Toyo FZ4s are crap though. And after 2 summer they should be near dead.

Default Everyone repeat after me "used tires are worth nothing"...

Seriously,

$130 x 4 for the wheels = $520
$120 x 4 for FZ4s = $480

=$1000 new.... lower the price to a more realistic $500 and you may have some takers.

They make some good tires. The FZ4s are equal to a Dunlop SP5k, or a Nitto NT 450. Toyo makes some great performance tires like the TS-1 that rivals the SP9000s and other top of the line performance tires and their DOT track tires are good, but Hoosier and Kumho have them beat by miles.

Default Hey, everyone, calm down and make me an offer...

I paid $1,400 new for the tire and wheel set two a while back. I was not sure what to ask for them now, so I figured I would start at around $900. The wheels are in immaculate condition, with only a couple of minor scratches, but they have never even come close to a curb. Yes, two of the tires show some visible wear, but the other two are in pretty good shape.

Anyway, if you are interested, we can talk dollars. Sorry if my first price offended everyone so much.

BY THE WAY: If anyone is interested, I have the original exaust section from my car, just in front of the muffler to the rear of the car. I also have the original air intake and box as well. If anyone is interested in these, make me an offer. I sold the car, so they are of no use to me.
