Trx rim score September 08, 2012, 09:57:48 PM I just nailed these from CL for $60 for the set + $50 shipping. These are super nice with caps, and refinishing mine would have cost me over $350-$400. I can mod my current set to run a standard size tire and keep the clean originals for car shows and such.http://detroit.craigslist.org/wyn/pts/3230835664.html Quote Selected

I don't discard anything. We all wish we had a magic mirror to show us what holds value and whats . I junked a 84 Elan many years ago with awesome parts thinking it would all be available new from the dealer forever.....who knew? Quote Selected

Trx rim score Reply #8 – September 14, 2012, 10:39:02 PM Hi, Im new to the site. Ive had my bird for about 10 years. Ive got a set of TRX wheels I picked up cheap a few years ago. They are a lil rough, and the lips have been curb checked and no center caps. Would be great candidates for a modification project like what is linked. Would be interested in trading them for a spare rim or 2, extra center caps, or solid center caps for my stock 14 inch wheels. Or possibly any other nice Bird parts someone might have I could use. I bought the TRX with intentions of using them, but cant find tires locally for them lol. Was thinking about selling them for s. Saw this post and figured Id offer them up. Quote Selected

No welds at all.....the centers are cut out and then a larger wheel stud is used so the centers can rest on top of the new rim like a wheel cover and when tightened up the lugs hold it in place.
