Title: FOR SALE...17x9 and 16x8 Cobra R wheels....
Post by: vinnietbird on July 16, 2008, 09:03:30 PM
I have a line on a set of chrome wheels I want,and these will have to go.The rears have no curb rash,the fronts are nice,but one small area of rash,about an inch long (no pics yet).The fronts have 3 week old Riken Raptor tires on them (about 300 miles,and they will cost a hundred bucks more for the pair).The rears will have no tires.I can have the tires from the fronts removed.I'll be asking $175.00 plus actual shipping charges for the wheels.No caps included.They can be had from American Muscle (ask for the small caps).Any interest?

They are 4 lug,and yes,they'll fit without any mods.I also have the quad shocks.No worries.All you need are center caps and lug nuts,and tires.Only the rears if you want my front tires.It may be a week or two.I have to get my new wheels and two front tires.

2 16's and 2 17's.As far as shipping,I don't know right now.Without tires,I'd guess around a hundred bucks for all 4.

To ship just the wheels,I'd guess a little under a hundred dollars,with the tires,not sure.I am supposed to get my wheels today.What I'm probably going to do is this.I'm going to charge a flat rate of $100.00 for shipping.That way,that'll cover packaging and shipping,and if the cost goes over that,I'll take the hit.If the cost is actually well under that,I will be more than happy to refund the difference.SO,wheels are $175.00 plus $100.00 shipping.

As far as with the tires,That I'll see.I'll take a wheel/tire combo down to UPS and have them get me a dollar figure for that.

Hey Vinnie, if nobody buys them before I get my tax return (sent it off 2 weeks ago, lol...) I'll take em for sure. I'd just drive up to Ardmore to pick em up.

Well,my wheels are supposed to be here today,then I should have them on Wednesday,and I'll have better costs by then.If they are still here when you get your money,c'mon up,or we can meet half way and have lunch.

17x9 and 16x8 Cobra R wheels.Smaller for the front,bigger for the back.I just know that as soon as I get them off,I want them gone.I need the money for more work on the Sport.

Ooooh,my mistake.They are all 17x9's.They are now on the car and I'll have shipping numbers tomorrow sometime.I am flat rate shipping just the wheels for $100.00,or,if anyone needs the tires left on the fronts,I have a wheel and tire in the car to get an estimate with.If the rims are shipped with the tires,there will be a 17x9 wheel,and a 16x8 wheel/tire in each box.

Pics will be coming this evening.Shipping charges are as follows after my trip to UPS today......

4 wheels...$275.00 shipped

4 wheels/2 tires with virtually no wear (3 weeks old,barely 300 miles on them)......$400.00 shipped

$400.00 is two 17x9 wheels,2 16x8's with the new tires,$50.00 for shipping the wheels,and $55.00 each for the wheel/tires.

The tires cost about $140 each,and that was with mounting and balancing,which they still are.They will just need to be aired up and installed.I let the air out before weighing them.No holes,patches or plugs,s I said,they are 3 weeks old.Perfect shape tires.

Now there's the "rest" of the story.

Actually,more than you think.For example,grab an oxygen bottle (I work in nursing car),and you can literally feel the difference between an empty and full bottle.Crazy but true.LOL.

This is one of the 16x8's.This one has the small amount of "rash".Not too bad at all.The other one has zero damage,but it does have a basically new tire on it.
(http://i216.photobucket.com/albums/cc205/Vinnietbird/DSCF3617.jpg)

One the 17x9 wheels.The other is just as good,no rash.I haven't cleaned them yet.

Here's one of them (they are all on the car).Don't pay any attention to the body,it's being worked slowly.The tape is covering the holes for the trim.

Vinnie, Those rims look real nice and should compliment your new paint job when it's finished friend. :)

For some reason that "POP" seems like a hint... New rims look great! If I still wanted to go this route I would def get them from you. I see if there is anyone around here that wants them

They are painted silver correct? I am quite interested. I want polished aluminum, but these would be great until I got 5 lug.

Post by: vinnietbird on August 01, 2008, 02:52:06 PM
They are a silverish color.I showed the only damage I could find in the pics,and it's really just superficial.If you want the front tires (still mounted and balanced),let me know,they'll raise the price over what I'm asking just for the wheels.I am shipping packages Monday morning,,and next Friday.I can probably ship them at lunch one day this week if you're in a hurry.About the tires,again,they are Riken Raptors,ZR rated,and have about 300 miles on them,if that.Just let em know.
