Enkei V-1's (18") in So. Cal.
Well, I had to do it-
The '97 WS6 had to go before I even got to take advantage of this great forum.
All that remains is the painful memory of one of the greatest cars I have ever owned. A beautiful set of 18" Enkei V-1 3-piece rims. I had searched for the 'perfect' set of rims for my now departed (sob) T/A for over a year when I happened upon a Wings West Body kit ad. The car had this very same set of rims, and (at least in Southern California) was the one and only car that I saw with these. (I later saw a 17" version of the rim out of state...)
Cost (special order from Discount Tire Center) was $2150 for the 4, and another $250 per Eagle F-1. (A great price for tires at the time.) The tires are completely torched (as seems to be the case with anything that got near that car!) so they are of no use to anyone.
The rims are another story. I wanted to post here before I went the 'traditional' route as I could not possibly see these on anything but another F-Body.
I'm going to sell them for $1000 o.b.o. out in the real world but will take $550 FIRM for anyone in the forum that is interested. I would REALLY prefer to sell to someone within a reasonable driving area from me as I would like the prospective buyer to see these in person first and with the price as such, I don't want to spend any time or money on this. I feel that this price at least earns me the right to just sell them and not deal with any shipping hassles. If we must get into that, I will if the arrangements sound painless on my end.
All four rims are in great shape with the exception (there's always one, right) of 3 nicks on one outer rim. (see photos) I have supplied photos of the rims both on and off the car (must choke back the tears) to give an idea of how insane these things are.
As I no longer own an F-body, I will most likely not see responses to this (I'll try, though) so you can email me at: d@desotographics.com.
Thanks again for reading this and for allowing me to browse this site for the last few years. I'm hoping for another F-body again (after I get out of a new truck payment and new baby payments!) but something tells me it won't be anytime soon.... such a shame...
Thanks,

p.s. Non-F-Body related: Mopar guys: I also am selling a 2nd owner (purchased from original owner a year ago) '84 Dodge Daytona turbo. Beautiful condition and runs. Gas mileage in the mid-20's, but needs some engine work. I know nothing about turbos so I can only guess that there's a vacuum issue. Great power, but sporatic. I can supply details/pictures. First $1k takes it.
