SSR SP3 19x9.5 5x114 Wheels w/ Hankook Ventus V12 255/35ZR19 Tires

This is a set of wheels that were on my 2011 STI when I bought it. I like the look of them on the car and got a lot of compliments. But I didn't even realize when I bought it that the fronts and rears have different offsets to give it a staggered look, +30 and +35. So, the only way to rotate tires is to have them dismounted and remounted. I realize that this is not an ideal setup for an AWD car unless you don't mind doing that. They would be more ideal for a RWD Japanese car, but will fit on an '08+ STI.

The two rear wheels are in very good shape, nothing other than very minor rock nicks around the lip. Both of the fronts currently have bent outer barrels, but hold air. One is somewhat slight, from hitting a pothole in a construction zone on 94 in WI last summer. The other one is in tougher shape because I was a complete idiot, didn't get a winter wheel setup bought soon enough, and slid into a curb with it. Obviously they both need to be fixed. Tintmasters quoted me $550/ea. to get them fixed (replace outer barrels), vs. ~$1k ea. to replace.

I really don't know what they're worth, because I'm not sure whether these offsets would be correct or desirable for other cars. The whole setup new with wheels and tires I guess would have been close to $5k, assuming the wheels are $1k ea. and the tires are $207.00/ea. from TireRack. I'm starting at $2500 as-is. If nobody wants to put them on their Subaru, I'd appreciate any help figuring out where else it might be worth listing them (other than C.L.).

$2500. Thanks for looking.

 

Thanks for your advice. I will shop around a bit on re-barrelling, I had thought it would have to be through an SSR dealer to be able to get parts but it sounds like that's not necessarily true. I don't have any desire to run them on my car again, but I would certainly get them fixed if it was worth it for the purpose of selling. Luckily, I'm not the one who spent the money on these in the first place and I don't think I really paid any extra for the car because they were on it. So that will minimize the heartache if it turns out they aren't worth very much.

Re-barrelling to a different offset to match the rears is an interesting idea. In terms of running them that way on an STI I guess I'd have to hang one of the rears on a front corner and see if it looks alright or hangs out too far past the body. I've personally lost most of any appetite I ever had to run 19" wheels in the land of 10-billion potholes. Wait, I'm trying to sell these. What I meant was, these wheels are the greatest, you should buy them!

 

Arent these a weld 3 peice wheel, meaning its actually a 2 peice wheel and lip cannot be replace without replacing the barrels. Lots of $$$$ to get them fix.

 

They're 3 piece weld i looked it up. So you cannot replace the lip without cutting the wheels apart then re welding it or then apply rtv to make it a real 3 piece.

 

Yes, they are welded, TM said they would break the weld and replace the outer barrel. I guess I'm not sure what they would do then, re-weld or RTV. By they I mean wherever TM sends them to have it done. But that's what they would be doing for the $550/ea.

Why do they weld them? It is for strength or just a better seal? Makes them more of a pain to fix.

 

It's for strength and safety. If the wheels aren't hold on correctly it can come right off when driving.

 

Also, it does look like the rear fenders have been rolled and I think the previous owner mentioned that there are spacers in the rear to lift it a tad and make room for these wheels. So, just to clarify that these don't exactly just bolt right on to a stock car.

That being said, I am open to any reasonable offer to get rid of these.

 

Sold.
