Alright, I really like these wheels but I'd like to go for an OE style look.

I had an issue with the set that's on the car now where the clearcoat lifted at random spots on the black portions between the spokes.

Hence why Tirerack sent me this brand new set.

I would be interested in trades for something in a 17 in. size in excellent condition. A few spots of average wear and tear are acceptable but I am not looking for anything bent. If you're interested in that just let me know, be sure to include a little history on the wheels along with pictures describing any damages.

I might be interested in Perfos w/ usable tires as well.

I may also just do a straight up sale.

For a straight up sale I would like to see $400, shipping not included. If that's too much to Paypal some sort of check would be fine but I will wait until it clears to fulfill my portion of the sale.

For trades I would like the wheels you may have to be equal or close to my asking price.

I would really love to do this locally but I will ship at your expense.

They would come just as pictured and the boxes measure 19.5 in. length/depth and 10 in. tall. Each wheels weighs 20 lbs. so figure 22 lbs. a piece because if I ship these I am going to add extra protection in the boxes.

You're welcome to get a shipping quote if you'd like, just let me know what you find and how you'd like to do it. I prefer UPS and Fed Ex but am open minded.

So here's what's up for sale here and thanks for taking the time to look this over.

If you need reassurance of my seller reputation you can find that in the appropriate forum here on the site and my ebay ID is airridin95.

These will come with the centering rings/clips and the lug bolts, lug bolts will require a brief waiting period by you until I get them off the car.

They are a sharp set of aftermarket wheels, that's for sure. One of the few that actually work on our cars.....

If you'd like to talk or take my dimensions/weight to price shipping that surely wouldn't disappoint me.

[DonutsDemise]

that was quick

[--Aaron--]

I am going to have these wheels mounted on October 15th so they shall remain for sale until then, just to let anyone that may be interested know.

I'd probably still be open to selling or trading but for now I will just rock them.

No those are on his car now. He's selling the Brand New In Boxes set. If you read that it would be clear. It also says his motivation is he would like something oem.

Why don't you buy them? Why stop at 4 sets?

[Volv'n8R]

I have a set of 4 17" volans I'd like to replace with the Elbrus rims you've got. They're a little banged up but I wouldn't say they're unrepairable. I'd be interested in doing a trade +cash for your rims if you're up for that?

Hmm, snap some shots of them for me.......would you be able to get a few of any damages as well? Any bends? Smooth ride at highway speeds?

So I still have the BNIB set sitting at my father's and am still entertaining the thought of switching to something else.

Local would be best........

We may be able to work in my tires as well.....

I am looking for a nice, straight set of OEM 17's......

As I said I would be open to discussing working my tires into the deal w/ the BNIB wheels but for that to happen I'd need a decent, straight set of preferably Perfos w/ nice and evenly worn tires.

The tires are Sumitomo HTR+ 215/45/17, rotated every other oil change and PERFECTLY worn.....if they've even worn at all. The setup rides extremely well. They have roughly 5K miles on them or so. They have never touched anything but the road.

Anyhow, thoughts are welcome.....just shoot a PM or post here and I'll respond when I can.

Perfo's, wtf? get some volans or titans!!!

Sure, if there was a decent set available for trade of some sort.

I wouldn't mind Perfos at all........she would sleep again like the good ol' days of the 15's.

I think that's what agitates me the most about these current wheels.....I really like the style and appearance but I really miss not standing out as much.

[--Aaron--]

Looks like there is a trade sort of thinger in the works.....I'll update accordingly.

[jschaefer7406]

Aaron,

Seems I suggested when you bought these that OEM would look nicer, but you didn't agree . What wheels are you trading for?

Joe

P.S. - Not to hijack your F/S thread, but are you coming for that AWD bumper soon? Sure could use the cash for my tune ...
