Looking for a set of (4), 17 or 18" dia. 8"- 9.5" wide. Offset around 45 (+/- quite a bit).

I think I'd like a 5 spoke in a gunmetal, but I'm open to suggestions. Also take black, alum, brushed. Not chrome or bright colored.

Minor rash OK, nothing bent. Can't spend a fortune.

Whatcha got??

There is somebody selling mustang wheels, which fit your criteria, just below.

Might I suggest Mazda rx8 takeoffs? They're 18x8 5 spoke, some came in gunmetal, and they're +50 IIRC.

White kind of qualifies as a "bright color".

+25 is pretty far from +45.

There 18x9'' wide +45 is for training wheel sizes

Look for 2005 and newer Mustang GT wheels. They came in 17x8 and in the 40mm neighborhood.

I have some DP Engineering wheels from a NSX but they need restored. I think they are double staggered 16/7 17/9 or something. Three piece wheels though with a higher offset.

does gold with a discrete chrome lip count as a bright color? I'm wanting to sell my wheels and go back to stock for a while, 17x7.5 +42 (i think 42, between 40 and 45 though for sure)

Ive got 5 15x10 Aero racing steel wheels with a 5 inch backspace. 4 of the 5 have never been mounted on a car. Black with a yellow stripe and an Aero sticker. Pretty snazzy!

They sound great, but the car is currently wearing 16's and they look too small. Thx!

I've got a set of Konig wheels & tires that were on my RX-7 convertible until I put the stock BBS wheels back on up for sale (http://lexington.craigslist.org/pts/2659027326.html), and would be willing to come down a bit for another GRMer... but I don't know the offset, and they're probably both lighter in color and further away than you might want...

Did you find anything? I have a spare set of 17x9 et41 OZ Mitos with decent tires that I would take $600 for?

sorry took so long

no curb rash, one of the wheels took kind of alot of weight to balance (pretty sure it's the tire's fault) but i could not find any bends in it when I rolled it on the balancer.
the tires are bad, 2 are on the wear bars and one has a nail in it.
missing 1 centercap, 2 are on the wheels and one is not because it is scratched.
they actually may be 7" instead of 7.5" width. (will look in a bit)

I might have a set of 2006 miata wheels. 17x7, though. +50 iirc.

I'm interested. PM me.
