Asking price for SSR Competition wheels?

Let me try that again, I am trying to come up with an asking price for a set of SSR Competitions in 16X7 inches with no tires. They have about 35,000 miles on them, never bent and no curb rash.

I think that they were $350.00 each when the previous owner bought them.

Thanks!

I'd think about half retail would be a good starting point.

Tirerack has them in 16x6.5 right now for $269. 11lbs is really light. They look similar to my Rota Slipstreams, which were cheaper ($125) but a couple of lbs heavier (13.5 lbs IIRC).

A person I know just got Rota Slipstreams for his other than Miata. They look really nice and are what I would buy if I were looking for wheels. Seems like a good compromise on weight and price to me.

You can check prices AND weights of Rota wheels here:

You think that all aftermarket wheels are ugly, no exceptions? Wow!

I don't like how the 1990-1993 style wheels look, but I think that the later edition OEM wheels look OK and some aftermarket wheels out there look as good or better than anything that comes stock on the best-looking cars in the world, imo.

Pat

I'm sure there are exceptions but I haven't seen any.

Yes, I'll agree with as good or better. A really fugly aftermarket wheel can look as good or better than a really fugly stock wheel, of course.

The only OK wheel on the Miata is the early steel, I haven't seen any alloy wheels that look better than a luke warm "OK".

I like these:

I figured that wire wheels were on your list of what is good-looking. I think that wire wheels are ghastly-looking on any automobile.

Also, vintage cars are fun to look at. Maintaining an inefficient dinosaur that only gets 140 horsepower out of a 2.9 liter engine is not my idea of a good thing. I'll take the more modern Miata, or another more modern car any day for my daily driving.

Pat

You have absolutely NO taste at all!

See above! ;-)

Hey, who was he calling a dinosaur anyway?!

Chris

You are confusing no taste with bad taste. One look at my wardrobe will verify the latter. :-)

My luck runs in a similar fashion.......

Pat

I stand corrected.

I have very good luck (so far), and I appreciate it!
