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!

replicas are inferior quality though, in that case might aswell get new aftermarket wheels
