Salvage RX8s

I am looking for Salvaged RX8's in Michigan that I can purchase some wheels from. Does anyone know of a database where I can find them? I can't keep calling random junkyards.

I don't think you'll find them much cheaper.

Really? Brand new replicas are $570 so I might just have to get those if 450 is the cheapest they get used.

Is that price each? I would like to know where you can get replica wheels at 450 a set of four.

I said replicas are 570 a set new and I couldn't justify paying 450 for used wheels when I could by new ones for 570. They are offered at Wheels and caps and a few other online vendors for similar prices.

There do happened to be a lot of crashed rx8s, though, but I can't find them in Michigan.

oreo if you want my white wheels feel free to send me a pm with an offer. 450 is pretty cheap since that includes shipping cost which is 120-180 depending where you live.

phren, your wheels look nice but it is just more than I am willing to pay. Good luck with the sale. I know somebody will pick them up at that price.

lilring, thank you that is exactly what I was looking for if only there was a thanks button.

Someone just posted this beauty in the Gulf section, it's not in Michigan though and I can't tell the condition of the wheels but after seeing the car you may not want them hahaha!

Theres no thanks button, but if you get a wrecked 8, you could thank me with a small free part
