Does anyone know what type of rims these are? My friend has a set he wants to sell (he got these with his 911 but doesn't know anything about them) the rims any ideas what and how much they are worth?

Thanks for the help.

Regards,

James

Gotti's for sure. 100% sure

T.C.

Depending on the condition of all the wheels, they are worth $100 to $250 apiece.

T.C.

Wow that was quick! Thanks!

I had a set of 4 lug Gotti wheels on my 74 914. They were cool, only set I've ever seen. I bought them from another member here.

Like these?

Somebody around here on craigslist has been trying for a while to sell a Gotti set like those, only white centers. At $750 now.

Are you sure those are actual Gotti wheels and not Gotti nockoffs?

That doesn't look like the Gotti logo (that star with the trail sort of like the "The More You Know" PSA logo, and it looks like they say SSA on the spoke opposite the star).


EDIT

Ok, after a bit more research that's 55A and apparently there are some Gotti wheels with the star logo. At least this image I found is labled Gotti
http://www.nceuromotorsports.com/gallery2/...1-1/gotti11.jpg and looks like the same star logo on it.

A couple other pics

EDIT EDIT
Ok, more research ... not Gotti but instead Etoile
Found a thread on the Pelican forum http://forums.pelicanparts.com/showthread....threadid=206127
pic from the thread


Apparently Etoile was a wheel manufacturer that may have been bought by Gotti or bought Gotti(?) Info is sketchy at best on Google. That Pelican thread is the most info I could find.

These are the Gotti's I have that sale pending.

Goggle is your friend.

Your Gotti's are still available new from gbsalpine.com

Over $425 apiece

Except the wheels jesiv posted about are NOT actual Gotti wheels and therefore aren't worth as much (at least not according to the discussion over on the Pelican forum).

His wheel has different stamping than the Etoile. His has 2 stamps on paddles, the ad you cite has 3. The Gotti shown in the thread has the same 2 paddle stamps.

Disclaimer: I don't know anything about the wheels, the above is simply an unbiased observation.

But, Etiolle = Gotti as does Ronal.

I was not saying that the wheels are worth $425 apiece, just that they are still available as are the individual parts (ie the seal)

And don't believe everything that goes on over at Pelican. Too many members that think they know everything about everything, but really don't know squat. Other members take some minutia and it becomes the truth.

T.C.

Except that one of the stamps is clearly the Etoile logo (as seen in the black and white ad).


I'll agree that the Pelican forum can't be considered the definitive source on anything (no forum can) however the Etoile ad that was posted there (that I re-posted here) is enough proof for me that the wheels jesiv posted about are indeed Etoiles and not Gottis.

That said, I have no way of knowing if that makes them better, worse or the same quality and as such more or less valuable and I only assumed less valuable because of the statement made by RickM over on the Pelican forum so take that for what its worth (I don't know Rick, so I don't know how good a source he is).

One more "opinion"... they are Etoile wheels. My first thought when I saw the picture was Gottis, but they are clearly Etoiles. Same wheel... Gotti made them first, then Etoile. I'm not sure if they made it as far as Ronal.

I would expect that Etoiles would be worth slightly less than Gottis. Either way, they are a nice set of wheels with a period look. I remember drooling over some very high end cars with Gottis on them as a kid... BMW M1 among them.

But it's not like Gotti's are worth a fortune, especially compared to Fuchs.

T.C.

No, but they look like they could be lighter than Fuchs.

And if there's any life left in those Comp T/A R1s, WIN!
