I require one Saab Shelby wheel, the minilite-looking ones. These were fitted to early 80s 900s.

I believe I have one that needs to be refinished. I'm not sure if it's the Shelby or one of the Ronals that looks identical. If you'd like, I can check tonight.

I found it. Where are you located?

Really guys...?

This is too obscure. It took me a month to find a set of 1st gen WRX alloys, and you find a single specialty early Saab 900 wheel in three days...Thanks GRM....

St. Albans, WV 25177. It's a shame the paint is ruined. That's the color I need too! As long as it's not square, like the one I'm trying to replace, it should work.

It looks like someone had started to strip the paint to polish it or something. It looked exactly like this when I picked it up at a convention to have as a spare for my '78 99. I've since sold the 99 and the Shelbys/Ronals stayed on the car when I sold it.

What is it that you're installing this on? I see that you don't have anything in your garage on here.

I had a set of these a while back on my MGB. I believe I sold them to an MGA owner :) Mine might have been Ronals, I forget...

There was a set hanging in Wrens junkyard in Kansas City years ago that I was going it buy. I love the positive dish on the face!

What's this thing worth? I'm not good at placing a value on things, and I'm even worse at selling. I don't mind shipping it to you.

I THINK I sold my set of polished, perfect ones with good tires for $300, including a spare wheel. But it's been a while.

I paid $200 for the set of four pictured above. One is bent however which i found out after the fact. It balances but is not ideal.

A set of four refinished CS went for $235 last week on saabnet.

Ignoring the fact that it will require a bit of work to be usable, I don't want to buy another bent wheel. Why is this one a single cast off that wasn't sold with/on the car? I think they're paying $15 a wheel for scrap around here, that's what I was told. I accumulate junk rather than sell it.

Figure out what it will cost to ship. That might be the deal breaker right there. I'd like to not have to gamble more than $25 or $30 total on it in that condition.
