99.9% getting 19's..who wants my 18's?? pimp??

I'm 99.9% sure i'm getting 19's. 19x8 Dazz Matiz with 235/35 prelli p7000's. So, anyone want to make me an offer on my SSR Decoltes? They are 3 piece, and one lip is bent on one of the rims. You can either have it fixed for 75 bucks or just order a new lip from SSR and replace that one piece. I'll take this into consideration with the price, but 100 bucks is negligible with the original cost of these rims AND the fact that they are so rare.

They are 18x8.5 with Nitto 555 235/40/18. 55 offset. These can be seen at www.rodmillen.com I will take some recent pics as soon as I have the 19's in my hands and on the car since I'm not 100% yet.

But as you can see these rims are about 550 a piece. Much like all SSR's they are EXTREMELY hard to get because they are shipped from Japan. And decoltes are even harder. No one will ever have these and I've been stopped numerous times in parking lots and asked about the rims.

So if anyone wants to make an offer on some serious rims to make you stand out and give people the impression that you know quality when you see it..then make me an offer. No lowballers please. langjae@aol.com

Damn, I just had to order 2 new Decoltes for my Legend. I'll speak with the wife and see what she says about your wheels. She definately likes them though.

Yeah well, no guts, no glory. :P Actually I'll be up at school and the roads are pretty decent up there. The decoltes are strong rims but I hit a "man-sized" pothole in Brooklyn. I'll only have them on until Thaknsgiving or so and then slap on my TL rims fo the winter. Well. any offers just lemme know. It'll be a while so I'm not in a rush.

18x8.5 huh with a 55 offset and 235's??? Wonder if they would fit my TL-S without rubbing or any fender rolling which I am not willing to do. How much do you want for them?? I live in Nassau County LI.

Aren't TL-S and CL-S specs identical? I'm not sure though. 55 is, as you know, stock offset which makes such a wide wheel compatible. Since we can meet up for an exchange, it'll be nice not to have to worry about shipping.

I was actually going to have my rim fixed in LI. Forget where the place is though and I don't think I'll have time before school. I'm asking 2500 negotiable of course, but not much lower. I'll snap some pics wednesday since that's my day off. But the rims themselves can be seen at http://public.fotki.com/langjae/

With those heavier wheels you can expect to see a sec or two added on to your 0=60 times.

For the track I borrow my friends Volks that he has on his prelude. Up further from my school near Geneseo (I go to Binghamton) they have $10 all the runs you want, so once school starts the 19's will be off for the track and the snow anyway. 19's are for the shows.

Guys, I feel that I should say this... SSRs are really good wheels... it would take a LOT to bend them (langjae, I feel for you, man). I took out a curb the other day and there was no damage at ALL. (I didn't realize it was as close as it was, ok guys? Don't make fun)... anyway, take it from someone who knows... those are good wheels.

langjae, when you cleared out your headlights did you have to take off the bumper?

They were on my friend's 2000 TL and he has Eibach Pro-kits like me. He wanted to put them on just to see if they look good and not to drive around. But the gap and clearance is just as good as the CL. any other offset would rub, but since they are 55 its perfect fit.

Yes I did have to take the bumper off.
