my volks are considered Diamond Black as well. I may be able to sell them for 1500 without OEM swap...if I can source a set of stock wheels so I can sell my car. My buyer wants stock wheels.

But are you willing to ship? I am also curious how they would look on a Titanium Gray.

Lesper4 did a photochop of the wheels on WB...maybe if you post a similar picture, I could get him to chop them onto your car. Willing to ship, yes.....if I am able to find a set of stockers so I can sell my car.

I also mounted them on my wifes 2005 WWP...they looked great.

Here's the chop of the wheels on a WB.

Here is a pic. If you or Lesper4 could photoshop it that would be great. I have some more pics in my garage.

I'll get to the chop tomorrow....I'm a bit rusty with the photochop program, but should be working with Lesper4 tomorrow on a calendar project.

Bump. I am still looking for a set of 19" gunmetal Volks in perfect condition. If I am unable to buy Kwescott's Diamond Black Volk GT-7's, I am still interested in other offers.

why are you selling yours or do you think you could find me some kind of deal? If you want to sell yours, give me an offer and then we can go from there. Thanks.

what do you mean find you a deal?
I've always want to sell it, because I've had it for almost 4 years I want something newer and smaller like 17". But I still havn't found what I'm looking for...
If I'm gonna sell it asking price will be $2500, reasonable price, you know gun metal is discontinued, not many people have it , rx8 offsets are extremely hard to find. Especially the staggered setup. Everything is perfect, no scratch, no curb rash, it's like new! Discontinued Toyo T1S, it still have about 3-4K miles. I'll even throw you a extra brand new rays valve stem free!

03-13-2008, 09:17 AM
What about $2200 for everything?

19X8.5 front 19X9.5 rear, 245 front and 275 rear, NEVER have any rubbing issue, no need to roll fender. Well if your car is lowered then you should. those tires have about 24K but they doesn't look bad at all. I guess my alignment are all perfect and tire pressure are always balance so never have any problem with the tires, never nailed. One of the valve stem had a leak back in November because I see bubbles when i wash the car, so I ordered a new one, but after taking it to my local BigO, they told me it's still very good and no need to replace. I ended up having a extra valve stem. $2500 firm, sorry bro, but if I'm selling it now, I'll need that $300. You can have my word, it's in PERFECT condition, well you'll come pick it up anyway if you're gonna buy it, and you'll know it's worth it.

Rx8Fanatic, why are you wanting to get a new set of wheels? I think Boss 20's are awesome on your car. I just wish they looked as good on mine. C RED is a PITA to color coordinate, ;)

Yeah but when you were trying to sell them a few months back you were going to sell them for $1900-$2200. Your price right now is too high because if I bought them, I would need to spend another grand on tires which would cost me $3500 for the rims and tires. At that price, I could almost buy the rims brand new. If the tires you have on the rims had been brand new, then your price would be reasonable. If you are willing to lower the price, I would still be interested.

OK, here's the deal! my brembo calipers will be done from the powder coating next week and most likely I'll TRY to put them on next weekend along with my coilovers. IF, the wheels DO NOT clear my BBK, which everybody said. I'll let it go $2200 you pick it up here in san francisco. I'll sell it anyway, but you're first in the line. Fair enough?

you think it'll clear?

Allright. If you are even willing to let them go for 2k then we could call it a done deal!

you know what, have you ever consider this:

look 90% similar to the SF Challenge, all 4 plus NEW tires cost under $1000. That's a great deal I found you.

Nopstnz8
03-17-2008, 02:43 AM
So $2200 is the best deal you would be willing to give me?

PFFFFT! Copper red is the EASIEST.... IT HAS to have sand seats, becuase it has to be a Shinka, therefore you have two colors in rims. Gold and Bronze. They both look SICK!

Ti Gray and Galaxy grey are the hardest, by far. Either, alloy, Gunmetal or Black, and none really look right...

How is the ride for a staggered setup with 245's in the front and 275's in the rear compared to the stock non staggered setup for a daily driver? Thanks.

grip a lot better, I've never taken it too serious at the street. I feel no different in speed but you'll know when you brake and turn, the tires grip really well.
