I removed them from my MX-3 for two reasons:
1: I recently removed my ACT clutch due to its harshness in favor of a stock Exedy. With the grippiness of these tires, the New Exedy SLIPS. It no longer does this with my factory 15's.
2: My car is lowered a good 2-2.5"s....with these wheels & the stiff-a-- sidewalls on the tires, the car rides like total a-- & is almost unbearable. I'd only throw these wheels on to race the car, but I haven't had time to mess with that recently.
Tire Condition
The tires have approximately 400 miles of use on them. They are 205/50ZR16's. They were mounted on the wheels in early Spring of 06' and cost me $102 per tire shipped & $80 to mount/balance. I have barely driven my MX-3 this summer, and NEVER drag raced or did an auto-x event while these tires were on my car. As you can see in the pictures, the side-nubs are UNWORN (see the picture below). These typicall will wear off with one autox event.
Rim Condition
I originally bought these rims a year ago brand new for $515 shipped. I mounted some Kumho 711 tires onto them. Those tires sucked a-- so after Summer of 05' was up I removed the wheels for the winter & stored them. This summer, I mounted the Hankook's on them in the Spring. NOT ONE of these 4 wheels has ever been curbed. The gunmetal finish is in excellent condition. Only 2 of the 4 wheels did I notice any "scratches" on & of the scratches, they were less than 1" long & extremely minor & impossible to notice without getting up close. See pictures of each individual rim & tell me if you can see them, you need a good eye. These rims come with the factory carbon-fiber-look "Rota" center caps also. The wheels, without tires are LIGHT WEIGHT and weigh approx 14.2lbs each.
They are 40mm offset & 4x100mm lug pattern. They fit any 90-98 Protege / Ford Escort/Tracer and MX-3.
See pictures below for each wheel's condition:
I am asking $600 + shipping for the set. Shipping will be approx $50 to east-coast & 70-80 for west-coast people for all 4 wheels via FedEx.
I will also include a set of 16 Gorilla tuner lug nuts with key & a set of 4 wheel locks with key, as well as some wheel spacers I bought. (to widen the track) I spent over $100 on the lugnuts, locks & spacers alone, but I won't have any use for them after selling these wheels so they are also included.
