they sell individual wheels on ebay all day.
nowhere near that price though, and not with tires.

rockstar #2 linked one earlier for $120 shipped.

a set of these in good shape with tires generally run $6-700 not including shipping.

the tires are 80%
its no different from replacing a flat/blowout.

I even intend on buying the same tire to have matching tread/compound..

when the first 3 wear down to nothing, I will replace all 4 and keep the one with a little life left as a spare. simple.

Or you can slap the mismatched set on your current for sale v1's and bump the price up to $300 with used tires...


I agree, whatever 2 look best, i'd keep then replace the front or rear with a matching set...that'll work. Congrats, man.

still my favorite shot my the AP2V2's on my car...aside from never selling my oem wheels, this picture is what keeps me hanging onto them to be able to swap back and forth.

I think it is much easier/faster/cheaper if you just get your own red interior than waiting for OEM pieces.

I have the ebay rep spoiler and let me tell you, it's a wonder they only charge $90 shipped. Paint match/quality were perfection.

Yeah, it's friggin nuts, man...

Doing research on the timing chain tensioner...I think I'm going to do the Billman250 modified one and call it a day. I get that weird chainsaw sound when I first start the car first thing in the morning. It's annoying.

Are you sure that's the culprit? I get that sometimes when either the clutch isn't fully engaged or I don't depress the start button all the way. My tensioner was replaced a few months ago.

I am not positive, but I know the previous owner told me that he did not change the tensioner and I would rather not even take any chances. The Billman GenX one has lifetime warranty and is beefier and linear and increases tension on the chain as you go up in RPM/pressure internally. Was worth it to me...

I tried paying close attention to pressing the clutch all the way in and pressing the button fully too...but I still get it sometimes and it always makes me cringe!

its possible.. its not enough for me to tear off the dash bezel to find out (yet), its not every time or even every other time..

just periodically it'll act like the first push isn't quite strong enough, then immediately cranks up afterwards.
