You want my wheels eh. You'd have to get the front right fixed because its curbed.
If you make me a solid offer for wheels AND tires as is I would consider parting with them.

Also, I've been kinda quiet these past few days with a sheared bolt in my clutch. It has been fixed and I can now actually get back to testing out the new brakes.

I drove on them already and have some teaser shots for you tonight. First impression though is that the whole braking system feels solid now. Bite is pretty predictable and the pedal just feels awesome. Feels like I can modulate it with more confidence now. The rotors look AWESOME on the car too. I'm trying to see if I can grab one of the teasers from my Vossen photoshoot.

By the way, the Stillen Metal matrix pads are excellent street pads. Low dust, no noise and good cold and hot bite. They aren't touchy, they are more gradual, but then when you get on them a little more you can tell they are definitely better than the stock pads. They are also cheaper and rotor friendly, so no brainer for me. I recommend them for someone replacing stock pads...they are similar to Hawk HPS pads for a lot less.

I'm working on getting the teaser shot! Should have it in a few days.

Well, it's just the front right. I know you are anal about your car so you WILL have to get it fixed. It's not deep at all, but there's a good amount of it. So its definitely fixable, but they usually run like 75 a wheel to get redone.

One of the bolts that holds the pressure plate to the flywheel. The head of the bolt sheared off and was bouncing inside. I am so lucky nothing was damaged. Car was back up and running in a day thanks to Jnaut staying up late into the night to have me back on the road asap.

That's fine with me. How much tread left on the tires? I won't offer more than 900-$1k though.
