Man I love those wheels on a fox...

 

[Head Paneer]

I like those wheels enough to buy them even though I don’t have a car to put them on yet (I will someday).

Too bad, I still need a set of wheels for the other car or I would consider these Sterns.

 

[FASN8N]

Any predictions on price. I bet $3k+

 

[saleen065]

If someone pays $3K for them, I will faint and feel real lucky for what I paid for mine. hehehehe

 

[marcus95]

Oh man.
George, I was waiting for you to respond to this post.

 

[saleen065]

They are already over what I paid for mine! "I'm so lucky, Oh so lucky!" hehehhee

 

[FASN8N]

George,

You stole your set!

 

[88FoxSaleen]

someday my car will have these wheels ;-)

George,

You stole your set!

I don't think I would go as far as say "Stole" at leat my wife won't agree with that but I did get them for far less then I've ever heard anyone buying a set for. I know that I could definitely make a serious profit if I ever sold them.

 

[BlackSaleenS281]

No doubt those wheels are nice. I wonder if they make a 4 lug in that style? I have a '86 vert I would love to have them on.

 

[Rerun]

Sick, if I had the cash I'd grab em. Already up to 2k+ :damnit:

 

[saleen065]

As far as I know the 3 piece STERNS only came in 5 lug. I've seen them in 18" on ebay before. But only once.

 

[saleen065]

Man I am so shocked they sold for $5000.00!!! I guess the value of mine just went up considerably! OH YEAH!

 

[sal07b]

You've got to be kidding me! I like those wheels, but 5K is a little rediculous. Oh well, it's all about finding someone that really wants them...

 

[Saleen Mike]

$5000 Reserve? Why else would the new buyer bid over and over to beat themsevles?

Mike is correct.

To be honest I remember that Ebay id bidding on other Saleen items including the red car that went along with this auction the first time it sold months ago. I think that mangeria6 bid was the last legit bid.

Forget about the tires look at it this way. For a similar 3 piece wheel by HRE, Forgeline or Kinesis you are going to pay at least a grand each for 4 wheels and most importantly they are not Sterns. I would have given the guy 4 large for the wheels but he would have to cut those tires off them first so $3,800 for the set with tires is not a bad deal.


Oh yea, the winner has ZERO feedback. Looks like a shill bidder to me. That's why I have a love-hate relationship with ebay. I'd say 10-1 we will see these wheels come back on ebay within a month.

 

[sal07b]

Good catch Marcus. I didn't even look into it that far. He's stupid, he should have taken the $3800...

 

[saleen409]

I bought a set of Sterns off ebay a few years ago for about a 1/4 of what these went for. I wonder what they would be worth after they are refinshed and the centers have been bored and resized. I think these Sterns were shipped in from Japan. My understanding is that they use them on the 300Z over there.

Yes.

They are from Japan. Saleen had them made for them in our mustnag offsets. They are a lot of guys who run them on their Fairladys. Also, they are a huge hit with the Supra.

I knew something wasn't right with that auction. $5K for the wheels and tires is way outragious. I'm with Marcus, I would have him dump the tires instantly. When I bought mine they had tires on them and I told the guy to lose the tires. I bought new rubber for mine anyway. It will be interesting to see if they go back up on ebay. I'm guessing not as the guy will no doubtfully know he's been found out.


Center boring the STERNS to fit the Saleen isn't a hard task, took me all of 30 minutes to do them on the Lathe at work. Being a machinist helps too, hahahaha......
