ITT, I get new wheels!

[MaximA32]

So I've been debating on wheels and other such stuff ever since I learned how much of a tax refund I was getting. I've been scouring the local Craigslist for a few days trying to find something that I like and within my budget. Get home from work last night and I spot the wheels I want. Call the guy and he says they've only been up for an hour and he's gotten tons of calls already. "I'm on my way!"

Here's what I picked up:


The guy had them listed for $350, I get there and offered him $300 and he took it. They're the forged Rays from the G35. Fronts are 19x8 +30 and the rear are 19x8.5 +33. They fit AMAZING.

Lookin good dude!

[MaximA32]

Ah thank ya. I drove all the way out past Burbank to pick them up..

[downedzephyr]

$300 for them? what a steal!

[MaximA32]

Yup! With 3 usable tires. Mega win!

[Mr1der]

yeah, that's pretty ridiculous.

hell, I bet you can't touch one of them at a dealer for 300.

need to see the car from the front and back now Kenny.

[Eikon]

HUGE SCORE!!! Nice work Kenny.. they look excellent on your car!

[Repo Man]

You flat STOLE those brother! Well-played sir, well-played.

[MaximA32]

Not even for 300 EACH. And soon for pics.

HUGE SCORE!!! Nice work Kenny.. they look excellent on your car!

I'm a pretty big fan of them as well.

You flat STOLE those brother! Well-played sir, well-played.

Thank god for them innernets.

[IanS]

That is a win. They look awesome.

Any rubbing issues? Are you running stock suspension?

[MaximA32]

No issues thus far. Running Eibach Pro-Kit with stock struts. I was a little worried about the possibility of rubbing but when it got set down, worries alleviated.

[TOMMY VERCETTI]

Nice Wheels, But you need to get some Coilovers to go Lower.

[MaximA32]

No I don't. I go lower, that's going to require a roll and that's not something I'd like to do.

[Razi]

I think the height is fine.

The wheels fit real well with the car.

[captainfalco]

Fits well. Good show.

[MaximA32]

And to think I almost bought an iPad instead... :

[HashiriyaS14]

WOW, that is the deal of the century.

I'll pay you $500 shipped, lol.


I need spares for my S14 once I go 5-lug and those are boss. Time to go check Craigslist

EDIT: NVM, 19" is too big. I need to find 17's or 18's.

[Eikon]

My only complaint would be the 19" tires. Is it still true that 19's are much more expensive than 18's? Even 20's are cheaper from what I understand.

[MaximA32]

I've already priced them out and found the Hankooks I want to go with for $136/tire. That's my good guy price from a shop I used to work at.

[Nrthsidelongbeach]

Guy must've really needed that money. Love the way the look on your max.

[hitbychance]

looks good!

[Ace2cool]

No. Effing. Way. I wish I could get the forged G35 wheels for $600. $300 is just ridiculous! So lucky, man.

[MaximA32]

Haha. Yeah, gotta find those CL crackhead deals. Took me like 3 weeks to find the right wheels at the right price.
