My bad, it appears I was retarded earlier, forgive me it was late. I still wouldn't get those because they're damn expensive.

Ive got a set of hoosiers used for about 40 autox runs that I'll sell you for 50 bux each plus shipping. Theyre 205-15-15 and you can just pick up some rota slipstreams or koseis and have a nice set of track tires and wheels.

Were the tires shaved or unshaved when he installed them? If they were shaved then there's lots of tread life left and the tires look good IMO. The reason I say that is because once the K tires get a bunch of heat cycles in them, they get the "blue ring of death" and lose a noticeable amount of their overall grip. With this much tread left on a shaved tire, I don't think the tires been heat cycled many tires and should have lots of life left.

Also, the comment before on pic#9. ??? I don't see anything wrong with that tire. Looks like a good Kumho to me.

$675 still may be a little steep considering the tires are around $110 a piece - new! That means you're paying a lot for those wheels which aren't anything special IMO.

1) These wheels are NOT legal for stock classes for an ITR as they are not stock width and not within 1/4 of stock offset.
2) I would say the used V700s are worth no more than $175 for 4. They look in good shape but hey, they have seen probably 20-50 runs already.
If you plan on using your stock wheels for the R tires and use thes for street wheels than its a fair deal but not great. Remeber you are going to have to spend $80 to get the 8 tires remounted.

Regards,
Alan

those wheels don't look all that light to me. If you are getting race wheels, at least get something lightweight.

I got 4 Mazda wheels with V700s on them (can probably squeeze most of a season out of them), 2 5mm wheel spacers and lugnuts for quite a bit less than that.

Hey, metal
I'm looking for a set of wheels to use for racing also.
You mentioned Mazda wheels. Which ones fit '01 ITR? What else will fit?
I've only heard about the Millenia wheels , is that true?
