Eoi - Topy Steel Wheels?

[gav240z]

Hi Folks,
I have a friend in SFO with a bunch of TOPY wheels, I think they are date stamped 72/73 mostly.. I was doing some sums on cost to buy + import here and wasn't sure if it's worth bringing them in, in bulk etc..

 

From memory he has maybe 3-4 pairs of these wheels, maybe more?

 

Just wondering if there is much demand for these and if so what year / date stamp is required? Or if this isn't important also let me know?

 

Given size/weight - air freight isn't really a good option, so would need to be sent via ship / pallet.

 

Can you also give me an idea of what kind of ball park pricing you would expect these at?

 

I suspect there is maybe 1 or 2 of us who really want these wheels. For the others it's a bit "meh".

HI Gav

I would be interested in a set

What widths are they?

I believe early 1970 date stamped wheels are 4.5j and later 71+ are 5j

I think there was a 5.5 as well?

I"m not fussy on width, or even a matching set.

Really only need 3 

Happy to buy individual wheels

Hi

 

Would it be cheaper to throw them in the boot of car that is coming here ?

Maybe talk to one of specialist US to AUS vehicle import import companies ?

 

Just a thought. But probably not an original one.

 

Cheers

When I was importing my RX-7 from Europe I was told I could not put items in the car. The car must be free of 'stuff'.

 

I am looking at options around putting stuff on a crate.

 

Not looking to do this immediately just seeing if there is interest first.

Yes that's right there was a 5.5j also. Although quite rare to find.
