FS: 18" 5Zigen Super6 wheels
Hey all. I have a set of 18x8.5" 5Zigen Super6 wheels in Bright Silver finish with a chrome lip, and with a +48mm offset and 114.3 bolt pattern up for grabs. They fit my lowered 8 with no problems and I have a pretty low RX-8 (Koni shocks and Sprint springs). No rubbing at all. These wheels are TPMS compadible.
They are also lightweight, only 18-lbs, I even attached a picture of the rim on the scale. These are pretty rare- 5Zigen stopped making them a while ago and I have never found this particular wheel in 8.5" wide before, even used.
Here's the bad- one wheel has a tiny bend in the lip (see pic). The bend is very small and didn't leak any air, and I ran fine with it for over 3500 miles and at speeds well above legal with no whobbling whatsoever. I wouldn't sell an unsafe wheel.
Also, the same wheel has a 1.5" long rash in the chrome lip. I am almost possitive Discount Tire put this mark in the wheel. I attached a picture of it below.
All other wheels are in great condition and only have the typical wear and tear associated with wheels that have been on a car for over 25,000 miles, but no other bends.
I am including the plastic Team 5Zigen center caps, the required hub centering rings, and a brand new set of chrome-plated Gorilla tuner lug nuts with adaptor.
Alrighty, here's the pics:

UPDATE: Price is now a steal!! See post https://www.rx8club.com/showpost.php...3&postcount=39
If anyone has any questions or would like more pics, please let me know.

That means a retard that didnt know what the H#@! he was doing balanced your wheels .
Now ....When you pull the weights off it will leave little damaged areas where they were.
They should have been Static Balanced using Stick on weights thatgo inside the wheel.
Pound on outside weights are for steel wheels .

Thanks chet!
Ok, I think the shipping is worrying some people. So I ran some estimates, and I can do $500 SHIPPED to anywhere unless you're in HI or AK. The wheels are cleaned, boxed, packaged, and ready to go. If you pay by PalPay, I'll even eat the PayPal fees.
Once again, the new price is $500 SHIPPED!!!
Buy 'em up people! 18x8.5" +45mm 18lbs wheels with center caps!
