Included in this sale:
Wheels, tires, center caps, valve stems, hub rings, and Blue Ray's Engineering Extended Lug Nuts, mounted/balanced. Whole set up is ready to be installed.

The deal:
I bought these brand new, decided to do a black on silver color scheme on my car and had them powdered coated. The wheels were professionally sand blasted and powder coated by Long Island Rim. I have waxed the wheels yearly. None have any structural issues (dents/hops/bends) that I am aware of. Most of my driving has been highway driving, not in the city. I have a set of winter rims/snow tires, so these have never seen winter.

All of the tires are structurally sound, no holes/plugs/etc. EXCEPT the front left tire. It had a ridiculously slow leak (losing 1 pound of pressure every two days) so I had that fixed.

Are the wheels perfect?
No. Come on, these re not brand new. Each wheel has at least one slight imperfection. I tried to get pictures of all the small imperfections as best I could.

From 10 feet away, the rims look tits-bango. Get closer and you will see the imperfections. This can be remedied with black touch up paint, black nail polish, or even black permanent marker. Check out the attached pictures.

Furthermore, the Rays lug nuts are far from perfect. I never let a garage or shop remove the wheels from my car. I always did it myself and brought them the wheels. However, when I had my fenders rolled, I had to allow the guy to remove the wheels...and he beat up the lugs pretty good. They look fine from 10 feet away, but look at one in your hand and you'll understand.

Lastly, some jerk stole 2 of the rays valve stem caps. Might not be a big deal for most, but I just want to fully disclose everything.

So why the different tires front and rear?
Long story short, I was running Eagle GT's all around when one of my rear tires got ruined on route 17 near Liberty NY on April 13th of this year. I was not in a situation where I was able to wait for a shop to order tires, so I had to buy what I could find. However, instead of just replacing the 1 bad rear tire, I replaced both. Honestly, I am surprised at how nice these Nankangs are.

Up until this problem, I only allowed Whiteys in Brooklyn to touch these wheels for mounting and balancing tires. I know the owners and once they saw these were Ray's they were always super careful.

Will you ship?
Sure, but you're paying.

Trades: No longer trading!
I'll consider trades for 17" rims and tires + cash on your end. I would even consider stock wheels/tires for the right deal. I do not want anything stretched, "VIP" or any similar nonsense. I would prefer 255-40/17's but I know that might be tough to come by. Any 17's need to clear brembos.

I want to buy these, how do I pay you?
Cash in person, paypal +fees, gold bars. I will not meet up in a sketchy location, sorry.

I'll happily help you install these if you drove out to me even if you didn't want to trade wheels.

Forgot to mention, I will separate the lug nuts from the wheels for someone that doesn't need/want them. I don't want to separate the wheels and tires though.

Bump for a good guy, don't remember your name but met with you when you bought my rotors couple yrs ago.

Timeless

Thanks for the bump. Those rotors have not even made it onto my car actually...I'm doing my brakes this Wednesday so I'll finally get to put them to use!

I'm bringing the price down to $1500 for everything listed.

damn wish i had cash for these

Timeless

Me to.

TTT.

Timeless

Ran these all summer, put a few thousand more miles on them. Rears are getting cupped because of my camber and toe settings. Fronts are wearing super nice.

I'm no longer interested in trades for stock wheels.

Will entertain offers.

I forgot about these...

They're currently sitting in my garage waiting for someone new to enjoy them

Timeless

Current total mileage on fronts: 18,507. Tread depth on each is about .2" (+/- .010"). Supposedly new these come with 10/32" tread depth so they are @ 65%. Wearing nice and even.

Current total mileage on rears: 8507. New these supposedly have .3" tread depth. Drivers side is at .225" and the passenger side is at .15" putting them at 75% and 50% respectively. I'm not sure why the wear is so different. My guess is that the toe on the passenger side is off.

As mentioned, the rears have some cupping on the inner edges. The drivers side has more cupping than the passenger side but also has more tread then the passenger side (very weird). I have pics, but its still hard to see the cupping. I'll send them to interested parties.

The wheels are in damn near the exact same shape as pictured above. No new nicks/scrapes/etc...just some more dust from sitting in storage for the past 8 months.

Timeless

Sold. Thanks everyone.
