    I have no idea what they are worth but I wish this would have been for sale three weeks ago.

    Dang'it! I was thinking less than a week-ago TS!

    But I am happy with my new found 15x8's.

    Ok, no more free parts for you my idol Penguin! J/K

    I love them. But I know what I want to do to an OE Wantanabe set will piss the forum off. Noir wants Noir. so the centers would be black.

    Do you have any wants in your wheel selections as of now. Or do you have a dream that AO's and Randy's head explodes when something is done to a set of Wats?

    PM me if you see a bonus round for you! LOL

    Peace

    Are they rebarelled? I have a set of 15x7 et27 which I got for 450GBP, but these are much more common in UK than in US. Plus the usual size is 15x6.5 in 4x100, my set was the only 15x7 I have seen for sale the past 2 years in Europe

    I'm 99% certain that some RS8's came with black centers...

    @SpeedyPenquin - I think they are worth $10 each. I can send you a check!

    @Tsingson - These would look great on your silver Miata!

    @NCG - I was thinking the same thing. If you painted the inner hub to match the body color of any Miata (except silver) that would look awesome!
    Edit: Searching google images I found that body color centers did not look as good as I thought. However, black centers always look good!

    @anyone - How much do these weigh?

    I've read 5.1kg (11.24lbs) on the 14's (which is what I have, but neglected to weigh prior to mounting tires).

    They're light, for sure. The spokes are hollow and there's not a lot of extra material anywhere to be found.

    The fitment is rare in the USA. I'd price them @ $400 a wheel.
