Enkei RPF1 cntr caps TPMS New Michelin tires

Category: Wheels & Tires
Price: $1200
Private or Vendor Listing: Private Listing
Part Fits (you may select multiples): Others, Series I, Series II
Location (US State/Canada/Int): OH
Item Condition: Used

These pictures were taken just before I sold my RX8. There is minor cosmetic damage, curb rash and one has a scrape from a breaker bar, plus scuffs in the lug holes. Normal wear and tear. See pics. The set has factory TPMS in working order. The tires are Michelin Primacy 245/45-R18 all season with 95% tread left. It was my first time not getting a dedicated sports car tire. These tires have quieter smoother ride, fill the wheel wells, and make it easier to power slide around corners. These tires are great for the road but not what you want for auto cross or track. They do have three times the tread life. These tires are oversized and when first installed I had a minor rub in rear solved by squeezing the lip of rear fender, and they probably won't work well with a lowered front end.

Asking $1500.00 for the set. I am located in central Ohio, prefer local pickup as it is probably over $100.00 to ship.

PRICE REDUCED $1200.00


You can PM me or email me at joelivary@aim.com

Thanks for looking

Are these 18x9 or 18x8?

Also, they look like the SBC finish. Is that correct?

Yes it is SBC finish, the wheels are 18x8 the offset is about 10mm over stock, my guess is 60. To the eye it looks like a half inch wider stance on each side. It has been described as a "Stingray" look and "Fast and Loud" look by my friends. The wheel wells are filled, stance is wider, more aggressive, but do not rub. They look good.

Look on the backside of the wheel around the hub. The specs are listed there... this way you don't have to use ricer math. I'm sure if your stance is wider that means the offset is lower than stock on a stock based width...

They are 18x8.5 ET30 22TK A356 That makes them a half inch wider rim and 1 centimeter wider stance than I originally thought. Thank you for telling me where to find the information on the inside hub. Much better than "ricer math."

These tires are great, they only have 2000 miles on them. These are top of the line Michelin's, they cost me almost $1,000.00 to buy, balance, mount, with nitrogen inflation. These tires handle and drive great, 40 mph no brake cornering,with no slide or squeal, handles like a go cart. They break traction gradually and predictably, 75 mph cloverleaf ramps are no problem. Three times the lifespan, much better in the wet, and light snow. These won't get loud and hydroplane after 10,000 miles and won't need replaced at 15,000 miles. They have 20mm more rubber per tire on the pavement than stock, that is 80mm more rubber on the road.

No I don't want to sell the wheels separately.
