WTB: 5x114.3 Snow Wheels+Tires (must clear brembos)

I'm looking for a set of snow wheels and tires for my STi so they need to be 5x114.3 and clear brembos. Not looking to spend anything over $700, mainly looking for rotas but will consider everything and everything that will fit.
Show me what ya got,
John
* Edit - Forgot to mention, I don't care about curb rash or any other cosmetic damage as long as the wheels are not bent and balance. Will buy wheels separate too.

I have a set of gold bbs that I am going to be looking to sell. There is some curb rash and they have the factory tires on.

Would you be interested?

I would if it was just the wheels and the price would have to be right. I'm running my stock bbs with stock tires but the RE070's just can't take snow.

I was looking to get close to a set of tires for the ROTAs I picked up. I need to buy the tires first, then use the money from the sale to justify buying the tires.

I would like to get $550 for them. Let me know if that was in your price range and we can work something out.

If I find some cheap tires that could work, I'll let you know. I'd rather get a cheap set of beaters for the snow though. I'd hate to bang up some bbs's

The Falken Ze912 is the replacement of the ultra-successful Falken Ze512. It improves on the old tire in the following areas:

Better Handling (wet and dry)
Higher mileage warranty (now 40,000 miles)
Better and more uniform wear
Fantastic Value
Quieter ride
Asymmetric tread design (which means you can rotate the tires front-to-back and side-to-side as you wish)
Wear indicators
4 wider circumferential grooves for better hydroplaning resistance
Squarer shoulder (improved “beefier” looks)

It also has the same awesome 30-Day ride guarantee the old Ze512 had!

$900 is pretty steep for any tires on rotas and the Ze912's aren't too expensive. I would consider it for something in like 700-800.

Those tires are not M+S rated, if you decide to take it to tahoe and the chain-checkers are being strict, you will need to turn around or put on chains. Defeats the purpose of AWD
