914World.com _ 914World Garage _ Value of 15X5.5 Empi 8 Spokes?

Posted by: fitsbain May 5 2006, 06:11 AM

I was bidding on some EMPI 8 spokes on EVILBAY and someone finially beat me out. I'm wondering what there value is so I know if I should bid more. What do you think?

Samba.com has a classified section of wheels only and there is always several sets on there at any given time with prices.

if used, I'd say $50-75 per rim.....you can buy them brand new for about $130 each, look in a Hot VW mag, be prepared to run limited tire size or be willing to molest the rear fender wells a little due to improper offset.

SO with 205 50 15's they willn't fit?

How much "adjustment" is needed?

$1k (minimum) worth of body damage just to run wider tires. $50 to 70 per rim is very optimistic. i think the last set of ones (ok condition)i sold at a swap meet went for $120 for a set of 4. i was happy to get it too.
