16" Wheels @ Carlisle?

Hello all,

Just looking to see if anyone has some nice 16" alloys they could bring to Carlisle. Have a very nice set of Columbas, but one is bent and one is slightly rashed. I know most throw away Columbas, so if anyone has a mint set for cheap ;)...

Also would consider Perfos, Meteors, and Satellites. Not sure how much I can scrounge up by then, but post up prices or PM me. No tires preferrably, just the wheels :).

Thanks,

Joe

Joe,

There is PLENTY of sidewall on 205 50 16 but I understand...

To make it more confusing, two tires are mounted, and the other two arent. But I will loose too much money on the set if I split the tires/wheels and $520 for 4 mint perfos and 4 new tires is a steal imo :)

well the 55s rub the fenders on my 850 thats for sure ...not even lowered.. I was planning on the 50's for my next set (which I'll need in a month or so ... for the perfos on my 850..) ... I dont recall any issues running the 50s on my old 94 .. I may be interested in the tires if u want to sell him the wheels greg.. I wont be at carlisle tho, would have to ship em..and I already have 2 sets of perfos so wont be needing those... :P

No there's not (much sidewall)

Why do you think Volvo changed to 55s after about 6 months of owners bending rims and complaing about how harsh they were

LOL... 55 profile makes the handling disappear.

Car has 195/65R15's now, so even a 55 would be stiffer. Handles pretty well for how I drive, adding the rear sway helped a lot (didn't have one at all from the factory)...

BTW, did you sell all of the wheels from the R's you were parting?

Thanks,

Joe

True... I hated the 15" snows on my 850. That's why I went to 16" snows and then 17" snows, I'm running 45 profile next winter haha!

I sold the R wheels. Just got rid of the meteors last week actually.

still got my minty comets with 2 new tires: 0 miles, unmounted, and two basically new tires mounted with less than 1k miles :) $520

You mean the Perfo's? :lol:

I'd love to, but don't need the tires. I know you don't want to break them up, so I'll have to pass...

Thanks,

Joe

I have 6, 4 are decent from what I recall; no tires.

Hmmm...think they might look off on my S70, but thanks for the offer!! :)
