Title: What are turbo coupe wheels worth?
Post by: Silver88tc on July 06, 2010, 03:38:56 AM
I just put some pony wheels off a 92 mustang on my tc so I have no use for the stock wheels so just wondering what they're worth? If they are't worth much i'll probably just s em since it would be a pain in the arse to ship them

They may be worth more to someone needing a set than for just the weight in aluminum.

What shape are they in? If they're really nice, and have all the caps....

Personally, I's s the Pony's, and keep the Snowflakes, but that's just me :punchballs:

I saw a set sell for $240 plus $80 shipping, for a set that had been repainted all silver. That is what I am going to do if I ever get the time

craigslist is your friend.....;)

100 bucks for a set of 4 un-damaged is about what they go for around here.

I guess i'll throw em on craigslist and see, they're decent at best kinda scuffed up and hazy but not bent or anything, centercaps are all good though.. If they weren't so hideous I woulda kept em on it but yuck

Personal opinion I suppose but I think the pony wheels look way better on my car than the snowflakes

I agree. When the Snowflakes are clean and without clearcoat problems and paint peeling, they are hard to beat.

Car looks great ! Are those wheels reconditioned or super clean originals ?

I also like the Ponys better (if the choice is snowflakes or Ponys).I had a set of polished snowflakes on my last T-Bird,and they were O.K.,but to me....my own opinion,they seem like there's too much going on in that 16 inch circle. Too "complicated" or "cluttered" so to speak for these cars.But,that's just my own opinion.It all comes down to what an individual likes.A lot of people may not like my wheels,but,I like them,so,that's really all that matters.

I striped and sanded the wheels that are on my car.

There's something especially gross about having Muskrat emblems on your Thunderbird. I would look for some unadorned centre caps soon.

Remind me to never again take a drink of Dr Pepper immediately before reading one of your posts! :rollin:

Muskrat...hell yes...I love it! :bowdown::D

Well, Cobra is Ford, but not just Mustang. That would be kind of like using GT-R emblems on a 240, though. Or like the late 90's Camaro I saw the other day with a Yenko SS stripe (it said Yenko SS too), and stock wheels.

Cobra R rims are on every Mustang in the world. I hate 5 spoke rims. I know the FR500 rims are basicly 5 spoke but I like them better. My choice is a set of aftermarket 93 Cobra rims in chrome. When I have the cash I want to buy a set for my Bird.
