Anybody want to trade wheels?
 
I have a set of 18"x7.5" Giovanna Kobe wheels in silver finish with polished lips in near perfect condition. The only issue with them is the plastic lug covers are slightly worn around the hole where the screw goes that holds the covers on, and I do not have the key to the special screw that holds the lug covers on. I would assume that this could be purchased from Giovanna or the screws could be replaced with a standard machine screw with the correct thread pitch and diameter. Anyhow, I believe they are +45 offset and 5 on 4.5 lug pattern. They have 215/35/18 Toyo Proxes tires on them that have only been driven about 1200 miles. 3 of the tires are in great shape, but one has a screw in it near the sidewall and I am told that it can not be repaired, so it will have to be replaced. A new tire should cost about $200.00. I bought these wheels and tires and put them on my P5 for about a month before I ran over the screw, so I put the stocks back on until I bought a new tire and have never done so, so they have been sitting in my garage in the discount tire bags that they came in for about three months. When I had them on my P5 at stock height they did have a slight rub with two people in the back going over large bumps, but my fenders are not rolled or anything, and I have looked into having them shaved down to increase the offset, and Giovanna tells me that they can be safely shaved 4mm making them a +49 which should not rub at all. Now, this is all in relation to a P5, however I believe that the sedans can run slightly less offset without rubbing. I am looking to trade them for a set of MP3 Racing Hart wheels with tires in perfect or near perfect condition. If anyone has an MP3 and is looking to get into 18" wheels, this is a steal. I live in Las Vegas, zip code 89110 if that helps anyone. The wheels can be viewed at

and here is another link that shows wheelmax closeout pricing on these wheels before shipping: http://www.wheelmax.com/Wheels/Giovanna/giovanna.htm
Any takers?

Duh, looks like wheelmax is doing free shipping:confused:
Anyhow, I will also include the tuner lug nuts that are required to mount these wheels provided that whoever wants to trade gives me their lug nuts. My tuner lugs have been modified to fit under the lug cover.

C'mon, NOBODY wants 18's on their MP3?

How much you willing to sell them out right for?

What's up. It was nice seeing you at SEMA Jason.

Peace out and I'll keep my eyes and ears open for something you'd be interested in.

Later, Rishie

Hey Rishie, just sent you a PM

Hey Rider, I hadn't really thought of selling the wheels outright, I honestly thought that there would be more people willing to trade. How's the stereo and box coming out by the way?
