FS: Bronze Rx8 Wheels, tires, and black lugs+locks
Name - Brandon L.
Location - Richmond, VA
Means of Contact - here
Description - (below)
Price - $1,000 (TPMS from RX8 additional $50) - no trades
I'm buying a Miata so I can stop modding my 6. So I'm selling these to finance the purchase.
Wheel info: set of RX8 wheels I purchased with 2000 miles on them and had them powdercoated by the well-known Quangalang. Wheels are 5x114.3 - 18x8 - +50mm offset
Tire info: Hankook Ventus V12 Evo 235/40/18 - about 1500 miles on them
http://www.caranddriver.com/reviews/...12_evo_page_10
Lug Nuts: Black Spline drive two-piece McGard lugs with wheel locks
Centercaps are stock silver but are included.
My cost:
Wheels - 300
Powdercoating - 450
Tires - 500
Lug Nuts - 80
Mounting and balancing - 80
My total cost: $1,410
Asking $1,000
Have RX8 TPMS for additional $50 (currently not installed)
Rotational distance within one half of one percent of stock 6 so speedo will remain accurate if you have a Mazda6. Mine needs moar low, but won't get it since it's going to be the dd.

Link to never before seen pictures of wheels from powdercoater when first batch of powder was discovered to be bad (stripped and re-coated before I picked them up, great guy):

Aw crap.
REAL powdercoating info is they were coated by HQ Coating (http://www.hqpowdercoating.com/) in Chantilly, VA. Quangalang is the forum name of the guy that runs the business but he's not on this forum.

Holy infinite information Brandon! That first pic of them on the car looks awfully familiar....... None of the pics are really serving up the beauty of the wheels. As nice as the pics portray, their even better in person. I would venture to say, the color is more brilliant in person. Anyway, GLWS and I heard you lost out on the M Edition?

Yea the guy sold it after he recovered from swine flu and didn't call me to tell me he had recovered. I'm trying to buy Scott's black 94 but he has to find a white one to replace it first and he's slow to reply...
