad center caps. For more than a grand you can get a straightened, repainted, properly clearcoated, commercially refinished wheel that is in like new condition. Again, all depends on what you want on your car. I couldn't sleep at night if my Contours looked like the ones in the photos but that's just me. | | | | Currently Active Users Viewing This Thread: 1 (0 members and 1 guests) | | Posting Rules | You may not post new threads You may not post replies You may not post attachments You may not edit your posts HTML code is Off | | | |
