Default BBS gold wheels - value?

I would like to put some original wheels on my 1984 911. Anybody have an idea of what I should ask for these gold BBS wheels? Let me know if you need a better picture of the wheels.

$200 for the set if not bent...IMHO. I don't think these are sought after anymore. 16"?

I had a set 7 & 8 x 16 just like those, couple of years ago I sold for $850. There are guys who will not pay $600 apiece for a 8 x 16 Fuchs and some who like the time period correct wheel. Jim

?!
I'll take them at that price any day of the weekn and twice on Saturday!

assuming you have all the caps and covers and they are straight you can probably fetch a very reasonable price.
I'll take them off your hands for $400!

Sorry, I've been away from the forum lately. I PM'd you all back. Still interested, but I don't want to sell these until I have some to replace them with.

Is it possible to buy some black wheels for $400 a set? Where do I start? I see all kinds of replicas on ebay, OEM, yikes, looks complicated. Can anybody help?

Oh, and the wheels are straight and as far as I can tell in perfect condition. From the service records, it looks like the wheels have less than 48K miles but more than 10K miles. I am pretty sure that this car was always a Sunday Driver, never a track car.

The tires say the following:

front: BF Goodrich Comp T/A ZR 205 55 ZR 16
rear: Radial Defender ZRX +4 R225 / 50 ZR 16 91W M+S

Tires look good - a little wear at the front corners.

Does that help?

pics tell the whole story.

as for wheels to replace them with, depends on what you want.

these guys are a branch of TSW wheels and only make Porsche specific fitments: http://www.victorequipmentwheels.com/
nice wheels and very reasonable in price but only 18" + sizes

for smaller sizes i'd almost say OEM is probably going to be your cheapest option.
something like a D90 or D91.. would look good on there.

Thanks for the reply but you have to slow it down for me. Sorry, I'm a total newb.

D90 D91?

I actually was just hoping for some black Fuchs.

Can you reccommend where to get some - maybe with tires?

I suppose that pics wouldn't be any good to you if taken while the wheels are on the car. Shall I wait till I get them off?

You must be a paying Member to post items for sale but asking for pricing advice is permitted.

Thanks for understanding.

More than trying to post to sell them, I am looking for information on how to buy replacements. Where is a good source for Black Fuchs? Does anyone have experience with a source? I looked through the advertisers on the forum but couldn't find what I was looking for. - maybe I just missed it?
