SOLD: 14" aluminum directional wheels and tires
« on: October 13, 2007 - 01:20:56 PM »
Am about to buy new tires and wheels for my car. Can anyone use these alum directionals? Am unsure of the manufacturer. These wheels were purchased just before I bought the car several years ago. I would assume that they have less than 1000 miles on them (since I have less than 500 myself). The tires look very good as well. and probably have 80-90% tread remaining. Tires are:

P215/60R14 front
P245/60R14 rear


SOLD

EDIT: updated pic of tread depth

I could use something better than the mix matched 14" 500's with bald and slowly leaking tires that are on my car right now. I'm about 8 hours south of you near Corpus Christi. The ga$ to go get them would almost make it cheaper to ship them.  :violin:

What do the rims fit like on your car? Close to the fender/quarter lips?

they have about 1 3/4" clearance on the springs and wheel wells. Lots of space there, never any rubbing front or back. Let me know if you are interested I can take detailed pics of clearances. My car has all stock suspension. FedEx ground will probably be between $60 and $75 since you're in Texas. Maybe cheaper

Still thinking about it... Gotta see if I can get enough $$ together. It's a bit tight right now with everything else I still need for the car. :'(

Sorry Mike, I forgot to reply back here.

I went ahead and got some wide 17's all the way around. Got a real good deal on them I couldn't pass up.

Let me know what you need. I found a few good sources for tires/wheels when I was looking around.

I went looking around quite a few web sites but I ended up finding the wheels I liked on Ebay. The tires I wanted are being discontinued so I had to hunt around to see who still had them. I finally found someone with the right tires and in the right sizes also on Ebay. If you're looking for narrower tires than what I was, you should have a much better selection.

Here's the two Ebay listers I got my tires and wheels from:
http://motors.search.ebay.com/_W0QQsassZwheelindex

http://stores.ebay.com/tiresfast_17-inch-tires_W0QQcolZ4QQdirZ1QQfsubZ6QQftidZ2QQtZkm

I ended up getting two 17"X9" and two 17X10.5" FR500 Replica wheels for $409 + TX tax and free shipping. The tires I got were two 275/40ZR17 and two 315/35ZR17 Sumitomo HTR Z's for $479 + $85 S/H. Add in $60 to mount and balance once I got them, and I came out at just under a grand for the full set of tires and wheels.
