Jetspd150 Posted October 9, 2009 Report Share Posted October 9, 2009 Guys it's all about replacement options? Yes $2,600k for wheels are a bit pricey? But I recall paying $900.00 each for a replacement wheel from the mitsu/chry dealer in the 80's. The wheel was not even SHP but a standard size. This guy took the time to get these wheels done and they do look good. So if you like them? and can afford them? then get them. Otherwise keep searching for old stock 16" and have them re-done at a wheel shop. It will run you about $600.00 to refurbish them to like new condition. And on top of what it cost you to purchase the old stock wheel. I personally would have prefered them to be "18 wheels with blind bolt from behind to make them look true stock for this price. I also would have paid for them in a heartbeat. Now I have to think long and hard about getting them because of size and the studs in the front? which to me takes away from the original look of a true restoration project. (But again thats just my personal preference). If your trying to remain stock and are restoring your starquest then these wheels will do otherwise though. Again it is another personal option that is now out there for these cars. And I thank him for his efforts to get them done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dem0ntsi Posted October 10, 2009 Report Share Posted October 10, 2009 Yea, a legit 3 piece can run you that for sure, but how many guys on here do you know who actually went out and bought a set for their Quest? No one that I know of.I did actually lol.. Wheels look great but I was hoping they would be lower priced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rusky Posted October 31, 2009 Report Share Posted October 31, 2009 Congrats to sakergavin for having the gumption and perserverance to see these through. Never thought I'd see a "stock" 17 inch wheel for sale for these cars. For those that can afford it, great, for the rest of us that are just trying to keep the car on the road, not so great. Good looking wheel though. GL with the GP. Will these be available after the GP is over? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xtremeboost Posted November 21, 2009 Report Share Posted November 21, 2009 Does anyone know what company actually makes these wheels . The outer lip looks just like one of the lips that CCW makes . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StarquestRescue Posted November 22, 2009 Report Share Posted November 22, 2009 Bear in mind these would look even better with wider tires, that are available in the correct profile to keep the diameter right. I sure wish i had deep pockets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dodge2004srt4 Posted February 13, 2012 Report Share Posted February 13, 2012 I never saw this thread in all my searches!! I would be down for a pair of rears in a heartbeat. Can this thread be started back up with a list of those interested so we can get this going for those of us who just want them when the time comes for payment? Its tax time and some us of will have the money for them. I was looking into a set of 17/18's so I could get the tires I actually WANT on my car and sizes that are very common unlike what we are stuck with now on the 16's. Not much choice in a 245 and only 1 choice in a 265. Not wide enough for me. Brand choices suck too. Fronts I can handle staying 16's but the rears need a change and I ABSOLUTELY LOVE the stock wheels so these would work 100% for me! Chris.

BOHO Posted February 15, 2012 Report Share Posted February 15, 2012 I sent him a PM a week ago and have gotten no repsonse....I would just like some rears too... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dodge2004srt4 Posted February 22, 2012 Report Share Posted February 22, 2012 At this point I would take all 4, but Im really digging this as a perfect alternative to some aftermarket wheels I was considering. I really love the stock SHP's but hate the fact that I cant find any decent tires for them. The choices are horrendous to say the least. That and I am a big fan of having a little less tire between the wheel and the pavement plus a wider contact patch on the rear, 245's wont cut it, 265's are a start but only one good tire made in that size and they are very expensive now. Bump for some answers!! Im sure I can get atleast one other person to get rears or all 4 if this goes through. If nothing else let me in on the company who is doing this and Ill get them done!! Hell Im in the wheel/tire business and can probably get a discount with our license. Chris. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RonnieJ Posted February 22, 2012 Report Share Posted February 22, 2012 I can get some made but they would have to be full sets. I can do hidden bolts if you guys like that better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jetspd150 Posted February 23, 2012 Report Share Posted February 23, 2012 Now your talking my language with the hidden bolts. I really like both types but like the true stock look better for a true restoration.Keep me posted. Thanks so much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OPTIMUSPRIME Posted February 23, 2012 Report Share Posted February 23, 2012 I'll just go for the rears onlyI believe the guy is from a country far far away and I believe he was selling that set for $4,000.00 plus shipping As a matter a fact he was also selling his business and custom wheels. Someone here in the USA got to have a machine shop with 17" shells to make it happened Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Rabbit1 Posted April 25, 2012 Report Share Posted April 25, 2012 (edited) I'd definitely take a set of rear 17's if they were available. 17x9 i'm thinking.

yzrider Posted April 25, 2012 Report Share Posted April 25, 2012 Why not 17x10 or 10.5. I want some tire back there. I'd be willing to get a set of rears. Full set is too expensive if its same price range from before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
