18X8 ET14.5 Speedline Alessios 5x120.65
I have a set of 4 that are all 18x8 ET 14.5. They need to be stripped and restored. Easiest way is to sandblast the faces and buy new lips. I have already done one set for my car and decided to let this set go. The lips appear to be in good shape. Two of the inner barrels have a flat spot. I ran one on the set I restored and it didn't affect the balance. Purely cosmetic and on the inside so nobody would see it.
Asking $1400 + shipping. You can readily buy new lips from felgenfuch and resell these lips/barrels to recoup most of your money. I bought new 1" wider lips and am running 18x9 without spacers on my car.
Far right set of of wheels... Right picture is the set on my car that I restored.

What is the backspacing on these wheels? You say you have one set for sale, but the photo shows three sets, which set is for sale? Could you post photos of all 4 wheels that are for sale?
Thanks..
Thanks..

As stated above, it is the far right set of wheels. ET is 14.5, a quick search would show it converts to a smidge of 5" backspace. I have started to slowly strip the wheels whenever I get some spare time with aircraft paint stripper.
Easiest way is to sandblast them, which I will eventually do if nobody buys them. If I go that far I will buy new lips and sell for much more. I got out of the military and am now a full time student without an income, so I just do a bit here and there. I am rebuilding another set of wheels at the moment. These are next though.

Thanks for the reply. I saw "Far right set of of wheels..." in the first post, but since I'm not a mind reader I didn't know exactly what that was referring to. Maybe instead of the "..." you could have typed "are for sale".
Just like "ET is 14.5", I have referenced wheels by back spacing and by offset. I have no earthly idea what "ET is 14.5" means. And for your information I did google this and the first three pages of google results show absolutely nothing relating to wheel back spacing.
Thanks for your time and GLWS.

I apologize. I should have been a bit more clear with the description. I've been dealing with a ton of wheels lately and I should have just posted te backspace initially. Thanks! I'm sure they will eventually sell. If not, I'll post them on ebay and they should definitely sell.
