FOR SALE

Bronze Rays TE37's with MIchelin Pilot Sport Cups - great track wheel/tyre setup

Wheels

Size: 18x10 +18

Colour: Bronze

Condition: reasonable, a couple of the rims have slight rashing

Original: Yes

Year of manufacture: 2005

Tyres

Size: 265/35 R18

Condition: One Marulan track day (maybe about 4-5 sessions), including return trip there

Photos attached showing wheels, Rays sticker, tread depth and all that stuff....also pics of same size wheels fitted to an R34 GTR.

Wheels are located in the inner west of Sydney, and would prefer a local pick-up.

Looking for $3,800, which I think is fair given the cost of the tyres and the limited track time they've seen.

PM or SMS me on 0407778421

Cheers.

I believe Rays has increased their rims price by over 50%. Not sure if the price escalation has been passed through to suppliers but the same set of rims now would have cost more than 3.5k imported. I remembered paying around 51k Yen each for the rim in 2011 and they're now 82k Yen each on Ray's website. The dollar has gone up significantly by 20-25% which is good for offseting the price escalation, but still be not enough to cover 50%!

18x9.5 +22's are $3.3k delivered. Michelin pilot sport cups are about $2.5-3.0k. Combined is $5.8-6.3k.

So it's about 40% off at $3.5k. Plus the MyChron timer. Value!

Interesting!

I noticed yesterday Nick that there's a very nice Pearl Black R34 GTR being complied at JLM (JapLink Motors).

If you asked Todd to leave a Memo for the owner that your wheel/tyre combo is on offer, I think this deal would be tempting when you consider Bronze TE37s on a Pearl Black body!!!

Hi Terry

That lucky owner of the black R34 happens to be me! :rolleyes::yes::no: I'm crossing my fingers that compliance is all sorted before the June long weekend so i can take her on a nice romatic journey.

Nick, I got your message from JLM, unfortunately I can't commit to the wheels right at this moment as my first priority is a proper alarm system. If the wheels are still here in a month or two then I'll be all over it!

Cheers

Dave

No worries Dave. Let me know when you're in a position to think about it.

I got an autowatch alarm from Security in Motion. Leon was great and the system works well. Built in turbo timer too.

Ok Dave & Nick: I remember when I was on really tight budgets.

Congratulations Dave on a very lovely GTR!

I'm happy too that at least there's friendly dialogue :)

Thanks Terry, I have Iron Chef to thank for finding me a fantastic example :-)

Great info Nick, I've heard some great things about Sec In Motion, so will be calling Leon asap!

This is what SAU should be about, great dialogue, networking and community :no:

Just a reminder, these are original TE's and the tyres are Michelin Pilot Sport Cups!

Will swap for R34 GTR Haltech Platinum Pro, Flex Fuel Sensor and Injectors., or $3,300
