Am I wrong or are these the 20 spoke directionals that are very common
on many Mark VIII's

His first listing he wanted over $1200 for them.

If they are Conti Rims then I guess they'd be rare Mark VIII rims LOL....

They look really nice, but aren't they kind of overpriced?

Now that I know these will fit I'm searching for one or the other of these two styles of 16X7 continental wheel....top fits 1998 - 02, bottom is a 96 and 97 model I think....

And yes they are overpriced....100 a wheel is what junkyards charge each other, including shipping.

Those ebay wheels wouldn't do much beyond the stockers in my book.

This is the second round on eBay for them. Last time he wanted $1200 for them. Nobody placed a bid.

I am guessing that next time they'll be listed for $600 a $300 drop each time through LOL....

Sorry for keeping this story up but!

They are back on eBay... I sent the guy a message telling him that the rims were from a Conti and are not rare Mark VIII rims. I don't know why this auction has caught my intrest but it did.

He's got them listed again Price is now $400... The price I told him they might sell at.

I just think it's funny how presistant this guy has been. This is his 4th attempt to sell these rare rims and nobody has bid on them.

Since I've seen this auction I've seen a bunch of Conit's with them. Not too rare. I think there is at least 3 in Boscobel with them.
