On the other hand, buying used, very lightweight, race wheels can be a crapshoot...I don't think they would warrant a full retail price under any circumstances. I was thinking somewhere around $1200/set was in the ballpark, imho.

I agree with both ULLOSE and MWOOD. You never know when you'll find that perfect customer. At the same time, they're used wheels and paying full price without a warranty isn't real smart. I'm one of those that talks big when it comes to light wheels but too cheap to pay for them.....At least right now.

he decided not to sell them until later in the season, no matter since we have a set of 16 lb Kodiaks in the garage that I need to get around to resealing

Did you mean "resealing" or "reselling"?

I have 18x8 SSR GT2s (not for sale at this time).

They are about 17.1 lbs or something like that, about 1/2 lbs heavier than the old school SSR comps. They look better than the comps IMHO.

Looks nice. I thought you didn't like black wheels? Personally, I really like the look of the black center wheels, in general...

Awwww Man, I was going to do the black P45's on a silver car......Now I'm just going to look like a big copycat minus the fender gap the Bilsteins provide...

No really, they look good and I am really thinking about some black OZ's once I get this whole house buying thing behind me.....

not a fan of black wheels on a silver car, but they should do a good job of hiding all that OE brake pad dust

Here's a shot of mine with black ultralegerras. I like how they look in person, but every photo I see reminds me of the "tweel"

I don't.... But it was that or gold. I love the silver Mazdaspeed wheels, but they wont take the TPMS and they are 3X the price. So these will do for now and like baggy said the brake dust will blend right in.

If somebody would get some Royal Blue P45's in stock (18x8 correct offset) I would be sorely tempted for my Winning Blue.

Give them a call, they had blue at one time. You can also get in on their GB on Nasioc, you just add yourself to the list with what you want and they will have them made.

Looks like they list the blue in a 56mm hub, you could have that fixed easy enough.

They just sent me a second set of center caps, for free, as the first set did not clear the real axle stub. Great service.
