You get it all in 1 group all mounted and balanced.

1. (4) Tires - Bridgestone Blizzak's WS-60 (225/50R-17) with 50% tread left (6/32 out of the original 12/32 tread left) so you should still have a couple winters left in them as I used them for 3 & 1/2 and they gripped the road like it owed them money. LOVE Blizzak's in the ice/snow. I know they're worn that's why the big discount. As you know the big price when buying new ones are the wheels & sensors.

2. (4) TPMS sensors. - Siemens 315mhz sensors 7.5nm - Because I thought what's the point of having the sensor system if it didn't work in the winter too.

3. (4) 17x8 O.Z. Crono HT Bright Silver 'racing' wheels. These are HAWT looking!
I got nothing but compliments everywhere with them. I found it sad that my winter wheels looked far better than my summer (18' OEMs) ones. As stated these were discountinued awhile back so you can't find awesome looking ones like this anymore.

There is no damage to anything (Rims/Wheels/Sensors) other than the normal wear as measured to the remaing tire tread.

I bought these alltogether at Tire Rack for $2000 but since it's used & because I need the $ for new snow shoes for the new car I'm letting them all go for $700 OBO plus shipping - or you can come & pick them up & see in person for no shipping fee.

Why am I selling these if they are so great?!? Because alas as said I had to sell my baby RX-8 (Named "Vera") because another hot lil' number caught my eye. I sold it for a Silver Saturn Sky Redline!! More Hawtness! But I really wish I could have afforded to keep the RX-8 too.

If your looking for dependable winter RX-8 driving here you go. I used to drive my RX-8 all year in Michigan's U.P. so you know they work great in heavy snow/ice.
I opted for the 17' instead of the stock 18' size wheels as I heard they cut through the snow better.

Gimmie a yell & they are yours!

P.S. Oh! Forgot to add that if you want to come see them in person I live just south of Kalamazoo Michigan (Portage) which is just 2 hours from either Chicago or Detroit (I'm between them).

Are they still available? I'll pm you when I get out of class.

svensweden

Yep, still available. I posted them yesturday. Hopefully you'll get them before anyone else.

svensweden

Anyone who has ever TRIED to drive the stock tires in the winter knows full well: When the temp goes under 20 Degrees F, the stock tires turn into death-traps.

Heck, I got stuck 2 times on my 1st date with my now wife when we drove around the Soo with a light sprinkle of snow.

Don't put yourself through the aggrivation or the danger! Your 'worth it' so get these & be able to drive through it.

The stock tires were also horrendous in the rain too.
Heck, buy mine & get some new summer tires too.

Will you sell just the tires without the wheels?

svensweden

Not at this time.
It's all or nothing as I'm not spending all my time trying to sell every part separate.
To get them off the rims, mail them, I'd be hard pressed at that point to make anything off them & then trying to sell the rest still....
Not trying to be mean, it just isn't worth it for me.

Heeroguy

do you ship, trying to get feelers on a couple sets of winter wheels atm

svensweden

Sorry it took me so long to resond back Heeroguy.

Yes, I'll take them to the local pak & ship or wherever needed to ship them if that's what's needed.
I don't know how much it would cost but I think an estimate I heard was that sending everything would cost around $100. But I didn't hear that from the shippers themselves so it could be more or less for all I know.

svensweden

Have had quite a few P/M's sent to me showing interest & even a few say they wanted them. Unfortunatley no one has come through with the cash yet.
So I say again, times runnning out. The cold is coming.
Who is serious and wants this great deal before they slide off the road somewhere (hopefully somewhere safe)???

Cash takes them.
Stock Rims are not as good even with 'winter tires' on them cutting through the slush/snow.

Common,,,, aren't you/your honey's safety worth it??

svensweden

Tires & Rims have been sold.
Thanks Rotary-Kytten!!!
May they serve you well. =)

Rotary-Kytten

Thanks for selling them to me and I hope you enjoy your new baby, she was a bit sexy I'll admit Buying them means all of SW Ohio will have a light snow year and I won't need them so the rest of you around here are off the hook for needing winter tires, lol.

So, how many 17x8 O.Z. Crono HT Bright Silver 'racing' wheels with Bridgestone Blizzak's WS-60 (225/50R-17) can fit in the back seat of an RX-8? That's right people - FOUR!

Thanks again and I know I will enjoy them.
