Zorro Posted June 20, 2012 Report Share Posted June 20, 2012 I have no idea what these are worth. Here's what I do know...They are made by Tight Customs (California-based company that no longer exists)They've been sitting in their original boxes for a few years.Retail price was $4600I have no idea what size tires mount up to these....you'll see measurements in the images.I'm looking for some opinions on size and price of these. And if you're interested, maybe we can work out a deal. They're sitting now and the owner wants them gone. They're located in Westerville.Side view (front, rear, sprocket)Diameter of rear wheelDiameter of rear wheelDiameter of front wheelWidth of rear wheelWidth of front wheelDiameter of sprocket Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheech Posted June 20, 2012 Report Share Posted June 20, 2012 Those will make a QSL bike night warrior very happy.Quick google shows a comparable rear for 1700, and a comparable front for 1300 so 3K all-in. source Looks like your guy's not getting his money back on this one.They look (at least in the crappy cellphone pics) like they've never been mounted, so you might be able to get a decent amount for them. Seeing as I don't play in the ZOMG SHINY CUSTOM! world, I have no idea what kind of price is expected in the secondary market. I guess it comes down to how fast you want to move them...

Thanks for your input. Maybe I'll haul them up to QSL and try to sell them one evening. These rims were never mounted. They're in pristine condition.I'm guessing 3k for them would be great...I'm wondering if a tire mount and balance would be a good way to sell them faster. Less work for the buyer. What are your thoughts on that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BadTrainDriver Posted June 20, 2012 Report Share Posted June 20, 2012 Jesus fuck...Here I thought the Volk Racing RE-30 Flat Black 18x9 wheels on my STi were expensive at $1k a piece!Seriously...what makes these so expensive? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never underestimated the buying power/lack of impulse control of someone whose's already willing to plunk down 25K+ on a "custom" chopper that gets ridden once a week for 5 miles.

What are your thoughts on that?3K were new in box direct from manufacturer, with whatever warranty they offer. These are still used, even though they've never been mounted, and the maker is out of business. WILD guess, I'd start at $2750 and allow yourself to be browbeat down to $2500.The tire mount/balance seems like a good job for Shop Dog Cycles, no? I'd definitely toss that in there.

Hoblick Posted June 20, 2012 Report Share Posted June 20, 2012 id have to assume they are 1" axlei see bearings installed already front is a 3" wide wheel.these front would fit pretty much any harley that can take that diameter wheelrear would only fit a custom application that can handle that width/diameterid say $2k on the set with no tires. $2700 - $3k with tiresnow that all being said, that is not a very desirable wheel design/color anymore.. most guys are going away from that style of wheel and going to color matched, contrast cut.here is the problem though. those may be a specific buyer. for style wise as well as fitment. the front is single sided brake/ in harley bolt pattern, rear wheel looks like harley bolt pattern. i only see the right side and there doesnt seem to be a rear brake rotor mount.getting the front to fit requires only spacers.getting the rear to work may require different hubs, and since the company isnt around anymore, that may be difficult to get, might be able to fit a different companies hub in there, but i wouldnt be able to tell you for sure.honestly, ebaying them without tires is probably your best bet. wider audience.but you can snag a custom wheel setup up now for 2k - 3k with rotors, matching pulley and what not. thats my input lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zorro Posted June 20, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 20, 2012 Thanks Hoblick. Much appreciated. I'm not sure of the chopper market...a link posted earlier showed all chrome wheels...from what i saw. If you have a customer looking for a wheel upgrade...feel free to mention these. The owner would like them gone asap...understanding they would not get close to purchase price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
