18x8.5" +48 Rota SVN & 235/40/18 Falken RT-615s - Custom Powdercoated Ice Blue

****Asking $1,000 SHIPPED for whole package, or $700 shipped for wheels ONLY O.B.O.****

Like the title says, I am selling my wheels/tires/tpms. This is an absolutely last ditch effort for me, and I did NOT want to have to resort to this, but I have got to. I get married 4 weeks from yesterday, and we've had some things pop up that I have got to pay for and I just do not have it. Just moved into my first home last week and paid the first mortgage, and this kid is strapped for money!! The only thing left that has any worth were these wheels, and now I have got to put them up for sale. I absolutely love these wheels and I nearly shed a tear when I was taking pictures. But we all must grow up and move on, and make sacrifices, so this is my sacrifice. (boom06)

-18x8.5" 5x114.3 +48 Rota SVNs (originally hyperblack)
-Custom Powdercoated Ice Blue Explosion with extra silver metallic flake
-235/40/18 Falken RT-615s
-OEM Mazda TPMS (4) - only installed since April (factory ones are still on factory wheels)

$850 for wheels, $300 for powdercoating, $500 for tires, $350 for TPMS,...got close to if not more than $2,000 wrapped up in these wheels and tires. I have had the wheels since end of summer of 2009, and then had powdercoated in March of 2010, and had the tires and brand new OEM TPMS put on April 2010. I drove from April til end of september, and took them off to get ready for winter. The tires are in GREAT shape, no nails or holes (as you can see), and the wheels are in near perfect condition. The only imperfections are from the original powdercoating job, you can slightly see casting marks if you get up real close to the wheels and look at the right angle. The guy who powdercoated the wheels said that it took between 15 and 20 hours to get these things stripped completely (he kept the wheels a month). Rota apparently does 4 different layers to achieve their hyperblack, and he said it took an act of congress to get them stripped. Also, on the INSIDE lip of the wheel (the side of the wheel that bolts to the hub), there are some slight scuffs, etc from where tires and stuff were put on, and where the wheels have set on their backhand side when removed. Other than that, there is no curb rash, no chips, no dents, no bends, no dings, not scratches - these things are in excellent condition that have been well taken care of.

Enough jabbering, here are the pics:

These wheels have a lot of tender-loving care, money, time, etc wrapped up into them, which is why I did not want to sell them. I am losing my prized possessions with these wheels, and it makes me sick. I hope if someone buys these, that they take care of these things like I did. My powdercoater was sick to his stomach when I told him I had to sell these wheels, because this color is a one-off color. He told me there is no way he could replicate these wheels in the exact same color. This makes these wheels that much more special.


If you purchase these wheels, you are getting some VERY nice wheels. You will not find a better set of used wheels for sale. This is perfect for those people going for the *wild* look, or the aggressive look. They handle amazingly, and the amount of heads that I turn is unbelievable. I have had many people stop me in traffic to compliment my wheels. I really hate to see these go :(. My loss, your gain. PM me if interested!! PLEASE, no lowballing. I have a LOT of money, blood, sweat and tears wrapped up in these, and even at the price I am asking I am ripping myself a new one.


Thanks!

Interested..couple questions.. The RT-615's are the older compound, right, not the newer RT-615K's ? Do they come with the hubcentric rings (assume the centerbore doesn't match the Mazda's right off the shelf) ? Lastly, with this setup what had do be done to your fenders..are you stock height, rolled fenders, occasional rubbing on rears with bumps, weight in back? My Cosmic Blue is stock height with FSD's BTW.

Cheers,
 
pm sent bro.

And I know I hate to sell them too. Trust me if I somehow come up with some money in next 2 weeks, I'd remove them for sale and they'd be back on the car in spring. I hate to see these go, but I need the money sooo bad.
 
Man I think your wheels would look sick on my CWP....crap still trying to sell my MS6 wheels, once sold I'll hit you up if you still have them.

Oh believe me, I was actually considering painting my car CWP, but things have changed with the marriage lol. But I see you are in VA, if you are interested, I will drive half way to meet you and cut down the price. Let me know buddy, I need these gone like yesterday!
 
I will extend this for anyone, if you are interested in meeting halfway if you aren't too far away, I will reduce the price to negate shipping charges.
 
dude, set a price PLUS shipping when selling wheels, you can get ***** on shipping doing wheels and tires esp... just my .02.

and sucks you have to get rid of these
 
new jersey is a long drive my friend!

and da1andonly...I set this price to get them gone. I don't have time for these to sit on here and go through weeks of lowering the price. I am rapping myself already by putting them at this price, but I need the money so bad. I can't explain how in need I am of this money. I have a photographer fee due next week for my wedding, and um, I have about $3 in my account right now. lol. I am tight on the cash dude.
 
Bump for a good guy...still rocking the H&R springs I bought from you!

GLWS!!!
 
thanks buddy. Glad you are still enjoying them! Yes guys, I am interested in splitting the tires from wheels and selling separately.
 
everything is still for sale, keep getting people saying they are interested and then backing out. Looking for serious inquiries guys, lets get these gone. They are already a steal as-is. If you have a good enough offer, I will entertain that as well.
