    I am interested in buying your bent or unroadworthy Ferrari, Lotus, Mclaren, Lambo or other exotic wheels, these are wheels that will never see the road, but will be used for an art project.

    They don't have to be pristine, but none that are severely broken or run over by a train please.

    I just need the front face of the wheels to look OK, the back can be trashed. Old, discarded center caps are needed too.

    Let me know what you have, thanks!
    Alden

    Alden,

    I have one front 19" Ferrari 575 Modular Wheel that is not road worthy due to a botched repair.
    These wheels are very rare and bring between 12500 and 15500 a set. I also have about 10 used Ferrari center caps as well. I was thinking of having a table made with it, but you can make me an offer if it suits your needs.

    Cheers, Mat

    Bumping this to the top.

    Thanks to F Chat I have bought a couple of exotic wheels that could never see the road again.

    If you have one that is taking up space, your Wife wants rid of it and don't think you will ever make that table or hang it on the wall, stop moving it around or tripping over it, PM me and maybe we can make a deal.

    I am experimenting with turning them into some neat garage/man cave art and will post the results here.

    Sellers get first right to buy their wheels back as a nice art piece.

    Thanks again!

    Awesome! can't wait to see the art!
    And I'd of had some wheels to give but I had them heated and straightened
    Scuderia ones!

    I'm sure plenty of FChat members will have plenty of wheels coming you way

    And any sneak peak of what's to come of the art?

    I think I have this somewhere at work if I can find it. It is carbon fiber. No center cap though.
    If I can find it you can have it for shipping charges and a case of beer. It's from about 8 years ago and I'm not sure where it is or if I even saved it. If interested let me know and I will search for it.

    Bumping this up, still looking for non-road worthy wheels for my project.

    Please let me know what you have!

    Contact with a dealer or wheel specialist would be great too, I am sure there are some art worthy wheels out there that are discarded as scrap every day!
