20" blitz rims. Is $100 a fair price? I'm after a set for my C15A but it's too much for me especially taking into account getting them here...

C15A had 16" rims fitted unless you are after a bit more road speed ?
$100 is a bit steep especially when the tyres aren't useable

I agree, $100 sounds like way too much, considering the extra costs for transport and disposal of the damaged tyre, mind you these are cast IRON rims.....
Perhaps I want adv. for rims within the distance you are willing to cover posted on MLU.
Alternativley,when these rims fail to sell, contact seller and make an offer..

If they are truly cast iron rims, they are either worth a great deal because they are the only cast iron blitz rims know to remain or worth nothing because they should be stamped steel which is considerably less brittle than many forms of cast iron.
Of course, to my eyes the image looks like a garden variety stamped steel rim - albeit in fairly good shape externally (I have no idea if the Australian wheels are subject to the same rot along the line where rim meets disc that we see in eastern Canada).

yeah it's got 16s, nothing wrong with them but after a bit more ground clearance, and more road speed wouldn't hurt either. And I think they need 20s to fill the wheel arches to make them look complete!

IMO they're not cast iron, I do plan on putting an add up just need to have some money ready, but I might as well contact him after they fail to sell too

Harry,

What state are you in?

If Queensland, I may be able to help you locate 20" wheels. I wouldn't expect them to cost $100 each, either!

damnit... Nope central NSW... How far from the border? Maybe I could get a freight quote. I'll PM you in fact
