auction for enkei wheels

Post by bikeman1 »

I just bought a set of 2007 16" enkei OR-52 wheels from a local party in my area - he has an identical second set and has just listed them too, to get some garage spacehttp://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors...03573They are 16x7, silver clearcoat with a chrome lip. Really nice, include center cap rings still in the wrappers, never used. used but in very good condition (2 years old -- he used them on weekend stock track). He is doing a brake mod to a larger pad and had to get a wheelset without clearance issues (the Enkei wheel is recessed on the outer edge). I saw the bid on ebay and got them with local pickup, which he will do. Had to bid but got a very reasonable price esp with no shipping.....will put them on by wife's 2007 vibe (5x100) this spring. Will put up better photos when I do. Disclaimer: this is not my own sale and am not getting a commission or anything, nor did he ask me to list this. Just thought members in the Pittsburgh area might benefit if they are looking for a snazzy set of 16" wheels. The seller is in Morgantown WV. Bid closes Feb 13

Seems like I am always late to the table. They look nice and that was a good deal.

yeah, both sets ended up going for the same price ($50 a wheel). Picking them up local was helpful. I am having a little trouble with the hubs -- the manufacturers size (72.6 mm) rings are a little sloppy in there , not good -- but I tried the next size up (73) and they are too big. wonder if the hubs are belled out, like maybe he hadn't used rings the first time -- he had plastic-coated rings on for his unit using the next larger size and squashed them in with a 2x4 or something, you can see they have been wedged in. Other than that the wheels are in gorgeous shape...I'll set the regular size in with epoxy or something.never know what you'll get into with ebay
