No greivous damage. There's one minor curb (it's only about 2mm wide, barely noticeable), and the finish on the sides of some of the spokes is faded.
They're 18x8, 17.6 pounds apiece, have brand new tires, and are ET51 so they'll fit when you slam it
If you're coming to the meet, I can bring one so you can set it up against the car and see how it looks, and see what I'm talking about with the finish.
I only want a grand for them.

Stay away from the Enkei's, they're a +35 and will rub like crazy. The SSR's are good wheels, but a 7.5 is useless if you want to run anything wider than a 225, especially a 245.
Also, listen to Paul, the 245/40 is the right size. The 35 series will be way too short, a 235/40 is already short and the 245/40 brings it up in OD just enough to make it work again.
If you honestly want to check out my wheels, I can arrange something during the week, so just let me know.

Plus they look sexy. Too bad I don't have the correct bolt pattern for those wheels anymore.
