Any reason these rims wouldn't work on a 92 Q?

I'm looking to upgrade relatively inexpensively from the 15" ROH wheels that came on the car . Since they are local I wouldn't have to pay shipping.

Any thoughts?

One of the preferred wheels for a G50.

See if you can spin them up first to see if they meet specifications.

Those are one of my favorites. Here's a thread from louisgz, who got them and was looking for a good tire.

Louisgz are AZhitman's old chrome ones.

Look for a post of Heath's 1990 (Q1?) to see a picture of standard early Q45 with them.

I'm going to try to go by and look at them today.

Are they worth the BIN price? Or should I wait and see what the auction does?

IMHO, the BIN is a touch high, but if they're good and he'll let you have them "checked" to make sure they are still in round it would be worth it as you'd pay no shipping (assuming they're that local).

My opinion, $200 a steal. $250-$300 market. $350, a little high, but no shipping and the ability to inspect/spin-up makes it worthwhile.

Here's what you need to verify the trueness of the wheels:

Just put the bare wheels on a quality balancer and spin them. If they need more than 10 grams per side...........they don't meet oem specs.

New perfect wheels should really be under 5 grams -------but used.
