    FS: my old rims and associated...

    Alright, since I'm happy with my new rims and don't plan to go back, I figure I might sell (stop laughing!) my hubcaps, steelies, etc for anyone who wants to go with the factory look (ok, c'mon, I said stop laughing!)

    Anyway, rims probably aren't worth shipping, but the hubcaps, retaining screws, and brass retaining whatever-they're-calleds are light enough, as are the four red center-caps.

    The center caps are in very good shape (not perfect, but not too far off from that), wire hubcaps so-so (about what you'd expect with 80K miles of use), and steel rims, well, dusting of surface rust where the hubcap tangs scrape them.

    Pics attached - I'm a crappy photographer, dim lighting in the garage and had to use a flash... the rust is actually more a light orangey-brown than the deep color it looks in these photos on the rims.

    Separately, I guess, I dunno, $15 for the set of all 4 rims, $10 for the set of 4 hubcaps (and retaining screw tool, and brass things, and retaining screws, though one of the screws is notably damaged, it's still completely usable), and $10 for the set of red centercaps.

    If you're not local, then add shipping.

    Everything else but the rims can probably be shipped relatively inexpensively.

    If you want all of it together, $25

                  Handles? Not bad.

                  Ride? very nice.

                  Tire price? super cheap...

                    Well, the last I figure was true, but I wouldn't have guessed that handling and ride would've been decent - shows what I know!

                    Then again, I was rather surprised at how well the box handles bone-stock even with 15 inchers - I expected it to be far sloppier - but it's remarkably tight - feels like a smaller car handling-wise than it is.

                        That's because most Panthers are fairly light for their size; they're really only heavy compared to much smaller cars. And the suspension design really isn't bad so long as it has decent parts in it.
