I never thought it would be such a pain to find some Millenia 9-spokes for autocross (DS)! I just drove 20 minutes to a local salvage yard, scoped out four decent wheels and the best price I could get the guy to do was $100 a wheel. Granted they were clean, but still think $200-250 is not unreasonable for a set without center caps.

How much have you guys paid for these wheels if you don't mind me inquiring?

(pm me if you have a set)

 

$100 per wheel??? That's pretty expensive. I saw some a little while ago for around $200 for all four. I'd wait--I'm sure you'll be able to get a better deal than that.

 

my millenia rims came with my car since the owner before did autocrosses....I guess it saved me the headache your going through....

 

i saw some fresh white powder coated millenas on ebay go for like 130, they where clean

My thoughts exactly...

 

I can email my friend who's R was stolen from Microsoft last month. He's got these wheels with fresh R compounds on them. I'm sure he'd let them go for cheap. Just send me an IM.

Yeah, please do. Isn't Microsoft in Oregon?

Keep me posted.

I found a few stunna's on this board who were happy to sell their stock wheels for cheap.

http://forums.mazdaworld.org/

Don't offer more than $150 for all 4 and of course start lower than that.

Now if I only had the cash for the rubber.

 

Dont forget 93-95ish 929 wheels work just as well and IMHO look better.

 

I had the 929's for my old 5-lug hatchcrap - I picked them up for $90 off ebay...

sold em for $225 with some decent tread Azenis..

 

I got my millenias for $100 for ALL four. That was back when I bought the car in 01.

 

matt.. ive been looking a bit also, nothing serious though. so, i thought i had 2 millenia wheels at work, turns out i cant find them. haha

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors...&rd=1

there is 1 for $45. but shipping is $25. haha thats rediculous. another guy was selling 1 for like $140 or something. only like 15 for shipping.

 

:raises hand:

They've been a great wheel. No complaints. Got them for $200 for the complete set off of another H-T member. I bought them powdercoated gunmetal

 

Crap i got a good deal on my set then.. I paid $150 and thought i got the big one but i guess not.. Hell for $250 ill sell my Ronal's .

They look like these but are a yellow center with a silver lip.
crap, i forgot they are 16".. Sorry

I may know a couple in sin city that may still have a set for sale.. i will check it out for you.

 

I've bought 3 sets in the last 2 years. You can get them from several E-Bay merchants (gwrench3 and rswheels are their handles I think) for about $80 per wheel for a set of 4 (but add in shipping to that). That's the most I paid. I also bought one set privately for $200. So $50 - $100 each delivered is what I would expect.

 

I bought mine out of a local junkyard for $150 for the whole set. It was $40 each wheel with the centercaps, and one wheel was missing the cap so they gave me ten bucks off on it. I even got to rock a set of stock Millenia tires on my car for a couple of days and have all sorts of fun rubbing issues.

I had trouble finding Millenias for a price I wanted to pay, and ended up buying 929s from Jetydosa for a much better price. They're .5 lbs heavier than Millenias, but still much better than stock. I actually had somebody ask me if they were the JDM ITR wheels.
Some info here:
http://www.geocities.com/typer_801/wheels.htm

 

I've runa set of those for quite a while, great wheel for the price. I got mine from a former ITR owener who sold them to me for $400 mounted with Kumho V700's.

BTW, those wheels are included with the sale of my car...

Who wants to be the first one to learn an important life lesson: "Don't buy used wheels from rally car drivers"



Just kidding Rene.

Yeah egay's usually a lost cause.
I found a place in "Grover" NC that will sell me four for $200 shipped or picked up for $150. Turns out Grover is past Charlotte and Gastonia. Hell, I might drive there to get them anyway to avoid being ripped off. I wish the place in Knightdale would just lemme have the set for $200
