Default FS: Volk CE28N wheels w/ Kuhmo MX tires

CE28N Mercury silver 17X7.5 +50 / 17X9 +63 - limited production - 1 of ten sets in the country when I bought them. Very good condition, albeit w/ some small scratches.

Includes Kuhmo MX tires w/ plenty of tread remaining, hub-centric rings, and wheel locks/lug nuts.

$2000 firm, local pickup only

Yes, as the GF alludes, I might be interested depending on the condition... I have a perfect set of Merc Silver ce28ns on mine for street & wouldn't mind having a similar set for autocross. Please feel to post pics or send via PM.

Thanks,
Stanford

Here are some old pics I have....I'll take some detail pics of the wheels/tires off the car when I have a little more time, hopefully later tonight.

Very pretty. Are you able to send or post any shots of the scratches mentioned earlier? Didn't know if they're light paint scratches that can be touched up or if the're down to the aluminum. Really appreciate the quick-turn on posting those, and hope you're having a great week.

Best,
Stanford

Here you go, Stan. The fronts are like new, each rear has a scratch for which I've also included a close-up.

Goll, I love that mercury silver -- I'm trying to convince myself I want 'em. Well, I know I WANT them, I guess that's not exactly what I meant...

The real issue for me is the feel of the car, in spirited driving -- the best tthing I've done for my car is switch from the cheapo tires the (used car) dealer had put on, to the stock 16" Bridgestones, which I now adore. In y'all's experience, how will the handling and ride change when going from those stock tires (which I inflate to a few pounds over stock) to these, or other good 17s when I replace these?

Note: though I drive pretty fast (street only, no autocross), I manage to get decent wear from my Bridgestones, so that's not an issue. Then there's that whole spinning-in-the-rain thing, always fun in those Potenzas.

I have 225 front / 255 rear Kumho MX tires on my 17" CE28N wheels, and like the setup a lot. Even for track and autocross work.
