Guy I'm buying my '86 951 off of has a set of original 16" phone dials, with decent tires on 'em (the brand/model escapes me at the moment, but they're practically new and semi-sticky.)

He offered to let me have 'em with the car for an extra $500, along with an extra set of PF97 brake pads, new-in-box.

Sounds kind of steep if you ask me, but I guess I wouldn't mind having an extra set of wheels kicking around. Is it worth it?

Not picking the car up for a few days, told him I'd think about the extra wheels.

About $300 if in decent shape with usable tires.

The PF97's are pretty expensive new ($200+). Can always flip them if need be.

PF 97s for early turbo are about $130 an axle. FYI.

$500 seriously? ive sold them for that w/ no tires and no brake pads. Jump on it!

+1. 15s/16s for the earlier models can bring more $$$ than the 87 and later era 944s as there simply fewer available. $500 for a full round with tires does not sound that unreasonable to me. Figure ~$3-400 for the rims depending on the condition...

I sold early offset phones with crappy tires for $500. It only took one day on craigslist. That's a deal for early offset, but the lates are worth less.

Sweet - thanks for all the feedback! After a few of the posts here, I decided to take 'em.
