Centerline Matrix wheels and Kumho MX tires
I am looking into a new set of wheels for my 91 z28 and was wondering if there is any interest in the centerline matrix wheels I have now. They are 17x8 front and 17x9.5 rear with kumho ecsta MX tires (255/45/17 front and 285/40/17 rear) with ~70% tread left. The only real flaw with these wheels is that the outer bead got scuffed when the tires were mounted but it is nothing major and is only noticeable if you get right down and look at the edge. I paid ~$1700 for these wheels and tires when I got them and was wondering what I can get for them before I go and drop more money on new wheels and tires. Here are some pictures, the wheels and tires are mounted and still on my car.

I was hoping to get ~1200 plus shipping for the whole set, so I could at least cover some of the cost of the new wheels. These wheels are going for ~$1300 new and the tires are an additional $550 for all 4.

That's a Super Sweet deal. I wish I would have seen this post before I bought my set of wheels and tires. I paid over $1800 for my set. I have always liked those Centrlines they are a great name brand wheel. You just can't beat this deal. I'm just sorry I can't get them for myself.

Nazzz is a great seller!! I bought his older set of polished 92 wheels.
If I had the money Nazzz, I'd be buying these wheels from you.
Bump for a great seller.

I need to get rid of these wheels and tires before I get the new set and will entertain any reasonable offers.

They certainly do look nice. I'm betting they won't clear the new 13.5" C5/C6 brakes that are going on my car though

Re: Centerline Matrix wheels and Kumho MX tires
If you are seroiusly interested I can measure the widest diameter of my C5 brakes and Nazz can measure the inside diameter of the wheels and we can let you know. I am almost positive they will clear. They almost cleared my 16" GTA wheels. Actully they would have if I wanted to clearence the top of the caliper a little. There is tons of room around my ROHs. I can fit my entire hand between the caliper and the wheel. Nazz plans of installing a BAER 13" track kit so it will clear that.
Later.

The backspacing of the 17x8 fronts is 4.5" and the 17x9.5 rears is 5.5"

I have a perspective buyer right now and I believe these are sold.
