FS: Complete set of 18" CupII Replica Wheels 18x8.5 and 18x10 VERY Nice Condition!
I am selling a very nice and very rare set of 18” CupII Replica wheels. These were offered in the late 90s and early 2000s by both Mille Miglia and TechArt. Although, the sizes and offsets offered by both companies were the same, so I suspect that they all came from the same place. They are 18x8.5 ET52 and 18x10 ET47.
I bought these from a gentleman that got them as part of his 996 purchase and had no intent of using them on his car. When I got them they had Dunlop snows on them, which I had removed. The interesting thing I noted was that both the wheels AND the tires had 2001 date stamps on them which leads me to believe that they only ever had the one set of tires mounted on them. On top of that, the snows I removed had virtually full tread depth all around, so I am guessing they saw very, VERY little use…..and the condition of the wheels seems to back that up.
The Good: These wheels are in remarkable condition! The paint is very glossy, they have no curb marks and they spin straight as an arrow! Very, VERY nice wheels for their age!
The Bad: It looks like someone may have stored them on their faces at some point in time. 3 of the 4 have scuffing and/or scratching around the lug holes. The lug holes appear to stick out past the lip of the wheel, so they would be hitting the ground if you laid them on their faces. The marks range from light abrasions in the paint to large scratches that extend to the aluminum below the paint. After reviewing my pictures below, it seems as though my flash washed out most of these imperfections, so in the very last picture, I have circled the damage in red. I will work on getting some pictures of this ASAP.
On top of that there are a few miscellaneous scratches in the paint that appear to be from storage. Nothing horrible, but certainly worth mentioning.
I am asking $800/shipped/insured/obo anywhere in the lower 48.
