Default FS: 4 Donuts to Store Car With

First Name: Mocky
Price: $100 obo. PayPal or cash

Contact: PM

I am changing up my storage situation so the donuts that I have stored my car over the past 16 years is going to finally change. I normally park the car on 4 donuts in the winter. I won't need them anymore. I have no idea what these are worth but on ebay, they are around $40 a piece. Throw me a halfway reasonable number and they are yours.
Thanks

Actually, Chuck, Google IS a help. That's why I said it's around $40 a tire.

All I could find was spare tires and donut tracks in parking lots.

You're selling 4 spare wheels? Just curious: You mount these on the car for storage?

I do. Since 2001 with my first s2000. I have a pretty set pattern of storing the s2000 for 15+ years. Used it since then, never had a problem. Stored whatever "daily" wheels I used in the basement and stored the car on donuts.

Dumb question, but how much lower does the car sit on the donuts (I've never used my spare yet luckily). Thinking about buying these, so I can sell the BBS wheels that I use for winter storage now...

It DOES sit lower but on a stock ride height, it's fine. I'm slightly lowered and as long as I'm not driving down the street or anything, for storage purpose, it's fine. I've used this setup since 2001. BBS wheels for winter storage is nicer than donuts though!

Ah that's really not bad at all, but I think I may hold off for now. I've been using my old set of tires a lot more than expected with this weather going back and forth this spring, and driving on 4 donuts may be a bit too sketchy.

Definitely a worthwhile pickup for someone who doesn't want to deal with flat spots/tire compound degradation in the spring though!

No problem. I just need them out of my garage along with the hood dampers.
