A market for new 18" bullets and tires?
 

I am "concidering" buying this Shelby GT350 but the one thing I dont like is the black 18" bullets. I would replace them with a different rim with 18" 275s on all corners. So if I went that route how much do you think I could expect to sell the stock 18" rims and tires for?

anywhere between $500 to $900, depending on who is buying them,
what condition they are in, etc.

..you are about to buy a $35,000 car and the only thing stopping you is the $500+ back you'll get from selling the wheels?

I say get the car, and then worry about the little stuff.

hehe, no. The rims wouldnt make me not buy the car. I was more curious how much selling the stock ones would offset the cost of new rims/tires. 35k is already the upper end of my budget and just want to get a feel for how much new tires would add.

I'll give you 450 for them hopefully your in Texas so i can pick them up. If you buy the car of course.

what is a Shelby GT350?
Is this a special edition they kept secret from the world?

Shelby GT????

Yeah, It's a Shelby GT. The dealership that my Sister-in-law works at, the general manager insists that all sale people call them that because it Ford did a market study and found that calling them that "invokes emotions and memories in older clients and car history fans", so many dealerships call them that. I tried to explain to him that all it actually does is turn off buyers that are in the know about what these cars really are and fool those who don't into buying something that isn't what they think.

Heh, yep, my Ford dealer is where I picked up that slang. It was the only way I could talk to other Ford dealers so they wouldnt think I was talking about the GT 500.

Those are nice wheels, man! You really should keep them. What's the point in getting a collectible car and taking the OEM parts off? Why not just get a GT and do all the performance/appearance mod stuff and avoid paying for the Shelby name?

BTW, you can fit 275 tires on those rims.....only issue is the possibility of slight rubbing when the wheels are turned all the way to the right or left. I plan on putting 275/45/18 all around on my 18x8.5 silver bullitts (just like the black ones on the Shelby).
