FS or FT: UK OEM 17" Rims with RE01Rs
I'm selling my rare 17x7 UK OEM rims with 225/45R17 Potenza RE01R's
I think pictures say it all... sorry none on the WRX
this one was trued back to spec
hAha! proof they aren't just USDM!
still got good meat left
History:
I picked these up about a year ago on craigslist with a little bit of curb rash and one slightly bent rim. I sanded down the curb rashes (very minor) without taking too much from the lip, had the bent rim straightened out professionally and used Rustoleum Metallics Bronze to make them sparkle like new. I just cleaned and gave them a fresh coat of paint, but decided I want to go a different direction
Clearance:
These do clear the 4pot 07 WRX brakes (I know because they were on my WRX
). I am not sure about the Brembros...
Tires:
These are the best imo and I paid dearly for them (over 900 with mounting and balancing
). If you have never owned a set, I swear it feels like a whole different car with these rubbers gripping the road. Too bad they are discontinued! All tires are in good shape with about 7/32 tread, with no camber wear, although one has a patch from a nail.
Serious inquires pm me. Please don't lowball me, but I am open to offers. I really don't want to separate the rims and tires (causes too many issues). I am open to trades, 17x9's ideally or other aggressive fitments with decent tires. Let me know what you have or make me an offer. Thanks for looking!

I may be interested in buying just the wheels, depending on how much you would sell them for. How much did you pay for the tires? This could work to three people's advantage, since apexwagon is looking to buy the tires.
