17x7.5 Advan RS in Dark Gunmetal

Hey guys, I have a set of Advan RS in gunmetal that I'm selling for $1500 (new lowered price!) with the Bridgestone RE750 in 215/40R17. The size is 17x7.5, offset of +35, PCD of 4x100. I'm in LA county and here's some pictures of it on my car:









The wheels are in perfect shape and have less than a thousand miles on them now. The Bridgestone RE750's have around 90% or more tread left. They come with the Advan caps worth $40 MSRP each. I'll take pictures of them off the car when I have time this week but I'm taking serious offers only. No trades, just cash money or Paypal after the fees. You can either PM me or call me at 323.564.5797 and ask for Brian. Thanks for looking.
If you need a shipping quote, PM me your zip code. Thanks.

Unfortunately, I'm not interested in them BUT those are beautiful wheels. I wonder if that's a MINI friendly offset? And do they fit the newer 14mm lugs?

Hey man, thanks for the comment! I actually forgot to mention that they'll have to be drilled out just slightly to fit 14mm lugs. At first, I just listed these on Honda forums but a customer told me to list them on this board as the offset isn't too far fetched from what some want on the board. I do apologize if I was wrong to assume they'd fit with some massaging.

NO NO DONT DRILL THE RIMS!!! Jeff at Texas speedwerks has a AWESOME solution, CONVERT your stupid 14s ( MINI is A$$ for doing that) to 12s with this kit.....TXWERKS.com I bought a set, This is a MUST if you want after market options, they also allow use of spacers.

Very nice wheels, those are exactly what I'm looking for, but I don't have that kind of money at the moment.

Awww... I'm glad to hear they're perfect for someone else too. Wish I could sell them without losing too much more money so I'm lowering the price to $1500. Hopefully someone will take them off my hands.

I just saw a set of these in 18x9 on a Subi, today and they were freakin sweet. I loved the dark gunmetal color. But, I have my eyes set on the 18 x 7.5 RZ...BUMP

Okay, I like these. By that, I mean that I LOVE these. I have the money to take them off your hands but I have a few questions. How much do they weigh? Are they considered light-weight? How much are you losing, if any, by selling here. In other words, what's the "new" value of these? If I can save enough $ by buying these used, I can justify it to my wife. Ya' follow me? How much money am I saving by buying them from you? Sorry about the namby-pamby. Send a PM asap...thanks!!!

they should weight about 18 pounds (not incredibly light weight) the wheels can be found online for between 4-500 a piece (im assuming he works at a wheel/tire shop so i dont know what he paid.) and these are really nice wheels and i hope you dont buy them because i want them!!!

When I weighed them before I put on the tires, they weighed 17lbs which is a pretty reasonable weight for a 17x7.5 non-forged rim. New, these are around $1900 for just the rims without the Advan caps, which are like $160 themselves for the set. The Bridgestones are usually around $150 a piece I believe. This is all pricing off the top of my head but I'll double check in the morning to make sure I quoted this correctly. Anyway, even with my discounts, I'm still losing quite a bit of money at this price.

cmr076 - Hopefully by mid-August, this set will be gone! But if not, they're all yours. ;)

a couple more questions

I've nearly convinced myself (and my wife!) To buy these but, I have some questions.
1.) How much is shipping going to set me back?
2.) Is there any chance that the Offset difference could do any harm to my suspension etc?
I believe stock offset is ±45...would the Advans be pushed out or brought in? If they were even with or even a little outside the fenders/wheel wells, I think it would look sweet, I just don't want to do any damage. BTW, my car is NOT lowered.

1.) I just did a quick quote and it seems to be around $150 to ship to Baton Rouge, LA with everything fully insured.

2.) I would assume that +35 should be ok as I was looking at some aftermarket wheel sizes on tirerack and they suggest 17x7.5 +42 setups. TR's wheel suggestions tend to lean on the conservative side too.
