Hi all,
I realise that this may not be the right forum for this, but the for sale guidlines are quite clear about EOI's so I thought I would post it here. Sorry Mods
I have recently made these wheels for a buggy project, which has now been shit-canned before it was even finished. So I have 5 of these wheels sitting around with no use for them.
If I were to sell these, who would I market them towards? I am assuming the rock crawling guys, or winch challenge guys would have a need for massively strong wheels?
Specs are as follows:
17x9 with 10mm thick steel centres.
Bead strengthening rings front and rear.
FULL 9" of offset!!!
They have been machined, and run 100% true
Any ideas on who would want them??
Pete

Mate, the best thing you could do is decide a price for them and stick em in the For Sale section.
It won't matter what specific purpose someone might want them for, just pick a price and post em.
Someone will buy them for sure.
Nice Rims by the way...

How thick is the rim? I have some 17" bead lock rings to weld onto rims but I would like to use thicker then normal rims, like a mine spec, but they don't do 17's yet.
Nice wheels.

They are just standard outers. I bought then from Ryano
so same as the ones fourbys use.

Nice looking wheel
As others have said, set a price with what you think they are worth and advertise them you should sell them easy enough (if price similar to competitors....ie. F Rims by Fourbys)

just a thaught....
you could aproach some one like STAUN who put out wheel/internal bead lock packages (internationaly) or a corperate like TJM, ARB, Oppisite Lock,On Track, Wizzard ect to see if one of those companys would take them on as their own branded wheel.
Good luck with it, they look gr8

That would be 4.5" negative offset or zero backspacing.
A true 9" rim with 9" offset (assumed negative) would have the inside bead 4.5" out from the wheel mounting surface.

Yeah the bolting face is flush with the rear edge of the rim.
