I'm tired of living in the stone age trying to race on my old 16s. I need new autocross wheels.
Appearance and style is not a factor. They just need to be structurally sound and the right offset. Well...since my budget for this is basically nonexistent, they also need to be CHEAP. I'm located in NW Arkansas and not afraid to drive (within a few hundred miles each way) for pickup. SELL ME YOUR OLD, UGLY WHEELS! (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) *EDIT* I'm looking for 17x9s. Sorry for not being clear in the title.

I'm not sure what dollar amount you consider cheap, but in June I called Billy Graham's in Alabama, www.billygrahamscamaro.com , and they have orginal style and speedline style WS6 rims for $150 each used. The rims come primarily from wrecked cars so they check the rims for true before they ship. As my rear rims are 17x 11 speedlines, courtesy of Wheels America, I wanted a stock pair to mount my 275 Nitto Drag Radials on.
If you really want to make sure the rims are true, they also have about 100 speedline take off rims from '02's that have about 5 miles on them. Apparently the company stripped and remounted the tires and sold the take offs to Billy Grahams yard. I've considered buying a set of 4 in case I ever want to show a car, but I have greater need for $700 at the moment. They have been good people to deal with, the few times I've needed parts. I am kinda glad I don't live near them as I would need a second job for all the parts I want to purchase!! P.S. I'm not dis'ing any sponsor as I don't think any of them have such an inventory of used parts; I'm just passing on information. |
