Newage STI Wheels - Classic fitment
I've a set of newage STI wheels - STI 7 etc, in anthracite.
I bought these for my Type R when I had a Brembo conversion. I've now changed to a different set of wheels so these are not required, although I'm debating if I should use them as winter/track day wheels.
Tyres are okay, about 4-5mm on each of the two Bridgestone RE040 tyres and about 6-7mm on the two Avon ZZ3's. All are 225/45/17 so suitable for early newage STI's or WRX's, but should also fit classics as they were fine on mine.
There is minimal marking to the wheels, the worst being the common problem of the paint bubbling near the wheel centre more so on one wheel.
There is very little curb rash, just light marking to the paint, no real damage to the alloy. One wheel has a little of the original colour gold paint showing where recently someone tried the wheel on their car and the wheel brace touched the recess - as per the photo.
£250 collected from Cornwall - or arrange your own courrier.

To be honest mate i was quite tempted by them, the price is about right, especially considereing the good condition. Mis-matched tyres might work against you a little but at least fronts and rears are matching rather than the usual list of 4 different (crap) tyres and tread depths.
No interest on ebay mate?
The only reason i didn't want them was that i wanted a non-standard alloy.

Thanks Tom,
Hmmmmm, must be the time of year then, post holidays and pre-Christmas, no money to spend then! They've been on eBay twice and several watchers but no bids.
So.............. bumpty, bump.

Well, I'm sure we could have come to some arrangement! I didn't want to put 'I'll ship' as people are always asking how much to X,Y,Z etc. If it was one price then I'd state how much for shipping. Of course the other option is to inculde shipping, but then you get people asking for a discount to collect lol
If you're still interested drop me a line and I'll see what I can do.

I've been struggling to get a good price for shipping. Many thanks.
