Thumbs up NEW PRICE! $650 obo

NEW PRICE! $650 obo

Hi everyone,

I have for sale a set of 2.5RS six-spoke wheels w/ tires (which i'm willing to separate). Those who know about these wheels know that these are hard to come by and are in high demand because of the added width and usability over the standard 02-05 WRX wheels. There is some curbage on these wheels but only along the outer lip, which is very thin so its very hard to see if your face isnt right up against the wheel. With these, you can use 4-POT brakes and 225 width tires without the added weight of a larger diameter rim. This was my thinking when i priced them: the new tires cost me almost $600 (not including shipping and mounting = ~$150), while the rims alone usually go for ~$400, so $700 is a very reasonable starting point. Please let me know if you would like to view them.


$650 OBO for wheels and tires already mounted

or

$375 obo for wheels only

$275 obo for tires only

you can see the slight curbage on this wheel, which is the worst one. dirty parts are all just brake dust. pics:

I think the fact that you have the new tires on is hurting you, hehe. It's just a high price but I understand you're just trying to make your money back. Bump for you and hopefully someone wants these wheels and brand new tires

Yup. You have to find a buyer who wants BOTH the 6 spoke AND new re050s.

Maybe you should offer just rim price and just tires price too and be willing to separate

Yeah, I'm sure you'll find someone. I had those wheels before and loved them. Now I have some Impreza 5 spokes! Bump for some cool wheels.
