Three Piece. Racing Hart C2 19"x8" et. +38

BIMMERPOST / Classifieds
Asking Price:
None

Item Interest
This sale is for wheels only. The tires will be removed for shipping.

Truth be told, I am not really sure what the market value is for these wheels.
I could not locate another sale for a similar setup in the last 5 years.

It's to be noted, these are 3 piece Work Originals, NOT the remakes.

They are in outstanding, original condition.
I purchased these from the original owner, who had them installed on his e90, as summer wheels.

There are no bends, cracks, or curb rash.
2 years ago, the previous owner plastidipped the wheels.
Sort of a blessing and a curse. While it's pretty sacrilegious to plastidip a 3 piece wheel, it has kept the wheels from deteriorating.

With that said, the wheels should be refinished. I removed the plastidip from one of the wheels to uncover the condition, and they are an honest 7/10 for overall finish.

I bought these to have them rebuilt to a staggered 9 and 10 inch set for my e91.
I have since decided to sell the car.

I don't want these to be bought and just put to waste.
I would really like to see these go to someone that knows what they are buying, and will rebuild them to more than their original glory.

I am open to reasonable offers, but I am not going to give these away, as I know the value is only going to increase as complete sets become even more rare. (I encourage anyone to locate another set, so I have a better understanding of their actual value)

If I have completely over valued these wheels, then I will listen to what more educated members have to say.

Please don't be rude and trash this thread.
I'm looking to find a good home for a really cool set of wheels.

Should that not happen, at an agreeable value, I will be happy to hold on to these wheels for a future vehicle.

$1500 OBO plus $250 shipping.

More pictures are available upon request.

Hey there,
Ive been shopping around wheels & tires for quite a bit now. I think you have some sweet wheels once refinished. But i honestly think you'll be lucky to get $500 for the set.. and thats if they were already refinished. I saw these same wheels go for $600 4 years ago.
Just my 2 cents. Take it for what its worth.
Good luck.

Thank you for the input.
I would encourage you to find another set of all original, built in Japan, 3 piece work wheels, fully reconditioned, for $500.
Then I would encourage you to buy them, and re sell them for a sizeable profit.
You cannot even buy a center cap for these wheels for less than $150.

Yeah but wheel size is extremely unpopular, who wants 19x8 ET 38??

Not many people. When you split them to refinish, you install a wider lip.
Make them a set of 8/9, 9/10, 9.5/11... or even more extreme.

These wheels aren't for being bought, fitted with tires, and mounted on the car.
They're an extremely rare set of wheels that can be customized to fit whatever scenario the new owner sees fit.

For the discerning wheel connoissuer, these wheels are special.
To a guy just looking for some affordable wheels to replace his stock setup, these are not the answer.

This does bring back some memories. I coveted some racing hart wheels back when I had my 300zx 15 years ago.

Free bump for that

They definitely have nostalgic value to them.
I had to have them when I first laid eyes on them.
Unfortunately, they're just going to sit in the garage as the car they were meant for is being sold.
