Default Polished TT WHEELS????

I came across a set of used 17 inch polished TTwheels to upgrade mine. They come with Toyo Proxes tires and lug bolts.

The listing is a 5 day no reserve auction. SoI am wondering what is the wheel set worth?

There are a couple of things to consider when looking at new wheels. If you just want them for looks then find whatever you think looks good otherwise you have to be sure to take into account the weight, material, and kind of tire you get. I run a set of 18" Black ARS AR1's with Kumho ECSTA MX tires. My goal was good performance on the road and looks and I have another set just for the track.

Those that you linked to are nice but if you're looking for better performance those are probably just as heavy as yours are now.

I have them on my 02. I think I read somewhere that they were an upgrade option at that time. Mine dont look as good as those, they look flawless. Not sure how much they are worth though. I was thinking of getting mine fixed and painting them but i may hold off and get an upgrade

I wanted to go with the polished because my TT is silver and I think it would look nicer. Plus I like the wheel design more.

I have those wheels stock on my 225. The wheels look good, but the plating is chipping and corroding from underneath slightly. Next month I am taking them in to have the curb rash blended out and the wheels sandblasted. Next stop after that is to have them re-plated in powdercoat white. It's an interim fix. I will eventually upgrade wheels but I just put brand new Yokohamas on it and they'll have to wear out before I change wheels since I'll be going up to a 19"
