Im putting my recently rebuilt Work Equip M1's up for sale. Due to me needing to handle some other business and work on getting a second car im letting these go.
Name: Alex
Location: Raleigh, NC / Hampton Roads Area, VA
Contact: Post or PM
Work Equip M1's Fronts: 18x10 -7
Rears: 18x12 -20
Tires: Nitto nt555's front: 225/40/18

History under my ownership:
I originally bought the wheels here on Zilvia from a guy who went by Ivan, At the time wheels were Orange (some of you might remember)

When i got them they had original sealant, 3 center caps (2 which didnt screw on at all), Powercoat seemed thrown on top of original/pass finishes, and one began to leak not long after i began driving on them
To keep things short i put in alot of work to get them in the below condition:

I took the wheels to Exotics Powdercoating and they did WORK!
Powdercoated faces in Triple Bronze finish
Powdercoated Barrels Flat Black
Full Mirror Polish on the lips
Stripped and refinished all original hardware
Resealed......AROUND $1500 worth of work and thats a decent deal
Center caps are BRAND NEW! Cut by EVOD IND. out to Cali using AUTOCAD and one of the original center caps as a mold and example
...ALL 4 NEW CENTER CAPS ran me close to $700 and replicate the original almost perfectly!
CONS:
1. Got new extended valve stems for the wheels and when it came time to mount everything we found out they were too short. SO regular ones were installed so tire pressure right now is checked either from the back or through the faces...I WILL PURCHASE THE CORRECT LENGTH VALVE STEMS For THE BUYER OF THE WHEELS
ASKING PRICE is set right now at $3500 w/ tires + shipping cost, will entertain trade offers of wheels plus cash also, but mainly lookin for $$$.
Pretty Firm on this considering the amount invested but...
IF I GET FULL ASKING, ILL NOT ONLY GET THE NEW VALVE STEMS BUT ILL ALSO GET THEM INSTALLED FOR YOU, THATS TIRES OFF THEN BACK ON WITH A FRESH BALANCE!
