19x8.5/9.5 Koenig WRV (For Rebuild)

Grabbed these from Jeebus when I bought the car, but I'm lookin' to go another direction. Specs are 19x8.5/9.5 +42 5x114.3, but you're not buying these to bolt up anyway. You're buying them to rebuild and have an amazing set of wheels. The lips/barrels are welded together, so expect to go 3 piece. The wheels are in rough shape (bad refinish,, cracked barrel, etc.) but again: rebuild. Price is $1500 + shipping/fees FIRM.

$1600 for just the centers. $1500 + disassembly fee. lol.

Are you looking for an actual measurment of the face? These are reverse lip so this would generally be considered a 19" face.

What's the condition of the inner barrels can they be reused or would I need new inner barrels as well ?

they are true 3 piece, however the barrel and lip are welded together. you will need new inners and outers.

New inners and outers all around will cost minimum 1600 plus labor.. Toss in your 1600 and your at 3200 minimum!

Unless people source used barrels

Lemme see what I have at the shop

IMO rebuilding wheels was never meant to be the "cheap alternative", it was meant to bring some of the best wheels ever made back to excellent condition and give you the option of custom specifications. I tell everyone that asks that they can expect to drop about $4k to build these, but when you're done you'll have one of the best looking wheels ever made built completely to spec. I have no problem with holding onto them, in fact I'd rather do that then selll them to someone who is cheap and going to half ass them anyway. $1500 is fair and firm.

I should clarify.

I am not interested in the wheels.

I might be able to hook someone up with used barrels if need be. I would not make a dime off of them.

i assume since you are posting in my for sale thread that you must be interested in purchasing the product shown. unfortunately, i will not ship international because of the additional paperwork that i do not feel like dealing with. i apologize to you, the potential customer.

LMAO. GTFOH. EH?

I actually drop ship all my parts to NY.

And I would be but my policy is no more than $1200 if I'm building them front and back (unless the faces are super minty and barrels can be resold)

But thanks for being respectable about it....

so what you are saying is you are not interested? i see. so you are here to tell me that used barrels are not cheaper than new barrels and that my wheels are overpriced because you have a generic number based on how much work you have to do rather than the actual value of the wheel? well thanks for being respecful about it.

p.s. if you're mad get over it, just talkin' a little shit. it aint that serious. have a nice day eh?

you must have me mistaken for someone else. eh?

losing interest in selling these, or arguing with people who aren't really saying anything, but since i have to have the last word might as well bump it.

Turned off your Canadian hatred? lol

If you read back to what I said, I wasn't even talking shit, I just stated something (both comments)

Just wanted to clear the air on that, no hard feelings, hope that's mutual (sure it is, it's the internet after all)

Either, GLWS but you should really build these for yourself and be a super boss....

no hard feelings over here. i can argue all day with a smile, as long as i don't feel disrespected. the main reason i'm not budging on price or pushing hard to sell is i'd love to keep these. i would like to see them built a certain way, to a certain standard, and even have the perfect car for them. if i gotta do it myself then so be it, but if the right buyer comes along i'll let them go as a financial decision.
