Let me first appologize to anyone I may have flaked on recently while in an attempt to buy or trade wheels....This smashed wheel is the reason I dissapeared. I am back from the shock and have to unload the losses....
The wheels are a "rare" carbon face that supposedly was only made for some companie's show cars or some poo.... story given to me by a couple of guys, could be total bunk. I do KNOW this is the original coating and not some afterthought.
Fronts are 18x9 and I am pretty sure they are -2 (will look when I remove them from the car.
Rears are known to be 18x10-2
All of the wheels have a few little coating chips on the face (sharpie should get em back up to snuff. One front rim has a 2" or so light curb mark and a SMALL ding (1/4" deep or so)..... The BIG problem is that one rear is SMASHED. The damage covers 1/4 of the wheels lip. It is extremely deep and looks horrible. This may sound crazy but it does LOOK worse than it is. It kinda turned inside out (sad huh?) and it seems like it will sorta "flip" back when pressed out by someone who knows their stuff....eh, maybe I'm retarded. I do know that a local wheel shop said it could be fixxed "for a lot" but that it would never be very strong again. (I can beleive that). I need wheels I can TRACK the shit out of and I dont think it would be smart to do that with this one if it was repaired....
I would like $850 plus shipping for the two fronts or $1200 plus shipping for all four.
Please limit the "holy poop thoats a messed up wheel" comments. I am fully aware... I have to see it every day and I am ready to break the curse these things have seemed to have since I sold the red coupe....
Orrrrrrrrr...... If someone can repair the crushed 10" for under $500 including shipping out and back, I will do that and KEEP EM. If it bends then oh well.
Link to ZT thread. Pics are on the red coupe and on the black S14...duh. If you see an S1 in a pic in that link...its one of em.
