Forumites,

I am thinking of selling my current set of factory RX8 wheels and tyres.
3 of the wheels have gutter rash on them, and all of them have 225/45/18 Sumitomo HTR ZIII tyres (factory size) which have travelled approx. 2000km.
They are good tyres (google them) and I am getting the same brand (different size at 245/40/18) for the new wheels.

Just looking for a reasonable offer for these.
I am located in Newington, near Sydney Olympic Park.

Please PM me if interested.

 

For those who wondered what the HTR ZIII (not to be confused with HTR ZII), Tirerack tested and rated them better than Bridgestone RE050A Pole Position, Yokohama Advan Sport and Continental Contisport3. (Test car is BMW 3 Series)

Test result here:

From my experience, it is quieter, more compliant and more comfortable than RE040.
Grips just as well and steering response is just as sharp.
Treadwear rating is UTOQ 300, so it'll last yonks.

 

As a reference. I bought a set with no gutter rash, new tyres for $1100.

Then I sold the original set with gutter rash & worn tyres for $500.

The $500 sale went to a Lebo who never tried to bargain me down (rare for a Lebo) so that told me I was selling them too cheap.

Sorry guys and gals, came to a decision last night and it looks like I'll only be selling the tyres at this point in time (if there is such an interest)
I've decided to repair and keep the factory rims in case I need to go back to stock.
