$40 for trx wheels and tires... is it worth it.

[carbed87]

some guy on craigslist is selling them with tires, i thought they'd be cool just to have around (you really can't beat $40 for a whole set of wheels and tires) mabye they'd be good spares or something... anyways, are they even worth $40

If I didn't have any I would buy them, but thats because my car came with them. Are the tires good?

 

[carbed87]

decent. i know they're metric, so it'll be really expensive to replace them, but i figured i'd mabye give them a good polish, fool around with them on my car, then turn 'em out.

From a collector/restorer standpoint, buy them....who knows what they'll be worth in a few years. But, from a practicality standpoint they're virtually useless unless you're restoring.

buy...

I'd buy 'em, clean 'em up and resell them immediately on eBay. You should be able to at least double your money.

Set one

Set two

lol yeah, i know, but $40 for a complete set of working wheels is just to good to pass up.

I have a set that needs refinnished. I wish someone would start making some tires for them so they wouldn't be so expensive. You can get trx tires from coker tire but they are NOS michelins and every one that is sold drives the price higher. I think the smallest size they had was over $200 a tire.

what are trx wheels anyway...?

They came on 79-84 mustangs with the TRX suspension package. they were metric 390mm.

oooooh if i owned an '82 GT i'd have to leave it stock looking, at least for shows. This one...i have to believe this is an old pic from when the car was new...i've never seen an '82 GT THAT clean...makes my eyes tear up.

I'd like to get a set my 84 1/2 GT convertable. I want some nice ones to put on it for shows.

I wish they were reproduced in bigger standard sizes because IMO they look awesome and would look pretty good 16" or 17" with 275s.

I've thought the same thing....there were a lot of tribar style wheels, even with pretty much the same style, but i really HATE tribar rims....i don't know if i'd like it or not. I think the reason i'd like the originals is just because it IS original.

The TRX look quite a bit differen't than tri-bars and those ugly wheels that came on sn95 v6s.

Yeah....get some custom made and post pics



I always wanted those center caps on 10 holes.

Someday........ There was a guy on foureyedpride a while back talking about having some made, and there have been a few threads about cutting out the centers and welding them into 15" or 16" wheels.
