found someone parting out his 02 SS and am really interesting is switching out my rims for his, they look just like:

I emailed asking his price for numerous parts, only thing he had left I was interested in was the rims and he quoted me $100, im assuming each but really no clue what sort of price to be looking at with these. Wanted to get a better idea before I reply back looking for up close pics to check quality.

Any help would be awesome

 

also assuming both my stock rims and his are 16" and i can reuse my rubber?

 

Almost 100% sure those diamond rims are 17" so you'd need new tires. And assuming they're in good condition, $100 a wheel is reasonable. These rims are often quite sought after and can fetch a decent amount of money. Just make sure they're not all beat up or anything.

 

crap just doubled checked and mine are 16

 

just read a post of someone talking about their rims

"They are the 16" diamond cut rims that came on the pace car edition."

so there is still a slight chance the ones im looking at could fit :P but doubtful that his are the pace car ones

 

Thought yours were 16" like i said earlier, i'm almost positive the ones you're looking at at 17" just measure to be sure. Or you'll just have to get new tires and have your speedometer re calibrated.

 

yea mine are 16, im waiting to hear back from the seller for his size - thanks for all the help btw

 

he says his are also 16s score!! now to try to talk him down in price :P still have yet to get a good look at the rims so tiny bit skeptical

 

If the wheels are in decent condition and you can get them for about $75 ea., that would be a nice price. $100 is about top dollar to me. Be prepared to walk away and he may offer you the better deal your after. I have bought some of the diamond cut 16" wheels for about $60 or so on eBay. It's a hit and miss thing, but they do come up. Bundle them like Frank on the American Picker's show...

 

sounds good! the guy is a decent drive out from where i am but if all goes well i should be going through his area anyways in the new few weeks, so that should make saying no a lot easier
