I don't know the going prize and I couldn't care less, I would never drive replicas again. I had an accident because a Fuchs replica wheel broke.
Use them only for your gardenhose. Just ihmo

It seems a little pointless to use 16x9 replicas. You'd normally go for a wider rim for best performance on the track/autocross but they're weaker (& some PCA regions ban them) so you can't drive hard on them anyway, & they're alot heavier.

I knew a buy who kept a broken replica on the wall of his garage to remind him.

Real 9's in good shape.....$1000.
Real 9's in perfect shape...$1200. Knowing you're rolling on real 9's......priceless!

There's a pair of 16x9" replicas for sale in the classifieds for $125/ea.
Do you have any? If so, I may be interested in them. -Rob 1980SC |

Hi,
Actually, I was trying to determine the value because someone was offering me a set of replica 9s in partial trade for the 9s I'm selling (see my add in the classfied section). I had no idea what they were worth, but the gentleman is under the impression that they're worth a lot more than the $200 bucks I was prepared to offer, let alone $125. Thanks for all the responses. The set I have will likely be gone by Sunday. I already have two reasonable offers. |
