I'm out of the huge American sedan game for a minute, and I have these sitting around. Four Impala SS wheels, generally poor cosmetic condition with one having a ding on the inner lip (see last pic). No caps, no lug nuts, no tires. Pick up preferred, in Northern VA (Reston). If you're local, you might persuade me to deliver. Sadly, I never did get to use them.

Asking: $300 cash. I'll hear trades, always curious, but would really prefer greenbacks.

If nobody bites and you decide to ship, I'm in.

Can you advise on what's even a reasonable method of shipping these? I forget the width offhand, they're like 17x8.5. I can't see them going on anything but a pallet = not cheap.

I've had wheels shipped to me before.

Seller used 6 threaded rods (3 per pair) and bolted the wheels together, fact to face, with a piece of cardboard between the faces. Worked just fine.

Its pretty cheap if you just do four boxes. I've shipped lots of wheels before. Just put them each in their own box and ship. You might save some money if you do two bigger boxes with two wheels each, but all four together will be over the 75lb limit and it will be considered freight.

They're 17x8.5 (so more like 9.25" overall width. Just get some 18x18x10 double wall boxes and you're in business. That's how I shipped my SS wheels.

My zip is 60014 in case you want to cost out the shipping :) My Roadmaster really needs these rims!

Sorry for the holdup. Looks like shipping plus supplies (the dreaded. . . shipping and handling ) would be about 80 bucks. Let me know if you're still interested.
