Title: Aero Zytec Mags
Post by: laidback on April 13, 2014, 12:03 AM

Hi chaps,

I have some old white Aero Zytec Mag wheels in white gathering dust in the garage.  I have owned them for many years.  I am in touch with someone (he may even be on here) who is after a set for a Reflex build.

I have no idea what they are worth.  I'm not out to rip anyone off, but because you don't see these very often, i have no idea where to start price wise. 

They have brake rub, and are slightly yellowed and would need a bleach bath/razor treatment to get them looking nice again, however they spin true.

As i say, i want to help this guy out, but don't want to price them like a set of equivalent skyways, if they are worth more, or less than them.  Any advice?

As you can see, lots of brake rub, and what appears to be a little crack, although no movement in it.

Are they particularly rare?

No they are not rare. that crack will reduce the value. I'd remove the brake rub  and give them a good clean if your trying to sell them.

Thanks chubby. I might experiment with them to see what
Cleaning techniques work, seeing as they are a little rough.
