Rota SubZero Gold 17 7.5 wheels
Category: Wheels & Tires
Price: $250
Private or Vendor Listing: Private Listing
Part fits (you may select multiples): R50, R52, R53, R55, R56, R57, R58, R59
Location (Region): NorthEast
Item Condition: Used
I have a set of used Rota Subzero 17x7.5, 45mm offset, 4x100 wheels for sale, on behalf of a friend who sold his R53 and moved across the country.
They're gold, and they have some road rash. They were used for racing and, to be candid, my friend wasn't too gentle on them at pit changes.
But they weigh just 16.5 lbs each, so if you're looking for a nice lightweight wheel and you value performance, they're worth a look. They have a set of seriously thrashed DOT race tires on them. You'll want to replace said rubber.
They will fit 2005-2006 R53/52/50 with M12 wheel bolts (included). They will fit 2007 and later models with adapter studs (you can get a set for ~$90 from WayMotorWorks).
I can take better pics if anyone is interested. (I also need to finish cleaning off the brake dust!) Local pick-up preferred (eastern Massachusetts/Merrimack Valley area).
I think I've made these sound as awful as possible. Any takers?

I've received three PMs, all requesting decent pics. I'm going to take better photos tomorrow morning and will post them here, and notify everyone who PM'd me.

I have taken better photos and posted them as an album on Flickr:

I will also respond to PMs with same link. Now, I hope, you can make a decent evaluation of the wheels. They have a lot of little scratches, from being set on pavement during wheel changes, but no deep curb rash. Most of the cosmetic damage is on the inner rims.
Because they were used for racing and track days, they have never seen snow or salty roads (and just a few rainy days). Once I finished cleaning them up this morning I was actually quite pleasantly surprised by how nice they still are! They don't look new but they aren't trashed.

I believe I have responded to all PMs. If I missed you, ping me.
Edit: I have no local offers at this time, so I am working on a realistic shipping estimate. This may take me until tomorrow. (I need to get packaging, final dimensions and final weights to get the actual cost.) I'll then be following up on PMs with actual costs.
Since i am selling these on behalf of a friend, the best offer will take it. (When I'm selling my own stuff, I simply go in direct order of who responded first.)
