Evolution VIII Wheels OEM 17x8

Price: $550

Item Condition: Used

Hey Crew,

I have a set of Mitsubishi Evolution VIII OEM Enkei wheels. I've been sitting on them for quite a few years. These wheels came off of my 2003 Evo VIII within three months of owning the car. I ordered my Evo from Japan and obtained one of the first fifty ever sent to US soil, so I am the sole owner of this set of wheels.

I recently threw them on my RX8 while I waited for my new wheels to arrive. They are 17 x 8 with a +35 offset. They fit perfectly on the RX8 and they look pretty decent. They are exceptionally light and would make a great track wheel or a dedicated winter wheel. I unfortunately don't have the weight of the wheel, but I can do a little research for those who would like to know.

They are in excellent condition, with one very small area of rash that is hardly noticeable unless I point it out. I am asking for $550 plus shipping for the wheels and tires in their current condition. The wheels are wrapped in the stock tires, which are Yoko Advans, size 235/45 17. They have quite some camber wear from tracking the tires. I can get better pics if interested. Offers welcome.

Hey. Yes, they are 5x114.3. I see you have an Evo from your avatar. Very nice! These would bolt right up, since they came from my VIII. Price is negotiable, so PM me an offer and we can go from there if you're interested.

Oh, my bad. I can see it's a two-door now. Haha. Champaign is about a 2.5 hour drive from Crystal Lake. I would say they have a total of roughly 4,000 miles on them. The tires are extremely soft, so the camber wear is fairly dramatic. The tires really don't have much life on them, but then again the price isn't for the tires but the actual wheels.

As far as sizing, I'm confident they would fit your Kia without an issue. The clearance is designed for the large Brembo brake caliper on the Evo, so I'm sure they will fit.

Whaaaaat? There was a cruise?!? Damn, it was a perfect day for one, too. That would've been amazing. I really need to check the local boards more. I am yet to do an RX8 cruise, but the Evo cruises I did were a blast.

Anyways, yes, you are more than welcome to shoot by and check them out. Hit me up here or with a PM and we can work something out.
