Ooooh,my mistake.They are all 17x9's.They are now on the car and I'll have shipping numbers tomorrow sometime.I am flat rate shipping just the wheels for $100.00,or,if anyone needs the tires left on the fronts,I have a wheel and tire in the car to get an estimate with.If the rims are shipped with the tires,there will be a 17x9 wheel,and a 16x8 wheel/tire in each box.

Pics will be coming this evening.Shipping charges are as follows after my trip to UPS today......

4 wheels...$275.00 shipped

4 wheels/2 tires with virtually no wear (3 weeks old,barely 300 miles on them)......$400.00 shipped

$400.00 is two 17x9 wheels,2 16x8's with the new tires,$50.00 for shipping the wheels,and $55.00 each for the wheel/tires.

The tires cost about $140 each,and that was with mounting and balancing,which they still are.They will just need to be aired up and installed.I let the air out before weighing them.No holes,patches or plugs,s I said,they are 3 weeks old.Perfect shape tires.

Now there's the "rest" of the story.

Actually,more than you think.For example,grab an oxygen bottle (I work in nursing car),and you can literally feel the difference between an empty and full bottle.Crazy but true.LOL.

This is one of the 16x8's.This one has the small amount of "rash".Not too bad at all.The other one has zero damage,but it does have a basically new tire on it.


One the 17x9 wheels.The other is just as good,no rash.I haven't cleaned them yet.

Here's one of them (they are all on the car).Don't pay any attention to the body,it's being worked slowly.The tape is covering the holes for the trim.

Vinnie, Those rims look real nice and should compliment your new paint job when it's finished friend. :)

I'm hoping so.The color will certainly "POP".

For some reason that "POP" seems like a hint... New rims look great! If I still wanted to go this route I would def get them from you. I see if there is anyone around here that wants them

They are painted silver correct? I am quite interested. I want polished aluminum, but these would be great until I got 5 lug.
