Piratse, make sure you bring a straight edge and ruler with you to do some calculations, if you're physically going to check for offsets. Offsets are not stamped on CCW's.

If you do not know how to measure the offset:

1. Measure the exact width of the wheel.
2. Divide by two to find your centerline.
3. Measure distance between mounting pad to centerline by laying the wheel on its face and measure from mounting pad to straight edge across the diameter of the wheel. This will be your backspace.
4. Subtract the wheel centerline from the backspace. You will have one of three scenarios, positive, zero and negative offset. I'm almost certain you'll have a positive offset from the listed wheels. (25.4mm to an inch)

I hope he's not paying that much for used wheels even if they're ccw lol.. If I was getting a good price on the wheels I wouldn't mind putting spacers.

Of course if your getting new ccw's you tell them exactly what specs you want.

good used wheels seem to hold their value quite well,but yea i know what u mean, u never know what kind of issues u might run into with used wheels, if they go for 3 grand new i wouldnt go higher then 2 grand with tires if i really liked them

if i was in your position id probbly offer him $1700 ish, thats just me

Thanks again everyone. And you too SChema.

My boss is thinking about keeping them, I'm still trying to convince him to sell them to me. They are just sitting there for years!

it must be a different model, because the classics don't come in 19's. Check out which model they are for sure before you decide to make a purchase.
