Hey Guys,
We are making some changes in my set up and I'm selling my front skinnies and 17" rears. Both have tires mounted and ready to race. This is the set up I was running when I ran the 10.41 in Maryland a couple of weeks ago.
The fronts are HRE C97 Competition series 18 x 5" with M/T Sportsman S/R 26X6.00R18LT. They have plenty of tread left on them. You can drive it anywhere with these because they are street tires. The fronts only weigh 35# each which is about 20# less than the stock wheels and tires. I don't remember exactly what the stock weighs but maybe someone can chime in. They alone knocked off about 1-1.5 tenths off the 1/4 mile times.
The rears are Forgeline SP3 17 x 9.5 in satin black with the titanium bolt package. They have Hoosier drag radials (275-40 x 17) on them that are still ready to run. The rears only weigh 41# each which again is about 15# less than the stock wheels.
I am asking $3,500 firm plus shipping for all four wheels with tires. The front HRE's are one offs that were made custom and the HRE's alone with the tires cost that much so you are getting the rears for free.
I will ship them anywhere in the US. First come first serve. I would like to sell them all as a package because they match and were made for that reason but if you want just the fronts or rears let me know and lets see if any of you want to break them up. Here's a couple of pics:

None of them are perfect but they are in very good condition. If you want perfection you can have them all freshly powder coated and then you would have a new set but they are excellent for a drag set of wheels.
I have multiple sets of wheels and these are extras so they need to go. Bad for me but good for someone else.

What price are you refering to?
I am offering the rears for $1500 shipped. Thats 50% off original investment.
The fronts are taken care of.
Thank you,
Keith

I take it these won't fit an E-Class 

I am pretty sure they will fit an E63.
Let me know what the backspacing is on your stock wheels and what the fatherest point is from the center. I can't imagine the brakes are bigger on the "E".

Its a tough economy out there and I need to make these disappear. I don't really have time to mess with these tires/wheels anymore. How about the first $1000 takes the rear Forgelines with the Hoosier drag radials?? Please let me know if you are interested.
Thanks and have a good weekend!

Two questions:
Do the Hoosiers use tubes, and the front skinnies are absolutly not available any longer, correct?

The Hoosiers are tubeless.
I decided to keep the front skinnies to run the mile with, sorry.
I know you can get similar wheels from CCW for half the price. You may be able to get Forgeline to make some front skinnies to match the rear.
Thank you for your interest and please let me know if you have any other questions.

whats the offsets for the rears and are the lugbolt holes 14mm or 12mm?
I apologize guys but these have sold. Have a great day!!
I've decided to sell the front skinnies. I've been holding them for another mile run but I'm not sure when or if that will ever happen. I'll take $1500 shipped for the two front skinnies and tires. Thats half what I paid for them and they are in very good shape.
Someone buy these! It's Dad's C63 for crying out loud!

Good luck with the sale good sir!
