Looking for (1) 17x9 SS 10-spoke and (1) 17x9.5 Corvette sawblade. The cheaper the better, these are just rain/storage wheels. Ugly as hell is fine as long as they aren't cracked/bent.

Just trying to make 2 sets of wheels whole again.

On a rant, who the fuck pays $185 just to get a wheel TIG'd up and re-finishing is another $85? My local places can go pound sand. I want the wheel welded, I don't want to buy your machine... I only paid $150 for the set of wheels! I'll stop drill it and grind it out for you, think you can get it to around $50? (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/banghead.gif)

In response to your rant I wouldn't weld them up anyways. Not with the loading and fatigue that a race car puts on wheels.

I'd chance it for rains. I've got a pair of beater chrome C5 Z06 fronts that will be going into rain duty eventually. Hydrogen embrittlement anyone?

I clean/inspect my wheels after each weekend. So, I have a false sense of security that I'd catch it before it cost me money. (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

I think there are 2 10 spoke ss wheels on thirdgen.org for $160 I saw them last week, they were in jersey.

Thanks for the heads up. I'll probably pass. I only paid $150 for 4, but now I think I know why...

If you get down to Mid Ohio, I have 4 sets of sawblades and one Corvette. Do you have machined finish or painted? I have one set of machined and 3 sets of painted. One of the painted sets is a fairly ugly set of old autocross wheels. You know where I live (they still have old race tires on them for "roll it around the shop duty"), come by and bring $150 and I'll load them in the truck for you (if you want a better price, bring beer and we'll fire up the grill and tell a few lies).

Painted, but I'm not particular. When I get a full set together, I'll probably paint them dark since they always get filthy anyway. Not planning a Mid-O trip this year, but I'll definitely give you a heads up next time we're going to swing through.
