Thanks guys, I love this thing....and we are certainly spoiled out here with some of the roads at times...

Poofy- the wheels are up on the FS forum on a couple of boards. I've got them listed at $1100 with relatively new tires (4000 mi or so).

The tires are something real basic, Federal Super Steel, I think in 245 front and 275 rear. I went with them because I was pretty certain I was going to be changing wheels at the time anyway. They certainly aren't fancy, but they get the job done. They set me back around $700 after tax/mount/balance, etc.

So I figure they're not worth a lot, maybe $400, and the wheels are food for around $700 in the current condition (could use refinishing), so I am starting at $1100.

Open to offers though. These wheels are exceedingly hard to come by. I'm probably a fool for letting them go, but keeping them with the new set is out of the question, ya know? Feel free to make me an offer if you are interested. I have better pics of the wheels themselves in the FS section, and I can take more if you like.

Cheers
Dave

no need for that you just need to know how to buy so the wife doesn't know what you bought or how much you spent.

Fair price. But I think I'm regretfully going to pass for now. My plan was to get a set of stock wheels to run square and my pops was going to buy the for fronts for his e34. And the EVO 3 is on my shopping list. Did I mention that I uploaded my evolve tune this morning$$? Where does it end, and I was so in love with the stock car. They do look that good on your car, subtle, just how I like it. On a side note, I was thinking of a wrap too. Make sure to let us follow along when you get started. I'm a little scared but I think I can get it it done. Maybe this winter.

I've got 19" reps, too. Didn't really think there was a market for them.

Well how much do you want? I'm just kidding don't answer that. I know they are heavy and prone to crack, but I would want them to commute with so I could save expensive tires for drives and the track. That's why I need my square set up first.

Heavy, yes. Cracks I don't know. Haven't had problems and I've smacked some wicked pot holes. Shrug.

His wife was probably the first to know about his monoballs.
