18" 5Zigen MK6 Hyperblack w/ Toyo's

This is a sad day... have to sell my almost-new (perfect condition) 5Zigen (Japanese) MK6 Hyperblack 18" x 7.5" wheels off of my CL 2.2. Less than 6,000 miles on wheels & tires, which are Toyo Proxes 225/40ZR18.

These are absolutely incredible wheels. My car is lowered with Eibach Pro kit, no touching or rubbing whatsoever. These wheels are just like new.

$1,100 you pay for actual shipping. I'm in Milwaukee, Wisconsin (about an hour out of Chicago).

Have to pay for tuition.

Contact me at: thomas.alberti@marquette.edu



Thanks,

Thomas

Yah, not to mention the $500 hit I'm taking on them.

DOH!

This is what they call "not thinking ahead."

I could weep.

Are you the guy who wrote to me about the wheels from "near Milwaukee"?

Pembine is fairly far, but we could figure something out.

P.S. That's an FMIS Front Mount Intake System, it was made for the Accord but it fits just fine. It was a total nightmare to install. Had to remove the front bumper (which is easy once you know how to do it... took about 2 hours to figure out how to do it the first time.)

It sounds really nice.

Thanks for the e-mails and PM's. A lot of people have asked about the condition of the wheels and tires. They are *perfect*. Not a single scratch or scuff or mark on any of the wheels, they look like they did when they came out of the box a couple of months ago. And the tires are like new, no punctures, scuffs or anything. Perfect.

If you are in the Milwaukee or Chicago area, we can arrange for you to see them. I am able to ship anywhere in the U.S. too.

I wish it was an intercooler... but it is just a cold air intake.

Extras

Yes, they come with the locknuts (McGaurd external splines) and also I purchased the "hub centric" inserts, so they mate perfectly with the Acura hubs.

They are waxed and ready to mount!

With the universal pattern they should fit the older Accords.
Also Civics, Preludes, Integras.....as long as they have a 4 lug, some tegs & ludes have the 5 lug.

Hit all the Honda/Acura forums

Does anyone have a Mitsubishi Lancer? I'm trying to figure out if these wheels will fit a friend's Lancer. It looks like the offset and bolt pattern are fine, but Tirerack.com recommends a 215/35-18 tire (and these are 225/40-18).

I realize that the speedometer will be slightly off, but will they work w/o rubbing on the car? Is it dangerous (to the wheels/tires) to test fit them and drive the car?

Thanks folx,

T.

Thomas, Is that your stock height or you have springs? I want to put some rims but really not in the mood to change the spring as well. Let me know.
Thx

I have the Eibach Pro springs, which I think is about a 1" or 1.2" drop. They look good w/o the drop, too, you don't see a lot of wheel well with the stock springs and these wheels.
