Turbines!

[77Dmax]

I have two sets.

First are the 16.5s shown below. These are a matching set of four with 33x12x16.5s vortrax radial tires. Two tires are new with less than 1k miles on them. The other two have around 5k on them. I have 5th tire that is a spare with no rim, it has a cut in the sidewall that never bothered but did make me nervous. I had to warranty one tire so I bought one to replace the tire with the cut. $1800 for this set.

Under the bench I have a set of 6 lug 15x10 turbines that I have had for decades. These were on a K5, k10 and my later 90 1/2 ton. These are in excellent shape. No pics at this time but I dig them out the next time in the garage. $1000 for these.

Located in new england.. thanks

Those turbines are cool! The others not so much.

I thought these would sell fast. You can't even buy the tires for 1800 bucks..

This is a forum, we may do some buying and selling, but that's not what this site is.

Especially non shippable items(easily) and you're in the northeast.

Man I wish those were 8 lug

 

[TotalyHucked]

Yeah, like Mason said, you being in the NE is the real killer cuz shipping would be a ton. Might have better luck listing on Marketplace

They are!

Still available. I'll be going to Carlisle in the spring if that helps anyone.

Oh neat how does that work with dualys? Can I just put the turbines on the outside?

 

[77Dmax]

I don't see why you couldn't. They might stick out some.

Bump

I wish you lived closer. I'd get those wheels in a heart beat.

Bump, really looking to move the 33s...

You’d do better if you listened to the suggestions you were given.

one of the ways to sell rims and tires is to list them locally as separate items.

so in the pictures state you can have them separated.

so someone that wants the tires can have just the tires,...and someone that wants just the rims just the rims.
(...and as nice as the set is,...some person may have new fancy rims and want only the tires,...and not want to then pawn off the antique turbines ...or get stuck with them....or want fancy road tires on those turbines and not the meat you got)

local is the key: craigslist / facefoot marketplace/ offer up.
and then you can list the same nationally etc.

and if someone wants to pay shipping on the bare turbine rims....not as expensive as shipping whole tires.

I believe most people interested in vintage 16.5's will also want those tires too. Or at least, anyone wanting them for a truck they drive a lot. There's not much selection at all.
