Brand new in box, custom ordered in the wrong size from Diamond Racing Wheels. Black steel mini-stock model , shipping weight's 15lbs. ea. in the box. (http://www.diamondracingwheels.com/ministock.html).
3.5 in. backspace / neg. 31mm offset.
Paid $200CDN for the set. Mount some softened formulacar slicks to your $2009'er and go drag racing or something.
All reasonable and unreasonable offers considered.
I need these badly. I'm very poor right now, but let me work some figures and I'll come up with an offer. You wouldn't happen to need any Triumph TR7, VW, or Porsche parts would you?
Anyone know offhand if those will work on a Miata? Sounds kinda wide & I'm not sure about the offset/backspacing.

Where are you located? I'm interested.
someone confirm for me that 3.5" of backspace is too little for a miata please.... just so I don't buy them!
what type of car did you plan to put them on your prelude?
In reply to 16vCorey: Uh, I just picked up a 924S, as it happens...
In reply to racerboy000: Yeah, the thing was delivered to me on its rain tires, mounted on 13x7.5's. Judging by the fender widths, I figured I'd try these Formula Renault/Radical slicks I had sitting around. Then about two days after I ordered them, I found the sixteens...
In reply to mw: Currently located in Toronto, but going to Putnam Park this weekend and Autobahn next week. I'll bring them with me.
they will only fit 16vCorey's car. everyone else, go find some other rims.
oooo, that means it will fit the rabbit right?

Besides the fact that they are cheap and local, I can't think why I need them. They're all yours Corey.
Hmm...I've got some friends that occasionally go to Putnam Park. I'll check with them to see if they might be heading that way this weekend.
Oh, and do you need anything in particular for the 924S?
Jeez, I've only started the 924 and driven it around the block twice, since it's waiting for me to (nominally) finish the Prelude before I start on it. It's totally stock right now, with a busted engine mount, a sickly diesel-sounding valvetrain, a mouse's-nest (yes, quite literally) under the ripped shift boot, and a host of wiring problems. I'm still exploring engine swap options and will likely strip, rebuild and cage the thing regardless. Gonna need pretty much anything to upgrade the suspension. Bushings, primarily. Anything else you might consider reasonable to go on an endurance 924/944, lemme know: I'm starting from zero.
Also, a dubber friend of mine's doing a 2.0T ABA swap with AEG intake, and needs upper strut mounts and the chip.
Got them Sunday morning for an old 944 transmission with a bad ring and pinion, and let me tell you, these are bad ass. Thanks a ton!
