wheel opinions / values (now with new pictures!)
Hey all!
I'd love some opinions.
A parts-car I bought came with some really sharp looking Konig Wheels. I hadn't intended on using them, Because I've got a new set of Rotas on my shelf waiting on tires. Once I got them all cleaned-up, they are really, really nice.
See the pictures below.
So my questions are these:
1) have y'all seen this particular wheel before? (yes, it is a true 4x98) and how do ya like it?
2) what are they worth? (Any interest here on the forum, before I ebay 'em?)

I'm no Boy-Racer..... but if I can't take every on-ramp at TWICE the posted limit.... I'm a total failure!
Re: wheel opinions and values
I like um! Id be interested in them depending upon the price and if the tires come with and what condition they are. Im suprised to see a 4x98 wheel like that. Its really different.

Re: wheel opinions and values
the tires are trash. They've got tread still, but they're all weather-checked. I wouldn't use 'em. (I put 'em on just to take the pics, and will not drive with 'em)

Re: wheel opinions and values
Well, would you like me to pm you an offer for them? Someone else might have a better idea what they are worth than I would, and I would appreciate the appraisal. Also, I was wondering what it might cost to ship the rims. My zip code is 68632. Any idea what they weigh? Thanks for the info.

Re: wheel opinions and values
I can ship 'em from work, and I'm guessing no more than $15/ea to ship. tops. I'll get the tires pulled-off of 'em to save weight.
Before we start talking actual selling price, let me get 'em all cleaned-up, snap some close-ups, etc etc, so that we avoid any misunderstandings and / or surprises.
that should give some time for others to chime-in on value, too.

maytag,
I like em! From what I've read those are the Konig - Holes (w/Graphite Center and Machined Lip). Manufactured pre 2008. Very nice! Let me know what you come up with on a ballpark selling price.

Re: wheel opinions / values (now with new pictures!)
So in an affort to help me make a decision if I'm keeping these or selling 'em.... I needed to see what they look like with the body coloring that's in the works.
Some of you know I'm working on a Carbon Fiber hood, and the deck-lid will be shortly after that. So wile not a traditional "flat-black-Abarth" look, it's pretty close.
So last night I ripped-off the hood and deck and sprayed 'em flat black, to see how they work together.
I'll admit, it didn't make it any easier.
I LOVE 'em. I think they look smokin' hot. But I also love the more classic look of the Rotas.
My wife says I can't keep both sets... (not like I have room anyway).....
I'm strugglin' with the decision here.

Wow, that looks really sharp on your car. If I were you, id slap on some racing tires and keep em hidden from the misses. Spare set for the track.
Re: wheel opinions / values (now with new pictures!)
I have to say..... Those look beautiful!
