WTT/WTS: 19" Axis Hiros (Staggered) for 18" OEM or 18" Aftermarket

Howdy!

I recently purchased a 05 WB 8 and it has a staggered Axis setup on them. Since this is my ONLY vehicle, I need to put something on there a little less drag/track and a little more daily driver. Right now I have the following on the car: 3,000 miles on the rear tires and 30k on the fronts :/ The fronts still have some tread left, but need to be replaced in the next 5k or so.

fronts 19x8.5 45mm 235/35/19 Kumo SPTs ( I am pretty sure, I can check tomorrow)
rears 19x9.5 55mm 275/30/19 Kumo SPTs

I like the 09 wheels, but a standard 04-07 OEM setup with either new all season tires (or lots of life left) or 4 wheels + some cash. I also would consider aftermarket 18"s. I like the look of bronze wheels and I also like the Enkei RPF1s.

I am in San Antonio. I wouldn't mind driving to Austin and I will be in the DFW area during Columbus day weekend (4 day pass!) . The wheels were like $400/450 each new (according to the invoice I got in the glove box), so if I sell them I am thinking $1250 + split shipping. I really need to get this taken care off, so I am interested in offers! I will take more detailed pics tomorrow, but attached are some demo pics.

One wheel has some minor curb rash on just the lip where the wheel mounts, and another wheel has some residue that comes off but I am afraid to clean it any more than I did without the proper cleaning supplies. I don't want to mar the paint! 80% of it came off with a microfiber towel, water, and 10 minutes of scrubbing. Overall, they are (to me) in good shape. I just don't like their looks (too big and the color does not match too well with the WB) and I cant afford to replace tires all the time or have two sets of wheels: I need a daily driver.

If you do want to trade, I would prefer somewhere in a 200ish mile radius so we could have them swapped that day. I don't have any other form of transportation while I am here.

Thanks!
Chris

I've got some 18" Stern Hyper Mesh 2 rims that I would trade you they have nitto Invo's on hte front and Riken Raptors on the rear. BTW I highly doubt you will get anywhere near the price you're asking, but maybe.

Thanks for the info. After looking at other fs threads you are probably right. On your wheels I gather they are staggered. If I am wrong pm me with color and more info/pics. Thanks.
