    I need core wheels to make my reproductions. 14 or 15 inch. 1967 thru 1980.
    The chrome on the centers must be good. Outer rim condition is not important.
    Michigan or northern OH prefered.
    $20 to $40 per wheel paid.

    Thanks

    I can have someone pick them up at BPG if I do not go, not sure yet.

    I need to know how many you have and what the 2 letter codes are on the rear outer lip where the wheel weights clip on. Codes anywhere else don't matter to me. JJ and JK are NOT application codes, only bead type of the outer rim. If they say made in Canada or are newer than 1980, they are the taller centers that I do not use for reproductions since they are not correct for early 70's or WG style.

    I'm looking for 30 to 50 wheels.

    The visible chrome surfaces on the stamped center parts MUST be good. No gouges, rust pits, or wallowed lug holes. The lug pockets and back side does not matter since I can fix those areas.

    Thanks

    I have at least 6 to 8 maybe more wheels some 14 some 15. I just need to check condition of them. If I remember right the centers were nice just the outers were bad. I Have access to a machine shop that I could cut the centers out and ship just the centers to save on shipping. If that is worth anything to you. I am assuming you cut from the inside and just cut the welds off. I can send pics so you can see conditions if wanted.

    You can send photo's, quantities, and codes to
    steve@carusoperformance.com

    I would prefer to cut them. They can be damaged when pressing them out.

    Thanks

    Will you need center caps as well???

    No caps needed.

    I only use these as donors for the centers to be cut out and installed into new 15x7 outer shells.

    Steve I have a bunch of wg's I can send. I also want you to do those motor wheel spiders. Dave Johnson is using my enclosed trailer to bring his gsx out. Should I bring them to bpg?

    If enough people commit to bring wheels to BPG, Then I'll be there. I don't want to drive there for only a few wheels.

    How many do you have to sell?

    At least 6 but I will bring 8 motor wheel spiders

    I have a bunch but most are 15s and too good to be used for cores. Even the 14s are too good but they are not worth a lot as 14s.

    I have never studied the codes. I will not be at BPG.

    Ryans-GSX Have fun, life is short.

    Steve if I know for sure your going to be at the BPG I will bring 15-25 rims but I dont want to drag these all the way up to Ohio if your not there

    I also would be willing to trade in these for a set or two to be done.

    Please PM me if you are for sure going before thursday as I will need to rent a trailer.
