Need opinions..Just Curious

[Nutball]

I'd like to ask anyone's opinion. I'm looking to buy Torq Thurst wheels and new tires, but before I do, I need to know weather there is a demand for Stock T/A Chrome Wheels. I've been a member long enough here, but do not have the required posts to put something up for sale. I'm in no way doing that here. But before I go and spend the money, I would like to know if they are sellable? If there is a market for these.
If my post goes against any LS1.com policy.....PLEASE delete it.

I sold mine to another member here last year. I can't say there is a high demand but you can sell them. I've seen several Firebird (V6) guys look for them to upgrade from their ugly wheels.

Price it right & have patience and they will sell.

yep, true story... there's only so many of them around... they'll sell if the price is right!

Forgot to ask are they the 17x9's or the 16x 8's?

They are 16X8

I think you only need 3 months membership and 100 posts to sell. I should know this being a site moderator lol.

If you don't get rid of them by the time you qualify per the requirements above, post pics and a "For Sale" thread here. They'll move, eventually.

Can also try other forum sites, eBay and Craigslist.

I put mine up on craigslist in Houston many years back as spare tires. sold em as individuals first come first serve. wanted to keep one as a full size spare. got around 165 ea. got more than I think I would ve for the set as a whole.

I just sold my 17x9's to another member. If you can sell them locally the buyer will save money on shipping so you might get a few more dollars for the wheels.

I purchased a spare set of Speedlines from another member a few years ago. Just thought it'd be a good idea to have a spare set. I'm sure that someone out there wants a set.

Thanks everyone. This seems to be on hold right now. The "warden" won't let me put up the 1,300.00 first, Knowing that I might not even re-coup half of what I'll spend. I truly thought these in MINT condition would sell for more. Look like we will have to wait a little longer.

UPDATE
Looks like I don't have to wait any longer. Struck a great deal for my wheels and tires. I let the wife spend a little on what she wanted and in return I got what I wanted.
Went with Torq Thust M (chrome) - 17X10(Rear) 17X9(Front) on 275/45ZR/17
All of this for $1,200.00

Will try to sell my stock chrome T/A wheels and tires in the hopes of getting a little of what I spent

Thanks again for everyone's help

Pics when you get them mounted, please.

Bribery of the wife works most of the time for me, otherwise I just ask for forgiveness after I get it

I learned from the best....I let her feel guilty.
God knows she's done that to me many-0-times. I just use it on her now

Well, we did it. Got new wheels and tires today. I was kinda wondering why they dropped the price from 1369.00 to 1193.00. didn't find out till I got there. To keep my cost down, without telling me, they changed my wheel and tire size. 17X9 all the way around and put 255/45ZR/17's instead of the 275's we talked about. Not that I'm upset, but they could have let me make that decision, I might have waited a week or so to get the full 1369.00. Will post pics tomorrow.

[Nutball]

After a week, I've decided to change my tire size. I wasn't happy with what they gave me so.....As much as I love the Hankook tire, they don't make the size I want. I think most will agree out here that Nitto's are the way to go. I will be going with a Nitto 255/50ZR/17. I wanted the 275/40ZR but was told they might not have the clearance up front.

[tatertot91]

Should have plenty of room
275/40/17 is what comes on a ws6 stock

^^

[Nutball]

I should have known that. After they changed my original order. Seems they truly don't know their job. Well, we WILL be making another change today.

[35th-ANV-SS]

Yup. I run that size in a Nitto on my SS.
