Prefer to sell locally. DC metro area. Will ship only if buyer covers full shipping costs (may include boxes/packing and actual UPS/Fedex shipping - exact cost only!)

This is all nearly new, and the entire package is ready to install for Mazda Proteges or Honda Civics (or other cars) with 4x100 wheels. It will be within spec for anyone upgrading from 175/70-13, or from 195/60/14, or anything within a few variations of those sizes - see miata.net/garage for the tire calculator.

I spent almost $900 total late last year and picked up these wheels, tires and more. They come mounted and perfectly balanced, ready to install!

The package would include ...[list=1][*]Konig Helium 4x100 Wheels - Silver 15", 40mm offset. Strong and light - ONLY 10.8lbs each[*]Falken ZIEX/ZE-512 tires, 195/50-15, used < 10K out of 30K warranty! 360/A/A (I'll confirm this)[*]Gorilla Silver/Chrome Locking LugNuts with key, and 4 spare (total 20)[*]Hub Centric ring suitable for 95-98 Protege (and some other vehicles also, I believe. Honda Civic etc will need to buy new set.) Specs - Wheel Bore 73mm, Vehicle Hub 54.06mm[*]Whole package is fully mounted, balanced, religiously maintained air pressure, regularly rotated. Car tracks perfectly and handles like a dream with only a strut tower brace upgrade![/list=1]

See this site (you need to be an imagestation meber) for photos of all the hardware when new, as well as a recent (15 day-old) photo for a friend who was looking for recommendations for tires, and I showed him how amazing the tread-life on these is, even after over 9K miles. (last two photos) FYI - he did buy Falken tires

selling your 2nd gen Ashu?

Just working the numbers and coming up with a good html-type ad for it before I advertise it. Interested ;0 ? Go well with your current Mazda stable - and the new RX-8 if you're still thinking about it!

I figured I'd sell all the goodies first, though.

ZoomZoomH

you didn't answer my question

why are you selling it? getting a new car?

ashutoshsm

Yes, I had stock 13" on my DX! I have a white DX automatic.

Also, under 900 total is what I paid, mounting, installation, balancing, accessories (lug nuts, hub-centric rims) etc etc. I'm pretty open to offers if you (or anyone else) is interested. Considering I've already gotten the best 1/3rd out of the (Warrantied) life of the Falken tires, their value dips from the original $220 cost price for 4. Also, one of the tires has barely-noticeable innner ring wear in excess of the other 3 - possibly because I take left corners more aggressively I'd be willing to accept half that (around $100 total) for the tires, although the wheels I expect would nett (some, or a lot) more than half their initial value. Look at it that way - its generously (!) discounted wheels, half priced tires, and I'll throw the rest of the stuff in anyway ... still taking offers

ashutoshsm

Correct!

They sell for around $425 new at various places like ebay (less than I paid, but oh, well!). Shipping on the wheels alone is listed as (an additional) $60 from these sellers.

Make me an offer - PM please! Remember I'm including the wheels with tires installed (valve stems, balancing weights - minimal were needed!, lug nut set - Gorilla Chrome/Silver color with lug locks, Konig Center cap, Hub Centric Ring suitable for at least the 95-96 Protege, and perhaps other cars as well). Then I'll find out what shipping would cost, and insurance, if you want that, probably UPS. FYI, the wheels weigh ONLY 10.8lbs each, the tires around 17lbs each, and add some leeway for packaging, lug nuts, hub-centric rings etc. My first guess would be in the $75-100 range, unless the packages become oversized.

paypal, c2it, demand draft, money order preferred - check OK (after clearing). I'm going to busy packing stuff as I'm moving soon - so save me he trouble of moving these (and shipping instead!)

These wheels have been religiously cared for. I think only two or three needed any balancing weights, and I had the guy install them on the inside (so cosmetically, nothing is visible on the outside). And when rotated, they still tracked to perfectly, despite my older car and suspension/steering, that I didn't bother re-balancing them!

Also, they're flawless - knock on wood - thanks to the excellent rim protectors on the Falken Ziex tires - no curb rash or scratches from the unforgiving DC Metro area curbs.

And I've waxed them at least twice total (including pre-install), and use mild wheel cleaner on them at every wash (and I always wash them when cold). Brake dust (I have basic aftermarket dust spewing front disc pads) washes off quite easily with minimal rubbing, after soaking.

FYI And bump!
