Takeoff's?

[Dewey]

Looking into 17" wheels and came across a set of 2002 SS wheels that are rather inexpensive. They're listed as "takeoff's". What does this mean?

Some guy upgraded wheels- no point in scrapping the nice stock ones if you can make some cash off it.

All takeoff parts came off a Z28 or Firebird T/A before the car was converted into an SS or Firehawk. Some parts, like the SS wheels, are simply marketed and sold new from SLP as a side income for them. They're good wheels, very lightweight for the money - I think 19lbs was the last recorded weight for the 17" SS 10spoke. In comparison ZR1s are 21lbs.

A lot of times SLP will sell their take-offs off an SS or Firehawk that upgraded to chrome, so thats why they are cheaper. They also could have a small blem if you read the add carefully.

Also, SLP makes all the SS and Firehawk wheels. I personally think that they are worth the money but I would rather spend it somewhere else.
