Exclamation FS: One of a kind 18" wheels. (No, really they are) UPDATED 10/9/07!

Update at bottom!





Well, I'm selling the 18" Limited 445's off my Cobalt.

My company made this wheel, we only had about 60-80 pieces produced, then stopped making them.

They are 18", gunmetal, with a polished face. Now you may ask "well, why are they one of a kind?". Good question. I had them inserted to the 5-110 bolt pattern, see my sticky in Wheels and Tires about inserting, its 100% safe. We inserted not one other set of these wheels, and they are no longer produced.

Next question you may have "Well, what if I curb one?" Another good question. I'm actually not selling 4 wheels I'm selling _8_ wheels. A friend of mine got the same ones from me for her RSX, and proceeded to eventually curb one. So, I got them from her and had one inserted and mounted for a full size spare.

The only problem with the wheels is the clear coat cracked around the inserted lug holes, I didn't know that would happen or I would have sealed it with clear nail polish on that edge. I'll post some picts of this asap. I will try polishing this to see if it goes away, I was more concerned with putting on new wheels yesterday. Other thing is the 2 front tires are about 2/32nds above the replacement indicators.


So, I'm selling:

(4) Pirelli CEAT 225/40/18 (produced by Pirelli of Europe)
(1) Nexxen 225/40/18 (mounted on full size spare, 0 miles on it)
(5) Limited 445's inserted to 5-110 (other pattern is 5-100)
(3) Limited 445's 5-114.3/100


I would really prefer a pickup, but I can ship them from work on a pallet for around $100 anywhere in the USA.


$1000



11/8/07 - 11:02PM


OK UPDATED, done messing around.


$200 off!

$800 + shipping, or come pick them up lets go. 8 wheels ALL DRILLED 5-110/100 NOW AND 5 TIRES. I had the other 3 wheels drilled to fit 5-110 as well now. (Good deal at a machine shop would be about $20-$25/wheel)


Had plenty of people looking, thinking, pondering, I'm cleaning up the garage for winter and these gotta go. (I sound like a used car salesman).

More picts. Remember, 4 have cracking clear coat, I'd powder them if I were keeping them. Lets go people!

This can be fixed. Looks worse than it is, I took too good of a picture.
