I hope i dont get flamed for posting this question here but here it goes:

i want to sell these OEM 18'' wheels without tires.
They dont have any curb rash or chips or anything, in good condition. Only downfall is they need to be refinished (repainted). how much should i ask for?

I'm planning to put my OEM 19's back on. My tire sizes are 225/40/19 fronts and 245/40/19 rear. My front camber is -2 while my rear is -1. My car is lowered till 1 finger gap... What size spacers do you guys think i should use for front and rear?

I have a question about some wheels I am looking into for my winter tires.
They are PIAA FR-S Wheels, 5x114.3, +45 Offset, 18x8.5/18x9.5.
Now coming from the stock wheels, 18x8 and 30 offset, using the offset calculators, I am getting that these would be a few cms closer to the strut and would overall fit.

I was just wondering if my thinking is correct, that these would work overall for my winter tires, 225/40/18, 255/40/18 so that I can have a dedicated set of wheels for them.

My stretched tires don't hold air. 245/35/19 General tires on a 10.5 wheel. After getting them mounted I drive off and after 15-20 minutes of driving I notice a hiss from the rear wheels. By the time I get to a gas station one is already flat and the other is still slowly leaking. What could be the cause and how can I fix it?

Did you check the valve stem? I had a similar issue with the valve stem on one of my wheels not being completely tightened down. Or it could be an effed up gasket on the stem as well.

It's not the valve stem, it seems to be leaking from the bead on the front side of the lip. As if the bead didn't seal well. I filled it up with air and went home, next day i drove again and it leaked again. So I filled it up with more air today and so far it's holding up.

I read somewhere that you'd need a 15mm or 20mm spacer. But don't quote me on it though. There is a template you can download and print out and use it to measure how much clearance you need for whatever BBK you have. I just don't remember where that template is.
