FOR SALE: Four 18x8 et35 Mille Miglia Evo 5

[NYBugman]

Up for sale are my 18x8 et35 Mille Miglia Evo 5 wheels.

I bought these early in the year and refinished them in Porsche GT Silver Metallic, which is the silver that comes on the Carrera GT and is optional on the Porsche 911, Boxster and Cayman. Ten (10) coats of clearcoat were applied to each wheel, and then they were wet-sanded, buffed and waxed to a silk-smooth finish and and better than OEM shine.

I would rate these wheels a 97% out of 100%. There are some imperfections in the paint, some small chips in the clear from the roads and a super-tiny bit of curbage in one wheel, which I will fix and touch up for the new owner. Quite honestly, if I didn't tell you that there were imperfections, you wouldn't have known. I take a lot of care and pride in the wheels that I refinish, and these were my personal wheels, so I put a lot of time and effort into them. You can clean these with soap and water. No wheel cleaner needed. They are that smooth.

I am asking $550 + shipping to the contiguous United States. I will not ship out of the US. Pick-up is preferred and encouraged. Tires are NOT included with this sale and are not for sale, as I am keeping them for use on a new set of wheels. Centering rings will be included with the wheels.

Why am I selling them? These wheels will not fit over the ECS Tuning Stage 2 v.1 brake kit (Boxster calipers/TT Rotors). They will fit onto ANY New Beetle with OEM brakes or Audi TT/20thAE brakes. When I say any New Beetle, that includes the new body style, convertibles, 2.0, 1.8T, TDI, VR6 swaps, etc. They will also fit Mk4 Golf/GTI/Jetta and Mk3 GTI/Jetta VR6 with the right tires. If you have aftermarket brakes (ECS/Porsche, Stoptech, etc.) and want to know if these fit, ask me and I will assist you once the wheels are off the car. The wheels will be ready to ship by 7/10/07.

Email me at vwbugman72@aol.com, PM me or post up if you are interested. I will not honor "dibs", unless you will paypal a $100 deposit (ask me where to send it to). I have excellent eBay feedback (widebody32) and I am an upstanding member of this forum and vwvortex.com.

bump because i'm getting some interest on vwvortex.com, so it looks like you Orgers are going to miss out on these

[NYBugman]

Wow. NOBODY wants these? Not even an offer?

['01vwbeetle]

I like them they just don't come with tires. I need a set of wheels that come with decent tires. I have seen them on the vortex as well. They really do look good!!

[TheInvisibleDork]

I like them, but I am flat-out broke and I'm planning a vacation for next month!

Right wheels, wrong time...

Yeah, the tires that are currently on the wheels are going to go on my new wheels, so these will not be sold with rubber.

For good and inexpensive tires, look at the Kumho SPT. $86 at Tire Rack for 225-40-18.

[NYBugman]

OK. $700 + shipping for the wheels AND tires. Kumho SPT's in 225-40-18. About 3K on them. These tires are basically BRAND NEW.

Buyer pays shipping, or come get them.
