FS: 18" Ruff 278 with TPMS

Trying to keep this local to DFW for now. Up for sale are 18" Ruff 278's. These include TPMS, but you will need to stop by your Nissan/Infiniti dealer to get them reset to your car.

Wheels are in pretty good condition. I've put a coat of Zoopseal on the lip about a year ago and seems to be holding up pretty well. Just don't use a strong wheel cleaner.

Tires are another story. They are pretty much done. I've already swapped the fronts left to right once for camber wear. Rear tires are pretty much done too. In all they still have maybe a couple of hundred miles left. Enough to get you where you are going to get new tires.

Here are the wheels on the car. And they are off the car ready to go.

Asking $450, local pick up only.

Again, the tires are pretty much done.

Fronts are 18x8.5 +20, rears are 18x9.5 +20.

Fronts tires have a bit of camber wear. 245-40-18 BFGoodrich KDW.

The rears are really low. 275-35-18 BFGoodrich KDW2. Advise to get some new tires for these.

No problems with VDC coming on with these sizes.

If you could get me the weights of the wheels, I may be interested!

Wow, that is a steal of a deal!!! I would love to pick these up for a set of track wheels!!! But alas, I am a poor software engineer trying to make it big as a real estate entrepreneur

Good luck on the sale ... if you don't get them sold, make sure you hit me up before you go public with these! (i.e. outside of DFW)

Where did you get those Infiniti center caps? Are they for sale?

Thanks!

That sounds about right. These things are definitely a lot heavier than my RPF1's. Probably not that great for the track. I'll try to put them on the scale tonight, we can calculate the weight minus the tire weight (which is listed on tirerack I think) and get the exact weight.

This sale will have the Ruff Racing caps (sorry I should have posted a different picture). I didn't think anybody would want those other ones. I actually got a generic Rota center cap then put some carbon fiber on the center, and put a vinyl logo on it. I cleared the center, but the clear is coming off. Here is the closest picture I have of it (picture taken by Robzone). One of the caps has a dent in it too. Maybe I'll put another sale thread on it if someone really wants them.

If they fit the 19" R278's I might buy them from you.

I put them on the scale. Front was 50.4lbs, rim+tire and the rear was 52.6lbs, rim+tire.

I looked at the tire weights for KDW's.

245-40-18 = 27lbs
275-35-18 = 28lbs

Therefore the rim weights are:

The front is 50.4-27 = 23.4lbs
The rear is 52.6-28 = 24.6lbs
