yeah, those wheels look nice, but TINY

Mid 7, those look like polished wheels in your signature. They're nice. What are they?

I am...just retiring from racing...I'm pursuing a change in family status

BTW, my Comps come with 245/45-17 and 275/40-17 Hoosier R3S03s on them with only 2 heat cycles. The wheels are race-only and have 5 track event weekends on them...They were purchased new in Dec '01...

if youre talknig abotu putting 18s on the stock suspension, yes, it looks totally fine and does not look at all liek a 4x4. when i first saw an FD w/ 18's on stock suspension i thought thta it was lowered! i couldnt image 18's w/ a really low spring setup.....can yo say fender rub???

Skateworld,

I received a PM from an insterested buyer.

The SSRs are for sale with 2-heat-cycles on the Hoosier R3S03s which are already mounted on the wheels. My price will include the tires on the wheels. The Hoosiers are 245/45-17 mounted on the 8.5 x 17 and 275/40-17 mounted on the 9.5 x 17. The setup is ideally suited for the track racing enthusiast...

A local buyer is preferred--I don't want to deal with hauling the wheels/tires to UPS for the buyer...Each wheel/tire weighs ~36 lbs; very light for such wide Hoosiers...

mld7, your racing harts don't appear to have bolts on them? they look much better than the close-up shot of the "generic" c2 you posted

That's carcrazy's car with silver Volk SE37A wheels. They are very nice wheels and they look great.

Do you recognize the Montego car in the backround, Manny?

Edit: Oops, nevermind, I thought you meant the picture he posted rather than the small pic under his forum name.

Max,

Yeah I see your car in the background with black Volk SE37Ks...Now that I look closer, Carcrazy's car just looks stunning with those Volks. Are those silver centers with polished/machined lips? I wonder if they come in 9 x 17s all the way around with 45-mm offsets (hee hee hee)...

Wow you have pritty good eyes Sleeper...
either that or your comp screen is 40"...

the only reason they dont look like they have bolts are because the pic is too small to see them...
they are there though..
my personal favorites are the Volk III...


they are discontinued.. ive been trying to get my hands on some for so long now...
