I found these bbs rk wheels http://knoxville.craigslist.org/pts/781639815.html and the guy wants to trade for my 18x9/10 bullits with nitto 555s (about 4000 miles on them the wheels is like new) plus cash. Sould I do it? If so how much cash do you think I should give him? If I do trade it will probably just be for his wheels without the tires.

If I get them I will probably powder coat them black and put a thin red line around them.

Those are some top of the line rims,for some guys.


give him $800 + your wheels. if i was on his shoes i wouldnt take less than that.


does he has to approve the wheels for trade?

Yea I sent him some pics of my wheels and told him I would trade my wheels and tires for just his wheels. He told me he would take 1200 for just the wheels if I wanted to just buy them.

What is the widest tire I can get on a 8.5 inch wheel?

I think 255 or 265. but it looks weird IMO the front tires will stick out. but is up to you.


Thats just my opinion.

If you are gonna pay as much as $1200, just get some brand new wheels.sell the ones you have and get tires for the new ones.

dont get me wrong those are some nice wheels tho.

my 2 cent.

You make a good point.

I really like those wheels I just don't like that they are only 8.5 wide in the back. But I think they would really look good powder coated black with a thin red line to match the interior. I will just have to think about it I guess.

I would not call these rice wheels at all. I see them on 03-04 cobras all of the time and they look great. I think some one on this forum has some black ones on there sn95 and it looks good.

Doesn't thorco have a set like these?


There aren't my favorite by any means, but they do look good. To me they look better on other cars (not SN95s) but they don't look terrible.
