:( Must give them up.

These have been sitting in my closet like little ninjas - I wanted to keep them on the RS-T forever because the curves flow perfectly with the 2g curves, but unfortunately they only have 1mm of space around the wilwood 6 piston calipers. I felt unsafe with that little clearance, so I had to get different wheels. I'm the original owner. They have been powder coated black by a local shop and have a little sparkle in them (looks absolutely crazy at night or when they spin and the sun hits em.) Center caps are included and are powdercoated red(you can paint them something else easily), They have yokohama avid H4s on them and balanced, 2 are practically brand new and the other 2 have a few more miles but, I'd still say 90-95% of tread left. Avid H4s are superquiet, handle great, and have 60,000 mile lifespan. One tire needed a plug from a nail, so it's been repaired.

They look great on a black 2g. They are a discontinued design so you don't see them anymore. I remember the ford probe guys would search everywhere for them and spend $$$ to get old ones.

For tires and wheels I'm looking for $999 + shipping, or pick them up at that my place in socal. I think they are worth it, but PM offers.

One wheel requires more balancing weights than the others, so the guy at the tire center told me to put that one on the back. I didn't run the balancing machine nor do I have one at home, ha, so I can't tell you what the deal is, but I always have that wheel on the back and I don't feel any shimmy when I drive (and I drive fast.)


THESE ARE THE MOST PERFECT WHEELS FOR A 2G IMO - only if you ignore superlight wheels of course. I'm sure the OGs on the board remember these

Diameter x width? Offset?

And tire size of the yoko's?

Thanks!

Wheels are 17x7 but due to the design they look as big as my 18s - it's kind of an illusion with the spirals and lack of lip.

Tires are 215/45 IIRC

Beautiful wheels, wish I lived in Cali. Those would look awesome with some red lugs & calipers on my silver 99. :(

Sry Dan, didn't know you were in the market for wheels. Replied to your PM.

I've tried to find offsets of the wheels with google, and have found two sources that said 38mm. I may just have to measure them myself, but I'll keep searching.

Well they have two sets of lug sizing on them, I think the other set might actually be 100x5, since that ring of holes is smaller than the 114.3x5 ring on the wheel.

Anyways, I think Dan is going to pick them up today, so they may soon be sold (but still in the 2gnt fam)

Local buyer is out because of change in priorities, so they are back on the market. PM me for more info if interested.
