17" Epsilon "GTA style" wheels
These wheels were originally C4 wheels. They have the original gold GM paint on them so they have a couple little nicks and chips from people using an impact wrench on the lugs and the socket hitting the paint. There's 2-17x8.5s and 2-17x9.5s. The lips have a couple small curb rash spots and one that is pretty bad and could use repair. One wheel doesn't have the original Epsilon center cap but has a black cap with a painted on E, I imagine you could find another center cap on Ebay or somewhere. I'll have some better pictures tomorrow but am looking to see if there's any interest in the wheels.
I'm looking for about $800 obo (buyer pays shipping), but I'm a little flexible so make an offer even if you think it might be ridiculous. The wheels don't come with the tires mounted (you wouldn't want the tires anyways they're unusable I just mounted to test fit them with)

I never actually had the wheels on my car. I was planning on having new rim shells made for the wheels from www.kodiakracingwheels.com but I have decided to go a diferent route.

Sorry about the hold up on the pictures, I've just been busy with finals this week.
http://www.streetdisturbance.invisio..._33_355864.jpg - this shows the wheels how they are right now. The chrome looks good but could use a polish. I can polish them before they go out if you'd like.
http://www.streetdisturbance.invisio..._33_642888.jpg - this is one of the 9.5s. The damage on this wheel is the worst of them all. The wheel is still straight and should hold air. You could have it fixed fairly cheap if you wanted by a wheel repair shop.
http://www.streetdisturbance.invisio..._33_515190.jpg - this shows the chips in the gold. They're not as bad as I remembered. There's only a few chips and they're all in the holes like this one (this is probably the biggest chip of them all). Not all the wheels have the chips, but with a little bit of touchup paint from GM with the wheels on your car you won't be able to see them at all.
http://www.streetdisturbance.invisio..._33_482716.jpg - this is a small mark in one of the 8.5s. As you can see it's very small and the wheel holds air.
http://www.streetdisturbance.invisio..._33_671149.jpg - this is the other 9.5.
http://www.streetdisturbance.invisio...7_33_46677.jpg - I disassembled one of the 9.5s to see what work would be involved with the new wheel shells. The center just sets over the two shells
http://www.streetdisturbance.invisio..._33_130316.jpg - The disassembled 9.5, you can see the silicone bead where the two meet.
http://www.streetdisturbance.invisio..._33_712655.jpg - the center piece.
These pictures show every imperfection I could find when looking at them. They're in good overall condition besides for the curbrashing. I'm just trying to point out any problems to make sure you know what you're getting. If you have any other questions feel free to contact me, I'm a little flexible on the price.

I have these wheels on my 91 Formula they need spacers just like 4th gen wheels. I'm actually running 9.5" all the way around and a 4th gen rear so I did not need spacers in the rear but 2" spacers on the front. And these wheels will need to be resealed when they are put back together. I also had my centers powdercoated black and used 4th gen WS6 center caps. Hope this input helps someone.
