Has anyone ever had these wheels? I'm looking at a set of 17" wheels with falken tires with less than 500miles. Trying to figure out a good price, also no center caps =(

Seen them on a few EP's back in the day, but personally I always thought they looked a little too "outdated" for the crisp lines of our EP's. My old gf had a set of 17's on her POS Saturn lol for a few years, and they ended up sitting in my basement for like 2-3 years after that until I sold them last year. They were kinda hard to get rid of, think I finally just sold them for like $200, with an extra set of tires thrown in... and all 4 center caps! :mbiggrin:
Never even considered putting them on the EP, too big/ not my style... :mredface:
Of course if the price is right and YOU like them, then go for it... fwiw, I do remember buying some replacement center caps direct from Konig too when one went missing...

Ok, those look pretty good actually... much better in white than silver on your car. :mwink: Not bad at all if you managed to pick them up on the cheap, then painted them yourself.
Any plans for a type r replica/ HFP style wing? Would set your car off nicely (especially since it's most of the way there already i.e. front/ sides)...

yeah I think it turned out pretty good...ended up getting them for $500 with brand new tires so I think I made out pretty decent.

most definitely will be doing a wing in the near future...kinda waiting for a deal to come along/have the money at the same time haha

500 isn't bad.
Those tires new would probably cost you about $300+40 for mount and balance.
And the wheels about $200-300 on the used market.

You definitely should finish that rear end.
