I had a nice set of bronze RE30s that I curb checked and had repainted. I didn't like how they turned out so I ended up trading them for some other wheels. I wish I still had them right now. My second most favorite wheel, right behind the TE37.

Decided to pass on a set of RE30s that I found because I've noticed how hard it has been to sell wheels on here, and how a lot of people have been taking hits on the price. So, since I'm keeping the GT-Cs, I thought about maybe taking the faces of them off and having them powdercoated a custom color, then doing a deep cleaning and polish on the barrels. Cory, I need to holla to find out what kind of prices your PC connection can do.

Did someone say RE30s?

More information, please!

I came close to pulling the trigger on these. Offsets are standard S2K offsets (read: not wild). Merc silver is the perfect finish too IMO. The only reason I didn't jump on them is that I just got my GT-Cs in March and know that I'd be taking a big hit on them to try and sell, plus I'd need to buy tires for the RE30s. All in all, I estimate a net loss of about $1000, which isn't terrible, but I can think of a better uses of the money.

They are sexy though.

IMO, those are still a bit pricey. I got my bronze set (same offsets) for $1500 and they came with decent tires. And not to mention, that was like three years ago!

Since everyone is talking about new purchases, I'll join in on the conversation. Just picked up a Recaro seat for an awesome price (only $135.00), but after getting it home and looking at it closely, I'm beginning to think that it's a replica and not an authentic one....

Hey Rudy! I'm digging your old stompin' grounds. That's cool - your Integra photo there is right in the same spot as our S2k photo, just facing the opposite direction. We had hoped to shoot on the other side of the island with the great views of San Francisco. But it was Sunday and there were too many cars around for us to find enough space.

(Hey Eric! Sorry to jackin' your thread here)
