    Hi,

    A friend dumped four wheels on me to assist in selling- he got them from a friend of his, so the origin is a little shaky.

    I'm assuming that they take the metric TRX tire? What year 308 are they for?

    Also, what's a typical value for this wheel? They have a few paint chips, but no curb rash, visible cracks, etc. I assume not too valuable due to the metric tire size?

    Thanks. Any info will be much appreciated! They'll be up on Ebay soon.

    1980-82 308i-2V or 1982-1985 308QV

    (But, your assumption is correct, and you might have to pay someone to take them away ;). Unfortunately, they don't have the stock valve stems either -- which would've had some small resale value.)

    Thanks, Steve. Perhaps I'll recycle them for the value of their alloy ;-)

    Pretty much obsolete due to excessive tire cost...

    308 fitment 81 - 83........

    They DO make really snazzy Air Hose Reels.......resell them as "Vintage Architectural Accessories", you'll make a bundle!!!!

    Thanks to you both. They're now up on ebay, and incorporating titbits from you both...plus I got a bit creative myself.

    One day later, zero bids. I forsee some hose reels or planters being constructed. LOL!

    Probably so, you can still buy the rubber, but it is OBSCENELY expensive for what you get...

    Purists only need apply.

    I'll prototype plans for a purple martin bird house......

    Wouldn't mind having one for a table, depending on price. What's the ebay list number? I'll take a look.

    The markings show these are 390mm sized wheels, discontinued and superceded. Tire size availabilty is narrow making these the lesser desirable wheels.
