My wheels and tires up for sale (F14s)

Since my new wheels should be here the middle of next week, I thought I would post my current wheels up for sale. The specs are 18" Forgestar F14s, 8.5 in the front and 9.5 in the rear. The tires are 215/40/18 front and 285/30/18 rears. Tires have about 5k or so on them I believe (Im going to check the mileage). These wheels are super light, under 20 lbs all around. Im looking to get $1,400 plus shipping.

215 in the front ? how does that work out ? that's a huge difference from front and rear and from the stock itself.

Wanted to keep the diameter of the tires the same. So when running a 285/30 tire in the rear the 215/40 matched the best. If you dont keep these diameters within 2% of each other, you can run into issues with the tcu freaking out.

What are the front width on these? I hit a fing ditch in the city and bent mine up.if I can fit a stock tire on the fronts and you want to part just the fronts I would buy em.

I'd have to paint them too so this might not be the best options for both of us.

These are a solid setup if anyone is on the fence on buying them

What is the weight difference in these to ours wheels and how much of a difference is it really for weight reasons? Anyone have a real grip on that answer? Thanks

Stock wheels are about 26 lbs front and 27 rear. These wheels are 19 front and 20 rear.

Can you please confirm the sizes (widths) ? I thought most were running 9" front and 10" rears. Thanks

If I would have seen his before I got mine, I would have been ALL OVER them! How have these not sold?? I paid more than twice as much for mine (18's 8.5in F 10in R with V12 evos on all corners), without mounting and balancing like these already are... This is a steal! Not even a hint of any sort of curb rash, pitting, fading, anything! GLWS!

Thanks brotha. These are absolutely mint. No rash scratches or anything. Might throw them on eBay I guess.

Just an update.. They are indeed 8.5 front and 9.5 rear. Im going to take the tires off, so anyone interested in just the wheels let me know.. Im looking to get $1,200 plus shipping for just the wheels. My understanding is they are around $1,400 new plus shipping, so this seems like a reasonable asking price.
