    Looking for some 5x100 17 x 7, 7.5, 8 rims in preferably a bronze/gold color. Need to fit my Dunlop Z1's - 215/45ZR17. Max I'm looking to spend is $800. Do NOT want or need tires obviously.

    I'm toying with getting some 18s for the Hatch. I currently have a set of 17" Konig Feathers, gold in color. I'll let you know if I find a set of 18s I like.

    bronze or gold would look hot with the red, remember they sell spray paint at menards

    i see what you are doing here...

    are the star specs mounted on a wheel right now? if so paint would be the budget minded decision and will last a while

    if they are off the wheels i to would be looking for a different set.

    good luck , for the right price the BBS's are always for sale...

    They're currently unmounted. Yeah, when I borrowed Carl's BBS's for a rally-cross last year, I fell in love with the look (as you can see in my avatar). Plus I want two different sets, summer and winter, so I don't need to keep changing them, especially for rally-x. PM'ing you now.

    It's from someone in Ohio. I'm somewhat skeptical on buying them, even if I ask and he says it isn't cracked. Just wanted to get an opinion on it.

    I don't think I'd buy them without seeing them in person. or without much better pictures of the damage. mine however, look great (you were the last person to use them. they haven't been on a car since then lol)

    Yes, but there's a certain other member that has called dibs (even if it's been a long time)... I have to talk them out of it first.

    to me it looked like wheel weight tape, alignment guy style, aluminum tape over the tape weights.

    the curb rash would be hard to fix without professionals IMO, but it all comes down to cost.

    edit: dirty rims are dirty

    The wheel pictured in that link isn't bad at all. I'd run that on my car without worry.

    I could possibly be talked into letting my Konig DTD Glide's go.... 17x7 +35

    Fit my 225/45/17 Direzza Z1 SSs perfectly.

    Need all 4 in working order. Can't get around too well with just three, even with AWD. :biggrin:

    What happened to our other posts? Fun-time over. :( Those Konig DTD Glides don't look bad, but I prefer something with more spokes.

    ^Lost out to a local guy.

    Anyone got some rims for sale? Update OP. Color may not be a factor if I like 'em enough.
