Enigma Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 I have a Jeep split rim (original). Its in good condition, no deformation I can see, bolt holes to attach to the axle ok. I split it and only some rust, gonna clean it later. Wasn't too difficult, some WD 40 and no brute force neccesary! Not sure if I want to sell or keep it, probably hold on to it for now.

Enigma Posted May 26, 2012 Author Share Posted May 26, 2012 The same rim cleaned. The warning tags are still present. So, what may be its value? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those do look good in its primer coat. I choose to not primer, partly because they aren't clean enough and mostly to avoid hiding imperfections or making it look better than it is. I tried to find logo's or numbers but couldn't find any. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Ashby Posted May 26, 2012 Share Posted May 26, 2012 To put your question into perspective a brand new split rim is £120 currently Pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MHillyard Posted May 26, 2012 Share Posted May 26, 2012 Only 2 reached reserve: £107.13 £83.15 Not including postage which i expect would not be cheap The other 3 did not reach reserve, seller must have put diferent reserves on each one ( possibly condition ) because one did not reach reserve at £89 although one at £83 did Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
