Most people have old skis and bikes cluttering their basements...we have expensive wheelsets.

Real bored today so I figured I'd drag out (most) of the wheels we have stacked in the basement...there's still some more but they wouldn't fit in the picture.

See if you can guess which ones belong to the S14

And now it's time for the shameless plug: Those beautiful polished 15 x 7" Work Ewing three piece modular wheels are for sale, with top of the line tires, 4 x 114.3, +17 offset for $900

I will never get rid of the ones on in my signature lol. They're off for the snow/salt/sand, but I don't drive the car in the snow, and not much in the winter either...it's been a mild winter so after it rains a while and most of the salt/sand is washed off the road, I sometimes take the car out, but with the stock 15" alloys...not gonna chance it with a $1700 wheelset.

Jeez, better selection than Tire Rack (sorry Grant)...

I see the two sets you had on your car.

What about the BBS rims? I'm betting they belong to a SUV.

The BBS rims, the Ace Lola's and the OZ Superleggera's are all from my brother's Audi A4 1.8 T.

And those yellow wheels aren't tractor wheels lol, even though they look it...they're 13 x 7" 2-piece welded steel wheels with insane negative offset, used on my dad's car (shown below) when it used to be an all out SCCA race car. He's since upgraded to nice 3-piece Revolution Racing wheels....

I saw 5 of the BBS wheels so I guessed the were SUV wheels and one was used as the spare...

Yeah, that's why i've come to hate winter...besides the terrible weather, it means the car doesn't see the light of day...salt is sooo corrosive, and I don't want it coming anywhere near my suspension components or wheels. The town I live in is ridiculously liberal with the dissemination of salt and sand too...the other day, there was not a DROP of snow on our street, and it was above freezing so nothing was sticking, and the plow truck went up TWICE dumping sand down...But hey, they don't care, they just get paid more overtime to clean up THEIR mess in the spring.
