FOR SALE...NO TRADES! (already have my next set of rims lined up)
I swore it would be a cold day in hell before anyone could pry these from my fairly large AzN hands. But the time has come. They have served me well during the course of the 6 or so years I had them, and I have babied and pampered them as much as I do the rest of my vehicle. Some details:
- 18" TRUE 3 piece design
- Front sizing: 18x8 +37 Rear sizing: 18x9 + 37 (Lamsy, please chime in if I'm wrong here). But the lip sizes are epic, as you can see in the pics.
- dual 4/5x114.3 lug pattern
- seriously old school wheel (~2 decades old) that is just about impossible to source
- what makes these truly IMPOSSIBLE is that these are the ONLY 18 inch set I have ever seen in existence with stepped lips and custom polished face design. You will note in the pictures that the faces are mirror chrome plated (clearcoated), while the inner spokes have a beautiful, almost 'matte' metal finish. Very intricate and very custom.
- Both the stepped lips and bolts have been redone by me. Countless hours re-plating each bolt by hand with real 24k plate, that has withstood the course of the past 4 years or so with absolutely zero discoloring. Just keep polish or harsh compounds away from the bolts and they will last a lifetime.
The lips have been (and will be redone before they ship out) redone as well by hand. From 100 grit all the way to 2000 grit for a mirror chrome finish. They gleam even more than the spokes. The upkeep? Simply wash the lips as normal, and hit each lip up with meguiars mag and aluminum polish with a rag for about 2 minutes by hand and wallah...chrome. Do this once every 2 to 4 weeks and they will last you a lifetime. They've made it through 6 years of Oregon weather...so I know what I'm tombat.
And now the pros and cons:
Pros:
- Wheels look basically pristine in person and will make both men and women alike drop their panties. Trust. Can't count the number of times I've been approached or given the thumbsup on them, even once had an elder couple in their 50/60's stalk me on the highway about 15 miles to finally ask me questions on them once I reached my destination. Honestly thought I was getting set up to be carjacked. Scary.
- All the work has been done for you to make them look the way they are today. As the old saying goes, 'plug n play.'
- Barrels are forged. Nigga, these ain't no sportmaxx's. Can't tell you the number of times I've hit a jarring bump in the road, but the Wisers never give or break a sweat. No bends, no cracks...and it'll most likely stay that way unless you happen to run over a cinderblock or that derranged undead fisherman from I Know What You Did Last Summer. But I hope you don't.
- Rims are fully complete. Even comes with an extra original center cap and dish, as well as the original cap wrench. Will even include the special, shortened lug nuts and lug key.
- Will include a pair of 25mm and 30mm hubcentric spacers for the right purchase price, which were used to get the stance I have in my pitchers below.
Cons:
- There may be small, minute rash portions that have been sanded out in the lips, but honestly the mirror finish is so ridiculous that you can't even see or notice them unless you are basically french kissing the lips. But what you do in your personal time is none of my business...so I'm leaving that out there.
- the chrome faces may have a small spot of 'pitting' here or there, but once again the finish is so reflective that you can't tell unless right up close and looking. Most of the pitting is relegated to the center cap dishes, which are super easy to send out to replate, if you're uber anal like that.
- One of the 4 center caps has a SLIGHTLY different cap design. This is because one of the 4 caps got stolen, so I had to spend a good amount to source another set from a junkyard in japan. The cap, design, and logo themselves are 100 percent identical, it's just that the cap logo is slightly 'sunken' (maybe by a millimeter or two?) instead of completely flush like the other 3. Again, anal stuff. You can actually easily remedy this by making a spacer for the cap, since the logo can be popped out from the rear and is held on with nothing more than adhesive.
- Now to the sticky part. The tires. The 2 rear tires are basically brand new, but are a slightly different sized. One is on a 215/40/18 with a godly looking stretch (can see lip from behind), while the other is a 225/40/18 (still a good looking stretch, just not as godly). One of the fronts tires recently completely gave out (separated), and at this point I'm not too keen on replacing it myself, so I'll either leave that to the buyer or if the final sale price is right I'll spring out the money to have it mounted and balanced with a federal 215/35/18 before they ship. The other front tire is 215/35/18 with plenty of meat left, not more than a couple of months old. Or if the buyer wants to start from scratch and just wants the wheels, I can separate them all and just ship wheels themselves.
If you've made it through that novel, then I know you're srs. Ok, now the price. I'm starting out high here, but I'm mainly fielding offers at this point and they will go to the highest offer. Have received a ton of interest even before I listed them. I will be 100% honest here in saying that neither you nor I will probably ever see another set of wisers in this size with this custom finish again. I can pretty much bet that.
Let's start with $2500 OBO + shipping.
Talk to me. I'm open.
And now to terminate your interweb connection. I included a series of super high res photos per your consideration. Pretty much every angle so you can photochop them onto your ride to see if you rikey. Or perhaps I just want to reminisce. Either way... with the right drop, I think these thangs can transform just about any piece of sheetmetal on the road. Bleedat.
Thanks para looking!
