FS: DPE R05 Variant S 19in *PICS*



5x112 bolt pattern

Brushed finish on the face and spokes and clearcoated
Hi polished reverse lip
19 x 8 in the front
19 x 10 in the rear

continental tires in the front. tons of tread. 235/35/19
hankook tires in the rear. brand spankin new. 245/35/19

mounted and balanced by EF1 motorsports.

rims are in immaculate condition. absolutely no curb rash or scratches.

comes with hubcentric rings.

located in the san gabriel valley

2900 obo. im willing to ship but buyer pays S&H. local pickup preferred.

these wheels WILL accomodate a BBK. i just had it done recently and they clear WITHOUT even using a spacer. the clearance was REALLY TIGHT THOUGH. i could fit a credit card between the caliper and the back of the spokes. i didnt feel comfortable with it so close so i put a 3 mm spacer in and it fits JUST FINE.

im lowered on eibach coilovers and i have NO RUBBING whatsoever. even with a full car and on turns or dips ive never rubbed. offset is PERFECT.

i just called DPE and they told me the offset is 32 in the front and 40 in the rear.

the lip on the front wheels is about 1.5 and the rear lip is about
2.5

these have been on my car for about 6 months.

please excuse the pics, im a HORRIBLE photographer, and it was raining when i took these pics so they are a bit dirty. i am SUPER careful with my car and these rims are in absolutely PERFRECT condition.

nice wheels... but i think its fair to say, damn... you need some meatier tires in the back there... 245 is just way too skinny for a 10" wheel...

If he did put wider tires it looks like he would rub, ESPECIALLY with people in the car.

i had 265s in the rear before i got these. i didnt rub AT ALL, NOT ONCE. these tires are a little bit stretched but they were recommended by DPE and EF1. they know INFINITELY MORE about rims and tires than i do so i went with their decision.

Did you ever drive the car on wider tires? j/k (it just looks like the tires would be very close to the fender if you put wider tires on it) I like the rims alot, but I already got my set for the summer.

yes i did actually. i would have kept the tires but i got a stupid bubble in the sidewall somehow so i had to change em out. otherwise i would have kept the wider tires.

They lied to you! Wider tires and if need be lower profile to give you constant rolling diameter.How can you have 2"/50mm difference between Front and Rear rims but only 0.4"/10mm diference in tire width?
