Hello,
I want to sell 4 like new wheels. They were on my car for 1 day. There is nothing wrong with them.

Reduced again to $600.00 Local Pick Up
Orange County
(Huntington Beach)

or email me

The Rear wheels have a deeper lip than the front wheels.





The installers thought the wheels looked like $4,400 wheels, but they are a great bargain.


The reason why I took them off is because even though I think these wheels look better than my stock wheels, I decided to keep my stock wheels because my car is a 40th anniversary edition and when I sell the car it would most likely have more value with everything bone stock. ( I also have no place to store the wheels.)

Hello,
the size of the wheels are:
18 x 8.5
18 x 10

The offset it:
52MM-F, 52MM-R

The bolt pattern is:
5x130

I believe these wheels also fit the boxter.

I checked the weight:
12.95 Kgs Front
12.41 Kgs Rear

The brand is a no name company:
G Force Competition wheels,
There are no brands printed on the the wheel itself. Their imported from outside US. They are probably a replicas of popular looking wheels you have seen.

I am not sure how much they cost new. I know a friend in the wheel business who got me a great deal.

The valve stems are also included.

Hope I answered your questions,

Steven G.

If this is true I would be willing to drop the price under the ebay one. I just really need the space in my garage.
So I will offer it at $1000.00 OBO

Socal40th, either you got ripped off something stupid by your "friend" or you are trying to be a rip off artist... Not good either way.

You start off making the wheels sound like they are worth $4400, and offer them at half that price for $2K and at the first balk you are down to $1000 without shipping. The ebay ones are new and include shipping, so with used wheels you are still high. I bought BBS LM wheels in the same size from Highline Wheels new for $700 for 4... I think they sell those same wheels you have too.

Your reason for selling is fuzzy logic too. You spent the money to buy new, and all the cost of mounting and dismounting and if you like them so much, why can't you just keep your stock wheels in the attic or at a "friend in the business" or in a closet or dig a hole and bury them until you sell the car. Hard to believe you would be so motivated to save that little bit of space that you would give up over $1000 to hurry up and free up that space.

The whole thing smells fishy... So potential buyers will hopefully do the homework first... The Internet is great for sharing information, which can be a bad thing for people trying to pull fast ones...

Those wheels on eBay are much more valuable because they are 19", and 19" are almost always 2 times more than 18".

I bought from Highline, but they are 18" BBS LM style. The wheels are great and shipped as advertized.

I want to know if they will work on the track - a bit more risky with a ripoff company, but perhaps they are good quality, just don't have the overhead of a major wheel company that advertises in every major mag.

I have seen others post that they use these knock-offs for track wheels. They are cast so they are heavier, and that means they are not the best performance choice. Better to get these wheels for the daily use and mount the track tires on your stock wheels.
