OEM wheels, with race rubber
Wheels are rough, some curb rash, lots of small chips. Definitely not for a street car. Tires are michelin porsche cup slicks. Real race slicks, I have 7 heat cylcles in them so I am done with them (plenty of rubber left, just not as fast). They would still make great track day tires, and faster than v710's or r6. These slicks are over 500 each new, and very lightweight. I just weighed the wheel with tire and it is just under 40 lbs total. You can do the math on that compared to a hoosier setup on 18's. I would probably race on them one more time but am switching to 17's now that hoosier has made the correct size for my application. Last season there was not a 17 inch that would work so I ran 18's. The wheel on the far left in the pics is by far the worst looking with a rash mid-spoke. They have not been crashed and are straight and balanced.
Would make a great second set for hpde, or whatever. Tires are not dot legal.
Wheels are sold/tires still available

Michelin lists the tire as being 643mm (25.3 inches) tall, 225mm tread, with a section width of 249mm (9.8 inches), circumference 1993 (78.4 inches), recommended rim 8.5-10.5.
that is straight from there website. I have never heard of a tire being so light for this size. They are 18-19lb range.

I have had a lot of requests to split these up, 400 for the wheels alone. Tires probably are not worth shipping alone. I would have to say 200 shipped for them, I just shipped some other tires and it is not cheap. Pick the tires up for 100.
