This is the begining of my search for gold rims... my rh are just not what i want for my baby so i'm looking for some gold rims... and the potenzas are pretty much dead. LOL so that is anouther good reason to sell them and get new rims while i'm at it

They wont rub...They have the correct offset. they are 18by7 with a +48 Offset...Kuhmo rubber (215/35/18) which is and looks nearly new...I also Have lightweight Black lugnuts to go with them and the conversion socket for the stock lug wrench to these.
I would do $800 plus shipping...I know shipping will be one bill pretty much on the money.
LMK

BTW wheel 1 and 2 will fit...3 will NOT..5by100mm pattern on the rex I believe.

 

[Mutmatt]

well screw those... the wheels i was looking at i think i may be your 1st in line buyer!!! any time frame u need to sell by... i have to get a job first and i think sell my stock rhs

 

[ForceFed]

They will be listed this week or next ....No holding on a high dollar item like these...Gotta take the $$$ if the buyer is there.

 

[Mutmatt]

ok well is it possible to get 1st in line just if it will happen i will have the money by the end of the month! swear on the bibble

 

[ForceFed]

It WILL happen....They will be listed very shortly....I even thought about snapping shots tonight but my camera takes crappy pics..I want one with more detail ,so It may have to wait until my buddy brings his over.

 

[Mutmatt]

oh ok... well i talked with my mom a bit but she is kinda tight on finances and i am short about 300 **cha chings** so i will have to talk it over with my father i will get back to you hopefully tomarrow or the next day

 

[haze20]

It won't rub even if you lower it with a +48 offset.

 

[Mutmatt]

They would look good if the car is dropped. How much do they weigh or are you not worried about the weight?

 

[Mutmatt]

weight isn't the biggest of my concerns but it would be a plus if they were light! and i don't think i will be dropping my car anytime soon

I have a set of black 17's I'd like to get rid of, I don't know how set o n getting gold wheels you are. I have Kumho 205/40/17' s on them. I like the smaller rolling diameter with the tire size because I get into the turbo earlier. I think it makes a hell of a difference. My gas millage suffers on the highway though, my speedometer reads 60 when I'm doin 55, but I get down the track faster!

 

[Mutmatt]

i do like the black on black look also so price is a factor...

 

[Mutmatt]

alright well every1 like died now apparently! but the spring is pretty close (first)
so i have been looking more and more at rims because i want to get rid of my Stockers (i just don't like them enough to powdercoat them to the color i want! especialy for the weight) so here are some options i'm looking at! real... not ebay

will these fit^^^

and what kinda offset should i get... in the future i may be dropping my car! no rub wanted after the drop

 

[sandspeed]

dude, those rims are all really nice especially the 1st one. I'm not sure if the 17" x 8 " wide rims will fit if you plan on dropping the msp later on. I have 17" x 7.5" and its pretty close. I would go with 17x7" or 17x7.5" rims on a protege. my offset is 45 and i am planning on getting coilovers in the future but might have to slightly adjust the camber to make them fit, we'll see.
