Description - (below)
Price - $1,000 (TPMS from RX8 additional $50) - no trades

I'm buying a Miata so I can stop modding my 6. So I'm selling these to finance the purchase.

Wheel info: set of RX8 wheels I purchased with 2000 miles on them and had them powdercoated by the well-known Quangalang. Wheels are 5x114.3 - 18x8 - +50mm offset



Tire info: Hankook Ventus V12 Evo 235/40/18 - about 1500 miles on them

Lug Nuts: Black Spline drive two-piece McGard lugs with wheel locks


Centercaps are stock silver but are included.

My cost:
Wheels - 300
Powdercoating - 450
Tires - 500
Lug Nuts - 80
Mounting and balancing - 80
My total cost: $1,410

Asking $1,000

Have RX8 TPMS for additional $50 (currently not installed)

Rotational distance within one half of one percent of stock 6 so speedo will remain accurate if you have a Mazda6. Mine needs moar low, but won't get it since it's going to be the dd.

Crappy quality since my camera hates white...

 

sex

+1 for doing a for sale post right.

 

haha thanks!

 

wow, thats hawt! good luck on sale

 

I've seen these in person and they are amazingly well done. They look great.

Free bump.

 

Free bump - know the seller, good guy...

 

Aw crap.

REAL powdercoating info is they were coated by HQ Coating (http://www.hqpowdercoating.com/) in Chantilly, VA. Quangalang is the forum name of the guy that runs the business but he's not on this forum.

 

Bump, pm me an offer.

 

Wheels are now off car, final mileage on the tires less than 3k.

Price drop to $900

 

Holy infinite information Brandon! That first pic of them on the car looks awfully familiar....... None of the pics are really serving up the beauty of the wheels. As nice as the pics portray, their even better in person. I would venture to say, the color is more brilliant in person. Anyway, GLWS and I heard you lost out on the M Edition?

 

Yea the guy sold it after he recovered from swine flu and didn't call me to tell me he had recovered. I'm trying to buy Scott's black 94 but he has to find a white one to replace it first and he's slow to reply...

 

Will u part with the lugs?

 

ahhah damn this is the perfect FS post....any and all info u need is included. GL with sale

 

Not yet, maybe if things are still for sale after the holidays.

I try

 

Oh and the wheels are now off the car, total miles on the set would be just under 3k.

 

they look very nice free bump!

 

ill take those tires off you today for 350 cash and im local sooooo fast pick up

 

I'm still not in a hurry to split the set, too much work. If you want to buy it all and split it yourself- knock yourself out.

 

still for sale

pics of them when they went into storage:

Bump, they haven't moved since last post.

 

Sale put on hold, I'm shopping for an RX8...

 

If you will part with the tires, I am very interested. I am in fredericksburg, only an hour from richmond so we could do a local buy. Let me know.

 

Oh and if you're worried about me having low post counts:
