I sold my last Benz so it's time to sell parts off. My prized aluminum steelies that I've been selling for years from $300 to $500 (yes really) per wheel. I have some with tires mounted on them - $200 each and you have to take it with tire. Altadena CA I am NOT going to ship at this price, nor am I going to get the tires off at this price. These are the same wheels as I have on eBay (user srallen). Except with tires.   These are the 14 x 6 wheels.   $200 each.

Yes.  I have been quiet about it.  It's kind of a life change that is happy / sad.

Bummer you won't ship.

Not that hard via grey hound.  Just wrap them in saranwrap with some round cardboard cutouts on the wheel face.

I'll ship with or without tires, but not for $200 each.  My labor to wrap these and take them to greyhound is a PITA the way you describe.  Would be easier to have the tires removed and ship USPS or UPS in boxes wrapped with pipe insulation.   Which I will happily do for $350 each plus shipping.

Hey Johnny.  At this price and in this thread I'm avoiding any extra work.  I regularly have sold these for $300 to $500 each (without the tires) so this is me trying to sell some stuff cheap and do as little work as possible.  I can say that they wheels are in good condition but could have minor road rash (or might not!).   Scott

Hey Scott,
I just saw this thread.
Thanks for all the parts and your help over the years.
I bought the 5.5 inch wheels from you a long time ago.
They made a huge difference in the way my Pagoda feels.
So much so, that when I sold my Anthracite Pagoda, I kept the wheels and put them on my current one.
Good luck selling !!

Thanks Mark!  I've bought more than one 300D for the purpose of getting the wheels and then selling with Bundt wheels...   :-)  Too much work for me now these days though.

Thanks Jon!  I suspect I'll still be around for a few years.  I have a lot of parts and I still like reading the stuff and providing info when I have it...   Scott
