Comments:


Like the title says, I have a set of 18x8.5 Aristos along with five
225/40R/18 tires.


THE WHEELS:

To start, 3 wheels are about 2 months old and the other is as young as the car itself. The 4th wheel, or "runt" wheel as I would call it, was in bad shape until yesterday. The "runt" wheel looked as it sounds, perma-brake dust, curbage, and many many minor scratches. So, yesterday I got a wild hair to give a try at refurbishing the wheel, and it turned out nearly flawless. Nearly!?, you ask, well there are a few very, very, very minor scratches on it from accidentally hitting the wheel with the wrench while putting it back on. Seriously, I mean minor. The other 3, well they're aww-inspiring perfection, they all have about 2,000 miles on them since I've only had them for about 2 months.

THE TIRES:

*Tires are the weakest part of this deal. I'm not even gonna try and lure you in with new tires but have bad wheels, so I'm 100% honest.

5 tires in total, 3 wheels wrapped in Nittos and the other wrapped in a Direzza, and I have an extra Direzza to thrown in. So, the 3 wheels are wrapped in 225/40R/18 Nitto Neo-Gens, and the other is wrapped in a 225/40R/18 Dunlop Direzza DZ101. The Nittos are by no means equally worn: 1 is on its last leg and the 2 others still got some meat on their bones, about 50% tread (the 4th has fallen to a mysterious slash...pricks). The Direzzas have about 65% of tread left, but do have minor flat-spots that do NOT affect the ride at all. And, I have never had any problem at all with these tires holding or losing air at all.

*Not guaranteed, but I suppose if there is no burning of the tires, they will all make it to a minimum of mid-summer.

THE DEAL:

I'm mostly looking for trades in the Capital area (D.C., MD, VA, NC, etc.). I would prefer mesh style wheels. 17's and 18's only, nothing else. If necessary, cash add-ons will be discussed when the time comes.

On the other hand, if you want to buy them the asking price is $950 (each of the 3 new wheels were $500 a piece), but definitely negotiable. Lowballing is not prefered, I need wheels and tires too.

Make offers. All will be considered, and replied to regardless of what your terms are. Remember, I'm not in any hurry to get rid of these. I would rather have something else, but these will do till the time comes.


TO SUM IT ALL UP:

3 fresh 18x8.5 OZ Aristos
1 refurbished 18x8.5 OZ Aristo
1 "on its last leg" 225/40R/18 Nitto Neo-Gen
2 "still got some fight in em" 225/40R/18 Nitto Neo-Gens
2 pretty decent 225/40R/18 Dunlop Direzza DZ101s
