Default 993 speedline targa wheels?

Hey guy's what is a decent set of used original speedline 993 targa wheels go for with some 80% used rubber on them or without rubber for that matter to keep shipping down?

Thanks

Would they be the '97 version? Wheel enhancent just told me they get mid $4k for a new set.

So the going rate for a good used set of these 17" x 7" x 9" that really only need fresh rubber is $800

Wow! Huge price difference from new to used. So people really don't like them.

It has to do with the fact they are 17" wheels I think. I have a set stacked in my garage, and have the 19' RUFs on the car. I do not like cleaning the little bolts, they are hard to get clean. The only reason I have the original set is that if I ever sell the car, I will sell the RUF's seperately, since they are worth way more that way.

Cheers,

Mike

Here is the funny part...after storing the Targa wheels and putting a set of 19" RUF wheels onto the car, I now spend more time washing the wheels because they have so much air space between the spokes I can easily reach to wash the inside of the rim..... now it takes longer than before!

And along with cleaning the inside comes even more scraped/cut knuckles!!

well, for the 964, the 17s are perfect. For my car, they fit well, and I like the look.

I have the Speedline 17" on my Cayman. I like it as I have much wider and cheaper tire choices, and the Cayman is my economy ride. I don't think I will do 17" on my 993 though.
