I believe they go for about $750 a piece new.

I have the same rims,are you putting them on your car or re-selling them? What size are they?
[edit] by which I mean width & offset?

Holy s**t are you for real! Any pics on the car? They seem to be the same ones pictured in the first post... I was honestly going to re sell them until i found out they clear Brembo calipers and i wet myself a little! All i know at the moment is that they ar 19" by either 7.5" or 8.5" with Falken 225/35/19 Tyres... I just pray they are the 8.5" ones but with 225's i doubt it!

I have some dodgy phone pics somewhere. I'll see if I can find them.

Mine are 8.5 and the previous owner had 225s on them when I bought them. I have 235s now. I contacted Kahn & jax and both told me that the 19x8.5 5x100 is +35.

One of these days I will get coilovers and drop the front a bit more and I think they will look fantastic. Currently sits a bit high at the front.

[EDIT] Due to my retardo rim measurement skills I now find out I actually have 7.5 +45 with 235s.

I wouldn't mind doing them like a charcoal colour as they do have a few stone chips... Ah,ok... They have a decent offset... Yeah, must do for any car i buy...

All i know is they came off a stock 05 GT Auto Black in colour with a STi Sports Mesh Grille and that is it... Anyone off here? It was water damaged...

Yeah, mine were damaged when I bought them and I had mine resprayed. You can still see little dents in the paint where some of the deeper scratches were if you are up close.

I couldn't decide whether to go silver or gunmetal and I'm still not sure what I should have done.
I got silver similar to the original but with a bit more metallic. I'm happy with the colour.

Here is one of the crap phone photos I mentioned. At least the pic is crappy enough to hide the dirtiness :)

And here is one of the front. Will require a little work when I go lower.

Yeah, needs more low and it should look pretty darn nice I think.

Because of the curve of the face I think they look better from an angle rather than side on like that pic.
Although most wheels do.

The spokes do stick out some though, which might help explain why all the second hand sets are all scratched up.

Haven't thought about it, I'm more of a 'I'll pay what you're asking' as opposed to being asked what I'll pay.. Seems fair that buyer only pay what is expected from the seller.... Right???

:lol: You're hopeless.

Not selling mine. I may reconsider when I'm up for my next set of tyres but my current ones are almost brand new so that'll be a while.

Well... I just picked them up and brought them home... Absolutely destroyed to find out they are 19"x7.5" + and the Falken Rubber on them is rubbish... They have heaps of stone chips and very light gutter rash... Me being me i can't handle that... So tomorrow will check to see clearance on Brembo calipers... If all works out they will be sandblasted and repainted in a Dark Metallic Charcoal colour or a Fuchsia (STi Pink) or Fluro Pink... Thoughts?

Why is 7.5 is so bad? Were they advertised as 8.5?
Mine also had masses of damage, which wasn't so pronounced in the pics I saw before buying, but that's how it goes. They came up nice after the repair & respray.

I think they would look good in a dark metallic colour but I'm not sure about pink. It might look ok on the car but I would never put them on my car in that colour. Also, if you are potentially going to resell them at some point, your buyer group would drastically shrink.
