these are my old nippon f-2...really really nice wheels, the are really strong, not as light as i was thinking but light already.

i like to post picture ... lol

i think you just have to paint your axel nut and rear bearing cap in black. me I dont like the center cap.

I love that car, and nippons are nice too!

They weight 14lbs. each.

copy cat!!!!

my good friend's brother died and he inherited them from him. his brothers wife doesnt know anything about cars so she gave all his stuff to my friend. thats where all the focus suspension/wheels questions came from in the suspension/brakes section of the forum. anyway, the wheels are the typical black 15 x 6.5 (i called em 15x7 but i stand corrected). they were sitting in the garage when i went to mark's (my buddy) house this weekend and i asked him what he wanted. . . "300 i guess" came out, followed by my reply of "I'll take em."

i know im super slack and havent posted any pics of my car yet, but im going to try and take some tomorrow while ive got my fiance's digital camera. ill take some pics of the other two sets of wheels mark is selling too. . . maybe somebody on here wants em.

wait... are they 4x100? kind of a dumb question... but it would suck if you got the new shoes and then couldnt wear them...

[Jho]

Score!

yeah, he ordered em for his auto-x miata project. the only thing im worried about is offset, but it shouldnt really be a problem because lots of folks on here run miata wheels. theyre 40 offset by the way.

you guys would have **** if you'd seen what all came out of Mark's brothers shop. . . there were so many rare and unusual parts for cars. . . i got a 323 gtx grill with hella rally lights in it as a freebie. . . mark sold his brother's porsche 914 with (and im not exaggerating here) 30 some odd sets of porsche wheels, 4 or 5 full sets of tires, all the porsche parts his brother had accrued over the last 40 years (including some really rare stuff), and a couple of motors. . . all for $5k. thats what mark's brother instructed him to sell it for. the guy came up from florida to pick it up with a dodge stretch panel van and a car trailer. . . he had to make two trips.

as of right now, mark has all the focus suspension, three sets of wheels (one of which im buying), some miata flush mount headlights (like the east bear lights) and some other tools and odd balls stuff. i also bought a miller 120volt mig welder with tanks and all the accessories for $50. it looks like it was used maybe once.

oddly enough, one of the sets of wheels looks just like yours, jho, theyre rota 16x7.5s with brand new tires on em. . . 4x100 off a miata if anyone is interested.

[therieldeal]

price on those 16's ?!?

40mm offset will be perfect by the way. anywhere from 38-42 is considered the correct range

i can ask but there here in middle georgia. i dont have a clue what shipping would be, but i will ask him about price. they look pretty decent, and they have good tires. he'll probably sell em cheap.

like i said, ill check. ill try and take pics too.

ok new info. 16x7 40 offset with 80% or better tread kumho ecstas. wheels weigh 28lbs with tires on them and they look just like jhos. he wasnt sure what to ask but since theyre wheels and tires in good shape i say $350 obo.

[Jho]

Damn, you should buy those Jon! You're always saying how much you like mine.
