Relisted w/ NEW Price: AUTHENTIC Rays Gram Light 57s Pro w/ Titanium Lip ! ! ! SOLD
SOLD
These are not KNOCKOFFS! 100% authentic. I purchased these from a friend who had them on an IS250 hoping to throw these on my car with every intention of making them work on the car, but the style of the wheel doesn't exactly flow with the styling of the car so they are up for sale. He waited 5 months for these wheels to arrive. In order for these two fit properly with no structural or bodily damage to my car, I had to raise it up from it's current height, which I wasn't willing to do, or I had to shave/roll my fenders which I was willing to do. In addition to that, because my car is AWD, it's going to cost me even more in order to get these to work right without throwing off the AWD system (i.e. invest in new tires, which I already planned on). I don't want to break the bank in order to make these fit.
I am not looking to make any profit from this, but to simply come close to breaking even or hopefully break even at the cost of purchasing the wheels from him and shipping and ordering my dream wheels (Leon Hardiritt Orden). Shipping these wheels was extremely expensive, because of the size and weight with the tires, shipping 4 of them, and then having them insured at a cost of $2 for every $100 through UPS. I had them insured for $5k. You do the math. I was told around $200. It was way more than that!
3 of the wheels are in good riding condition. The 4th as you can see is severely damaged, but I'm willing to throw it in to see if there's anything that the potential buyer can do in order to salvage it. It's a 2 piece cast wheel.
MSRP on the damaged 19x9.5 wheel is $1178 according to Autofashion USA based out of California. Add in $40 shipping and it's $1218 for that one wheel alone. My friend recalls paying approximately $4300 and some change for the wheels. (He knows because this is the first time he's ever spent so much on a set of wheels).
Therefore, to order this setup brand new with the tires, it's over $5k. Add in the 5 month wait, or possibly even longer with the recent tsunami damage to Japan.
Autofashion quoted me $1085 for the 19x8.5 wheel and $1178 for the 19x9.5 wheel.
Wheel Specifications:
*Rays Gram Light 57s Pro w/ titanium lip 5x114.3 bolt style pattern
*19x8.5 et +35 (front) ($1085 per wheel)
*19x9.5 et +40 (rear) ($1178 per wheel)
*Authentic Rays Center Caps ($160 for the set)
*Authentic Rays Valve Stem Caps The one on the damaged wheel is missing. Can be replaced for approximately $7
*Falken FK452 Tires for the front 225/35/19. Camber wear, will need to be replaced soon
*General Exclaim UHP for the rear 245/35/19. Pretty much brand new.
$1600 FIRM, down from $1700. EDIT (NOW $1400 SHIPPED FIRM) I've seen 18's with tires sell for double that. Google it for yourself and you will see. Save yourself a few grand and buy these with tires. Essentially, you're paying for one wheel, one tire, one center cap and you're getting 3 wheels and one bad one in need of some serious surgery. **** if you don't want to throw them on the car, use them as a really nice end table. They are absolutely gorgeous in person.
$1400 SHIPPED FIRM

Pictures of them on my car. They do not go with the styling of the car IMO, hence my reason for selling.

I had a quote months ago to have them fixed for no more than $300-$400. KC Trends, a store that deals wit high end wheels here told me that price and then I went to the hub cap and wheel store and they said they would have to send it out and it would cost $250 with $40 to ship the wheel which is included in the total $250.
I don't know how much truth there is to that, but it's still cheap considering the price of each wheel.
