TRX's - Rated PG-13 (For Penetration References)

I got a set of TRX from a 83 GT mustang. I am paying 200 for all 5. I was wondering if someone could take the pic of one of the tire and put it on the thunderbird, basicly photoshop it and r post it on this pforum thanks. Let me know if I am getting a good deal.

Does anyone know how I can fix the dint.

$200? Ouch. People usually give those things away as tires for them are $$$$$$$

Dude, if you're paying $200 for a set of utterly useless TRX wheels (and bent ones, at that!) you're a fool. There's just no polite way of saying it.

TRX rims use a unique tire that has been out of production for 20 years. You cannot use 14, 15 or 16" tires. You MUST use TRX-specific 390mm tires. Unless those rims come with brand new tires they're worthless.

Seriously. You wanna find out what TRX wheels are worth? Call your local s yard and find out what aluminum is going for by the pound. Then find out what the wheels weigh. Multiply the two together, then subtract the cost of de-mounting the tires that are on them, and you have your TRX wheel value. We're talking $20 range here.

Besides the hard to find, $$$$$, too short tires (that you'll never find while on a road trip if needed), ... they aren't very pretty either. 

Guess each to his own ... but around here, a TRX wheel will bring $15 as s.

If you want to hold on to them for 30 -50 years and you happen to come across someone that is restoring a mustang that HAS to have those rims you could make your money back. I was quoted $300-320 a tire about 4 years ago. Prices could only go up on a tire that isnt used.

Or you could just wait for a sucker to pay $200 for them again...

I only have ONE thing to say....search owns all.

Whether here, or google, or whatever makes your day...fergawdsakes, look around before you throw money at parts.

Hope those wheels came with lube, because man...you got ass-raped.

(And I thought when I paid 25 bucks for 4 of mine I was gettin shafted...sheesh!)

Well,until the "ass-raped" remark,we were still rated "G".I think that makes this thread rated PG-13 now.Could be good.There's potential in this thread for some action........I just hope no more "ass-raping".
