What should I do with these 968 wheels?
I got this set in barter. I wish I took cash instead, once I saw the condition.
At this point, I'm not sure what to do with them. I have enough wheels so I want to sell these. Any racers out there want a banged up set of 968 16" wheels? I suck at refinishing wheels silver, BTDT and I suck. I could do black or something, get them done professionally (probably not worth it for 968 wheels), etc...?

I got a set of 4 7x16s for $100. You are right, they don't resale for much these days. They also fit on 964s (well, 964 came with 6 and 8x16 same style wheel). VW crowd might be interested in them too.

Good point, I forgot VW guys like some p-car wheels.
They are straight and roadworthy. Just rashed.
89VWdieselGolf, did you have to do any repair or retouch work to prep the wheels, or were they already clean? I hesitate to paint these wheels because of all the sanding, bondo, and sanding it will take to make them look as good as yours.

I think I have the same wheels on my early car with huge spacers for them to work
I like the look
I was asked by local VW guys if I was ever to sell them, to let them know
one of my 8's might have a little bend in it, I'll have to have that checked out ... if you were closer, I would be definitely interested in picking these up from ya

I had to sand them down.... didnt use bondo or any thing because that are just my track wheels. I only finished with 400 grit too
