Title: ACS Z-MAGS worth anything??
Post by: 80sBMXer on November 05, 2012, 04:54 PM
I need to raise funds to finish my 2 builds and have aquired some grey/silver ACS Z-MAGS  dated 1st and 2nd of MAY 1986 and wondered if they are worth anything??

they are not mint but very good rider condition

I know it annoys some people when people ask "how much" things are worth  so I apologise to you in advance but genuinely have no clue as to value

I did think about dying them and using them , but it would be a shame if they are sought after??

cheers

I bought a pair for 30quid and I've seen really good pairs go for a ton

Loadsa colours in the 80's - they stopped doing (I think) colours in the 90's - only black and white (they were even still making Z-Rims in black in '98).

I scored these NOS lavender Z's from the States earlier this year for £80(inc. shipping/taxes)

Didn't ACS make a six 'spoke' mag before the Z-Mags?

Can someone recall?

I'm sure I was running something with six back in 81-82, and thought they were ACS.  :-\

I never quit riding so no idea what half of the million things that i rode on were anymore :lol:

...sure i got pics somewhere, will have a look...

Thanks for your replies

They are not that rare then!

If no one objects or wants them I may dye/paint them and add some new decals, I can't live with them the colour they are

They'll look better than the repop black skyways I have at the moment on my TRM

Try the dye option first as painting mags has to be a last resort...

Can't see the pic chap, but if they are lavender(but grubby) may i suggest getting them aqua blasted. As they are rarer than rocking horse poo, took me an age to find my pair.

Then a joker on Egay US wanted 800 buck's for a lavender set :idiot2: :uglystupid2:

Buz ;)

Yeah but everything he sell's is hugely over-priced !
Surely he can't be doing much business with them prices !  :idiot2:
