Mille Miglia Evo-5's MINT!!

I have a set of 4 AUTHENTIC Evo 5's for sale. I know tirerack has some "look-a-likes" but let's face it, there not the original. I bought these about a year ago and never put them on my car as unfortunately I never got around to getting the rest of the parts needed (suspension, tires, etc...) Anyway, I'm not sure what to sell these for as I know they are hard to get and a desirable set of rims.

I bought them used and was told they only had a couple thousand miles on them. They look like it as there is NO curb rash, NO bends, and VERY little scratches. Nothing noticeable. I know, I know, this thread is worthless without pictures. I'll post later, I just wanted to gauge the interest out there.

Any offers?

Here are some pictures. There are a couple scratches that I tried to show in the pics. Overall, these are in GREAT shape.

Sorry, but I can't take $400. I paid $600+ shipping and never used them. These are hard to come by especially in this condition. I probably should have posted a price but I'm looking to put around $550 in my pocket. Shipping will be around $150 so that equates to a total of $700. I'm open to offers, but $400 is too low.

Thanks for your interest.

Personally, I went with the 17's for a little more rubber. I don't think there is much of a difference in look between 18" and 17", but that's just my opinion.

Not off the top of my head. According to the "Difinitive Wheel Weight post" they weigh 24 lbs. I will check the weight when I get home and report back.

I have these on my car and according to Tirerack, in 17x8 with the Maxima bolt pattern they are only 22.5 lbs. I actually had their agent double check that weight because it seemed low to me. These are beautiful rims and they look like 18s because of the spoke design. From far away they look huge, up close they look like 17s. See my sig pic for how they look. I have only about a 1.7" front drop (three finger gap), they look even better with a lower drop: check out Goaliekeg's Max (hope he doesn't mind my posting this photo):

Thanks for the post VQuick.....SWEET car man!! I'm surprised someone hasn't jumped on these yet. They are in AWESOME shape and are extremely hard to come by.

Sweet rims. 22ibs not bad either. I wish I had the money laying around to get them. The price is good.

bum deal, i'm looking for a set of 17" wheels to match my michelin pilot a/s' but i can't drop that much on wheels right now; also getting the car repainted and some other mods going. i hate to see you have to sell them on ebay, but like everyone else, the price is a little too high (unfortunatelly for you, the rest of us probably don't know the rarity of these wheels -- i know, i personally don't have a clue as to their availability -- so them being "rare" doesn't justify the higher price for me). good luck though!

Well, they're not exactly "rare" because they were extremely popular rims until they were discontinued a year or two ago. However, it's going to be hard to find them in the proper size and bolt-pattern in good condition like these are. I will say that when I bought mine new from TireRack, they were $189 each ($756 + shipping), so IMO $700 shipped is a good deal for these rims. Soontobe, I would go ahead and put them on eBay and/or xrims.com.

Thanks Everyone for the interest. Me being a consumer myself, I understand where you are coming from in wanting a good deal. I've had a lot of "interest", but nobody has pulled the trigger.

**PRICE DROP TO $650 shipped**

I really can't go any lower than that......and I HATE to see some fool from eBay get these rims and not a true max enthusiast.......Thanks for the post VQuick!!

I'm shocked that nobody jumped on these. I have listed on eBay. If someone is really wants these let me know and I'll end the listing.
