WHEELS HAVE BEEN SOLD!
Hey guys- my last pair of Blitz Type 03 wheels are up for grabs. This pair is 17x9 +41, 5x114.3. The wheels are not in the best condition, but they would be perfect for someone who is looking to either refinish them themselves, or have them sent out to a shop like WheelFlip to rebarrel and relip them to custom specs.
Lips:
Both of the wheels have a pretty good amount of curb rash. Most of it could be removed with sanding, but having a wheel repair shop (such as WeldCraftWheels.com) fill and machine the lips would yield the best results. The lips could also use a good polishing, but they aren't super dull or anything.
Faces:
The faces of the wheels have been stripped to raw aluminum. When I purchased them, they were spray painted black. I removed the black paint with aircraft stripper, which also removed the factory silver paint finish. There are no major blemishes on the faces aside from the paint being removed. You could give them a quick sand and spray to the color of your choice, or hand polish them (since the paint has already been stripped.)
Barrels: Unfortunately, the barrels of both wheels have some minor bends. They are not super visible or anything, but my tire guy did tell me that they had a couple of bends. He was able to mount the tire and balance them out, so it isn't a huge deal. If you are a perfectionist though, you would want to have them repaired for the best results.
Here are some pictures of both wheels in their current state. Tires are not included:

Some of the black paint still lingers on the back of the faces. This can easily be removed:

So yeah- they are not in the best condition, but it is getting harder and harder to find 9" and 10" wide Blitz 03 wheels, especially in pairs. With a little elbow grease, these could be a great pair of wheels for someone. Here are a couple shots of them on my car with a 25mm bolt-on spacer:

I have the Ichiba bolt-on 25mm hubcentric spacers I used with these for about 1/4 mile in my neighborhood for sale as well. If purchased with the wheels, I will include them for $75 extra.

I would like to see $535 shipped for the pair, including tracking and insurance. My wife and I just had our first baby last Friday, so it may take me a couple days to get the tires dismounted and the wheels shipped out. Check out my trader rating and feel free to contact me with any concerns. Price does not include PayPal fees. Please PM me with any questions or concerns- thank you!
