18" Black Wheels + Tires + Hardware

[BlackMetal]

Alright, I've hesitated long enough to get rid of these things, sick of seeing them in my basement.

18" RPM505 Wheels
18x8 Fronts 18x9 Rears
Black Center + Polished Lip
Great wheels, staggered look, deep lip, split-spoke pattern. Got tons of compliments about how good they looked and how people were suprised to see them on this type of car.

Sumitomo Tires
Sumitomo Tire Line: HTR Z II
245/40/18
275/35/18
Treadwear Rating 220
Traction AA
Temperature A
Tons of tread left, had these wheels on my car for about 8 months and barely drive it.
I wasn't excited when I heard what brand of tires came with the wheels either, but honestly I don't have a single bad word to say after driving on them. I had my car on wet highways going 70 and never slipped. Great sporty tread pattern.

Wheel Adapters Front & Rear
Black Wheel Locks + Key
With these wheel adapters you will have everything you need to bolt-up and go. I did the hard part for you, figuring out how to get everything to fit.

There *is* curb rash on one of the rear wheels that I truthfully didn't know about until the day I removed the wheels from the car. It's about an inch long on the very edge of the lip where it folds under and meets the tire bead. I anticipate taking a loss because of the scrape but am not going to give these things away just because of one blemish. This entire package cost me about $1350, so if I don't get decent offers due to the scrape, I'll possibly replace the wheel in question and then sell them as a flawless package.

So right now I'm just seeing what offers I get AS-IS. I'd hope at least $800. I'll go take a picture of the scraped wheel sometime tonight so you can have a better idea.

Here's a pic of the damaged one. Didn't take pix of this wheel earlier because it was out in the garage, the other ones were all down in the basement so I was able to access them easily.

This wheel has the tire removed because I wanted to make sure nothing else was wrong with the wheel so I took it to the dealership where I work and checked it out with the other technicians. Just never had a reason to put the tire back on since then.

Please note this wheel is dirty, dusty, and has fingerprints and smudges all over it. As I said, this one's been out in the garage for a while. It'll clean up just like the other rims.

The scrape is at the top of the wheel in both pix. Remeber though once you have the tire on the rim it'll be even harder to notice it. I'd call it a 5-footer.

Doing my best to find pix of the wheels actually on my car so people can get an idea.... will post more as I find them.

In some of these pix the center caps don't match because they had different adhesive overlays on them. When you get them you'll get the plain black center caps with no logos on them, so don't worry.

wheels

will these fit a stock suspension (86 TType) or do you need to lower the car? will they rub?
do you have all the lugs as well?

I live in Palatine, IL

are you willing to mount them on my car if I bring it to make sure they fit with no issues?

Thanks in advance

VERY interested! Is your car lowered(if so how much), and did they rub at all? Please let me know ASAP.
Thanks,
Derek

There's absolutely nothing else you have to do to the car to get these wheels to work. As long as you install the wheel adapters/spacers that I am including, you will have no problems.

My car has zero suspension work, not lowered or anything. Maybe the angle of some of the pictures makes the car look low but it's all stock.

The front wheels would rub a little bit only a FULL lock, such as making a turn out of a driveway or into a parking space. You can probably remedy that with a smaller tire in front once these tires are worn out. My new wheels are still 8" wide in front but with only a 215 tire on them and they don't rub. Maybe the 245s on these wheels are just a hair too wide and that's why it makes contact.

You'll get a total of 40 lug nuts. 20 are plain silver nuts used to bolt to wheel adapters to the hub. Then the 20 black tuner lugs that lock the wheel to the adapter. Notice this is much safer than the typical wheel spacer that just sits behind the wheel and uses the same lug nuts. A wheel adapter bolts to the car and then has its own set of studs for the wheel to bolt up.

I forgot to mention before that these wheels+tires are nearly exactly the same total diamter as stock wheels, so your speedometer will be accurate, your trans will shift normally, etc. Some people up-size their rims and forget to down-size the tires, and end up with a different diameter overall. These wheels stand just like a stock 15" rim with the stock tire size, so no problems there.

Feel free to ask more questions but just let me emphasize that yes these wheels will fit your car with everything I'm including. I wouldn't sell them to you if I didn't know they'd fit your car.
