318ti.org forum - FS: 16" Sport Package Wheels (Style 18) + Tires

For Sale:

A set of four, 16" 318ti Sport Package wheels mounted with Fuzion ZRi Summer tires. 225/50-16. I'd say the overall condition of the wheels is fair. They are certainly a serviceable set of wheels and tires, but not the best looking. Would be a good upgrade for someone with the stock 15" steel or alloy wheels. The center caps are included. One is almost brand new and the other three are probably the originals, the center caps that is.

Wheel Condition, Curb Rash: Wheel #1 has a good bit of curb rash, wheels #2 and #3 have almost no curb rash and wheel #4 has more curb "scrapes" than real chunky rash.

Wheel Condition, Paint: Wheels #1, #2 and #3 are the original wheels from the car. The paint on #1, #2 and #3 is fair. The paint is getting dull. On the inside of the spokes the paint is really fading. See pic. They will need a paint job to make them look new.

Wheel #4 is a replacement from a salvage yard for a bent wheel. The paint is good and much more clear and shiny than the other three.

Wheel Condition, Straightness: I want to make it clear the wheels are not perfectly straight. I have driven them for years being very slightly out of round. The bends are too small to see in the pics. At times I've noticed a very slight vibration in the steering, but not enough to make me want to do anything about it. I'm sure they would be simple for a repair shop to make straight. They are very minor bend on the inner face of the wheel.

Tire Condition: The tires are Fuzion ZRi, 225/50-16, which are made/designed by Bridgestone and are made in Japan. DOT production date is the 49th week of 2003. Tire #3 was produced in the 50th week of 2003. The tread depth of the tires is 4/32" to 5/32". They are getting down near the end of their life. I could probably get a full summer (7 months, 8,000 miles of so), out of them before they are near bald and illegal. They are good tires and provide a ton of summer-only traction. I have enjoyed them immensely and will probably buy another set.

Price: $300. Shipping would be extra, but I haven't figured out that would cost yet. Local pickups are welcome. I'm in the southern suburbs of Minneapolis.
