ViperVette Posted December 11, 2006 Report Share Posted December 11, 2006 Okay, this time I will actually throw up some decent pictures as soon as I get back after work today.Let me start out by saying I need these things freakin' gone! And now that the Volution Vs are on sale through IPD (As Seen Here) this is a great chance to get a set of wheels for cheap.Okay, so the story behind these wheels... its a long one.They started out on the IPD V70R. They were supposedly bent during a photoshoot by a magazine, which worked out well as IPD had just picked up VST products and has sense thrown VSTs on the car (which retail at almost 1k$ a rim, btw.) The rims were then sold to Kevin, i.e. the Underlord in a group of 6. These two and the four that are now on his car(kept the straight ones for himself ). He was just looking to get rid of these and I, wanted to go with a split set-up 18s up front and 19s in the back. Just figured I would take them to get straightened and all would be good(and for a while it was!).So once I recieved them I got them straightened locally. The guy was unable to get them perfectly straight, however, he got them pretty good and then balanced them on a Hunter Roadforce with some sticky BF Goodrich KDW 2s on there. I was prefectly happy with the ride quality, vibration was only noticable at high speed and even then there wasn't much of it. However, my father didn't like the thought (he is a anti-mod guy anyway) and being that I am financing the car through him, what he says goes. So I had to order two more 18s. Now I am running 18s all around These have just been sitting in my room for about 4 months and at this point I would rather have some money to buy xmas presents. I guess I have finally given up on the split rim set-up idea.As per the tires, they are BF Goodrich KDW 2s 235/35/19. Fit fine with no rubbing whatsoever on my car. I only ran them for about 500-1000 miles, they were on the rear of the car and mostly highway miles. Which all adds up to little to no wear on the tires.Like I said, I really just want these things out of my room. Send me a PM with an offer if you are interested. I know that I can get about 150$ for each tire. I would prefer not to have to take them off. But if I do, its fine. I just really want them gone. Please don't try to lowball me too much. I am more then willing to take a loss, just not a slaughter. EDIT Please mind the pictures, the rims have been sitting in my room for quite a while. So they are pretty dirty. Will clean them up nicely before shipment.

Patrickw Posted December 20, 2006 Report Share Posted December 20, 2006 good god would those fit a 96' 850R if they even went on, would it be possible to drive? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ViperVette Posted December 21, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 21, 2006 Pegs are 18x8 right? So the 8" wide wouldn't be a problem. However, has anyone put 19s on a 850 before? The tires being 235 will probably be too wide for the front though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
