Corvette rims...

[Brian2by2]

I found a set of corvette rims for sale locally in perfect condition. They're the 5 spoke (thick, not the thin ones) triple-plated chrome rims. The guy's asking $300 for them...on ebay, I see a set going for $900. Do you think it'd be worth it to buy them at $300 and sell them for say $700 or $800?

here's a pic:

Just to let you know; most C5 owners do not like those rims. The newer Y2K-style rims will probably sell but I think the old thick spokes will have a hard time selling. Not worth the hassle IMHO.

Depends on how much money you want to make minimum.

I would:

Buy the rims

Sell them for $400 bid no reserve PICK UP ONLY!

You do minimal work and make at least $100 profit. If I had a sot at these rims, I would buy them in a second!

That will be 10% profit please.

On the other hand if someone else is also looking for these rims and lives in your area why have they not bought this set before you have?

The only reason I would only buy something that I have no need for would be if I already had it sold ahead of time.

<B>Brian</B>: if you put these on your NSX, don't get upset when people mistake it for a vette!

Neo, My Racing Hart CP-035R's have a striking resemblence to Z06 rims as it is!!

The lines are totally different between the NSX and Vette. Only a novice can mistake a Vette for a NSX.

I have a parking ticket that I saved that says: "Make: Acura Model: Corvet" (yes, its spelt that way).

Then most vette drivers are novices then. Most wave to me when I go by like they are waving to another vette.

Well, maybe they are like me and wave at cool cars that go by?

there's a lady in a vette around here that waves at me everytime she sees my car driving by.
