Default Killer Deal on Wheels & Tires

I have the following wheels and tires for sale:

Stock silver 997 GT3 wheels in excellent condition (about 2,500 miles of use); these really are like new: $2,800.00

CCW C-14 wheels in Riviera Blue with GT3 center caps. These are 18" wheels with a 9" wide front with 53 offset and 12" rear with 63 offset (eliminates the rear spacers). About 3K miles of use and also in excellent condition: $1,600.00

Toyo R888 tires with a lot of tread left - about 85% front and 80% rear minimum. 255 35R front and 315 30R rear: $700.00

I will ship any of the above sets for $150 via FedEx Ground to any CONUS addresses. They will also be insured for the full value including shipping costs.

If you buy the CCW's with the Toyo Tires (they are already mounted and balanced), then I will throw in the TPMS sensors which I purchased brand new earlier this year for an extra $100.00 (I paid $400.00) and the shipping only goes up to $180.00. So this entire set of excellent track wheels, tires and sensors would go for $2,580.00 shipped to your door (if you are CONUS).

These prices are firm since I feel that they are very fair. PM me if you are interested in any of these items. Detailed pictures will be emailed to serious buyers.

I think maybe 340Elise has transcended the need for wheels and tires.

I have more to sell actually, but I don't want to go overboard!

the offset for the RS rear wheel is different. both GT3 and RS has a space on the rear already. They remove the spacer for Japanese market

Trickery.

Actually I made a simple wooden rig which allowed me to precisely reduce the diameter of the caps to the exact size needed with a hole saw. Then I did a little sanding to get them looking pretty and had them painted along with the wheels. I hold them in place with RTV Blue silicon with a small beed along the rear inside edge. You only have to do this when you switch out tires and get them rebalanced (not often for me), so it is really easy to hold them in place and to remove them when needed. The silicon holds great, but it is soft and peels of fairly easy too (but not so easy as to just fall of over time.

It also helps that I cut them to fit snugly. You have to press them in with your hands and they are pretty darn tight already. The silicon just makes sure they do not fly out at speed. It held for the 3K miles that I had them on my car, and at an indicated speed of 192 (closer to 182 due to speedo error).

Btw, I would be happy to have the riviera blue wheels painted black if that is what you want. I will charge for it, but I think I can do it for about $300.00. You can have matt, satin, or gloss black. Or an other color for that matter.

Same can be done for the OEM silver wheels, but they will cost a little more.
