ARE Le Mans wheels 17x9.5/17x11 + Nitto tires
Just testing the waters here to see if there is any interest in these wheels I have. They are American Racing Le Mans wheels. These are EXTREMLY rare wheels. I am the only one in the country running these on a 3rd gen and there is proberbly under a half a dozen with them on a 4th gen. The fronts are 17x9.5 and the rears are 17x11. The specs for them are for a 4th gen. These wheels where bought off John LeBlanc(former owner of MBA) They are in almost perfect condtion. They just need a good hand polish and they will look flawless. I had the centers painted gloss black at a local body shop. I also have a spare 9.5" wheel as well. I would like to sell them as a set with the tires. The tires have at the most 15 miles on them. Fronts are 275/40/17 Nittos 555s and the rears are 315/35/17 Nitto drags. I really dont want to get rid of them due to the fact that I must get new wheels but I just want something on my car that actually fit w/o the need for spacers. I run spacers for these on the front and I had to swap to a 4th gen rear. I want to go back to a 3rd gen rear so I can get wheels with a deeper lip to them and still have wheels that fit.I will give the spacers away for free to anyone with a 3rd gen that buys these wheels. Asking $1500 for everything.

Seems like a fair price. Good luck with the sale. How did you like those tires? In the rear? Good, or would you not buy them again...

well I never got a chance to see how good they grabbed. the only miles I put on them was drivng back from the tuner and I never got on the car because it wasnt insured or registered. had to keep a low profile. I would buy them for the next set of wheels though.
