FS: 18" Rota Torques

Asking Price:

None

Item Interest

Selling my set of Rota Torques, the infamous Work Emotion Kai CR reps. The rims are in perfect condition with no curb rashes whatsoever. The problem is that i hit a pothole a few weeks back and developed a SLIGHT crack on the inner barrel of the rear. The crack is very tiny (as seen below in the pics) and can be easily fixed by a capable tire shop. I got 2 quotes to get it fixed and they both gave me the price range of $125-$160 to get it fixed as if they were brand new. You could also easily order 1 new rear online for under $200 and have a perfect set of wheels again.

The reason for the sale is im looking for a change. I've been wanting new wheels for a while, and this happening was just the push i needed. My loss is your gain.

I've gotten tons of compliments on these wheels and they are quite light. These are also the perfect offset for the e90/e92, and the rear is super concave giving it a very aggressive look.

These wheels retail for $700 i believe. Im looking for $250 obo. Local pickup in Rowland Heights, 91748.

Specs and info below.

Finish: Hyper Silver

Wheels: 18x8.5 +30
18x9.5 +30

Weight: IIRC, they are around 20-22lbs.

Tires: No tires

TPMS: No TPMS.

Includes a set of blank, colormatched caps.

The crack on the rear

Absolutely. The other 3 are in perfect condition, with no blemishes whatsoever. While the other 1 looks perfect with no blemishes as well, but it just has the slight crack in the inner barrel.

If you buy a new rear, or get it fixed, you are basically getting a new set of 18" wheels for under $500!

Excellent track wheels!

Bluesummer · 11-25-2008, 01:13 PM

op is stupid enough for setting up this price, whoever doesnt consider buying this set should officially be announced the most retarded person on this forum.

vegasspeed · 11-25-2008, 04:05 PM

Actually, this isn't that stupid. The price of 6 wheels new is 600 bucks so how is that so crazy?

where can i get 6 18" rota torques for my bmw for $600?

LOLrance · 11-25-2008, 06:20 PM

just checked wheeldude site to make sure I'm not crazy. But it is $800 for a set of non staggered 18x8.5. I'm selling staggered so assume 850 a set new. Even if we assume 800 for the set that's still 200 a wheel. I'm selling 3 brand new condition wheels and 1 that looks brand new but with a crack (that is fixable or you can just replace)

I think my asking price is pretty fair.
