as the title says, i am selling my winter wheel/tire setup from my 06 sti. the rotas are immaculate. no curb rash, never hit a pothole or damaged them in any way whatsoever. the blizzaks are stock 06 sti size of 225/45/R17 and have no damage. they're H rated and have approximately 3000 miles (1 winter's worth of driving) on them. they come with gold mcgard spline drive tuner lugnuts and key. i'm asking $750 obo for everything.
reason for selling - i sold the sti
no, i will not sell the tires or wheels separately.
i'm in springfield, va and definitely prefer a pickup. i can drive locally to meet you somewhere as well. pm if interested.

Wha- wha-
WHAT?!?!
Perhaps this should be in another thread so as not to hijack the sale, but what'd you get instead and why?
Oh, and those winter wheels are immaculate. I know. I've seen 'em. GLWS!

Bump for a sweet deal!

Dittos. I was just thinking about these yesterday when my dad was asking about winter tires. But the wheels won't fit.

Consider it passed on to a new owner of an 08 who is moving to Philly in Dec.

Chick at work who just bought herself an 08 STI. Apparently hubby is some hotshot autocross type who has a WRX ("We were supposed to go on a
cruise to italy but that coincided with
nationals in
kansas, so
that got cancelled...."), but she very much asserts it's hers. Despite her repeated insistence that she doesn't see herself ever tracking the car at e.g., Redline or getting above triple digits, period.
It's an okay looking car, I suppose. She got the dark grey one. It doesn't do much for me, but then, I haven't been driving the STI much, and even the other guy at the office with an STI is driving an Accord these days (12 vs 30mpg, and a commute from Frederick to Arlington), so who am I to judge.
Anyhow, just passed it on, but it is a pretty durned good deal, and she was
just asking about Blizzaks.
