Default What do you guys think I could get for 2 17in. GS wheels with bad chrome?

I had 2 rims that had slow leaks for a period of time and brought them back to discount tire where I got new tires several times to have them fixed but they kept leaking, so I put fix-a-flat in both rims after a while of dealing with it. Well the fix-a-flat ate away the chrome on the 2 wheels and the chrome started to peel bad. About a month ago I was in an accident and scraped up the wheels a little bit but I peeled the chrome worse and I had the 2 rims replaced but still had to pay my deductable. I am just curious to see if they are worth anything to anybody. They are both straight, the chrome is just chipping, I also have my spare chrome one which the chrome is perfect but the rim is bent slightly. I know there are places that refinish chrome wheels or straighten bent ones but just curious to find out what 2 rims that need to be refinished to bent back are worth. Thanks for your input.

Default Thanks

That sounds good to me, thanks. I don't think they would be worth any more than that for sure.

Default You are correct!

That is my Super Coupe I love to hate. Had it since 97 and could never part with it cause of what I have into it, love the look and the speed just hate the ford problems. Heres an older pic of it but its lowered now.

Default Very, very cool...

I've had one since 1991 (an '89) and it has over 210k on it, still runs new and original HGs too (knock wood). Kinda neat we both have SC's and GS's. The car looks sweet, nice wheels!


Heres a link to pics of mine at a recent Ford show in Florida. May not want to bother if you have dialup- there are about 6 pics to load. Cheers, Dan H aka "onequiksc"

Default Small World

You probably on SCCoA alot huh I think I have seen you there alot, my name on there is ERAMOS funny small world, your car looks clean especially with havin so many miles. You are lucky to have such a reliable SC. One day after I move out of my parents place and get my own garage I will get it back to perfect and finish what I started with the HP mods.
