Any interest in these NEW rims, when I get them back in 4 weeks?
18x10 & 18x11 - 3 piece rims.
Reversed drop centers, so the center section is larger, (the same as if it was on a 19" rim), also chrome flat outer lips.
The actural rims will be chrome centers, NOT painted as shown.
I had to send them back to the mfgr because the paint was chipping, so I deceided on a chrome finish. They will look HOT HOT HOT!
However, I have general misgivings due to the paint chipping on the initial hand torqing of them, and some other issues, (NOT about the wheel), that have come up, that I just cannot bring myself to overcome, so I have deceided I do not want to retain their product, no matter how sweet they may end up looking.
They are brand new, and will be new in box when they return them to me in 3-4 weeks with the full chrome finish.
I am asking EXACTLY what I paid for them, $4,600.00
If you are interested please contact me, and we can finalize when they come back in a few weeks.
Remember they will have chrome centers, not painted as shown.
I also want to stress that these are a very high quality & light rim.
The paint problem was probably on their subcontractor, and they are making good to redo them, thru their normal chrome vendor. (NOT their painting vendor)
Its just my perception that they could do more for me and aren't, so I don't want their product. Call it principle.

Fikse has the bolts on the inside so they do not show.

Re: Any interest in these NEW rims, when I get them back in 4 weeks? (Corvette Poor)
I was told by HRE that the max size for a rear lip you can do on a Vette is 2" withouth shaving off some of the rear axle.
You say these wheels have a 3" rear lip. Is HRE mistaken? :confused:

Those are NOT FIKSE's. Bolts come from the back and windows and lug pockets are chamfered.
