OMG Internet!
Default Wheels/HF Catted Mid-Pipe FS

For Sale Again (or trade for dark colored, low weight 8 inch wide wheels)


Updates in red.

Up first, six Enkei RP02's, 2 with Falken Azenis RT-615's and 4 with Bridgestone Potenza RE01R's

Wheels are 17X7.5, ET48, 15.5lb according to Edge Racing (never weighed them myself, but that's light compared to Rota's, etc. in the same size). They're in great condition. I just cleaned them up and the only scuffs are on the inside edge (all my rims get scratched there for some reason). But you can't see the inside edge when they're mounted up. They'll look brand new on your car. I'm actually very impressed with the paint on these wheels. They look nice and shiny after a quick cleanup.

Update: they have some paint chips here and there now. I am uploading new pics including the worst of the paint damage (scroll down). They still look perfect from 10 feet away though. No curbings and they all run true at high speed.

They're silver and look like this:



They even have that same center cap. I never applied the "Enkei" sticker but I have 8 of them and they are included . I'm also including 20 lug nuts, 6 hubcentric rings, 6 allen wrenches (for the center caps) and 8 fancy metal valve stems and caps that came with them. I never used the lugs or valve stems so they're in new condition. All of these accessories were a bit of a surprise when I got them from Edge Racing with the rims.

RT615's have about 20% tread left (just about to the wear bars). They'd work just fine in the Summer but don't even try them in the rain/snow. They have a couple seasons of AutoX on them so they certainly don't have their original stickiness, but they're still better than any all-season tire in the dry.

RE01R's have one season of autocross and a PDX at RFR. They've got about 35-40% left I'd say. The nice thing about these tires is they don't lose performance due to being heat cycled like the 615's do. And they're all wearing perfectly even so they've got another season of autox left in them I'd say.

Having 6 is actually really nice in case you hit a curb or something or you can do what I did and rotate between all 6 and really make 6 tires last a long time. That way you always have 2 full size spares that are even the right tread depth. I always carried a full size spare when running these. All tires are 225/45/17. These will rub on most stock wagons. I haven't had to roll my fenders though...yet.

Here's a pic of them on my car:



I'm not interested in selling them for less than $1000 (price went up due to the RE01R's being mounted now. They're the best tires ever...and they don't lose their stick like the 615's)

Here are some pics I took today after washing them up.






























Next up is a Crucial Racing high flow catted midpipe. This will replace the midpipe on a MY02-05 WRX, MY04-06 WRX STi, Forester XT, and Saab 9-2x. You'd want one of these if you're running a shorty DP like the Crucial DP I run.

I purchased it new and installed it about 18 months ago but it really didn't add much power to my car. I think at my power level (210 WHP), the stock 3rd cat really wasn't a restriction. It's a really nice piece though, full 3" at both ends.

It looks like this:



Pics and Info

In order to mate it to the Borla Huch CBE I run, I bought this 3" flat flange adapter. The fitment is superb.

I'm asking $300 OBO for the midpipe and $50 for the flange adapter.

Thanks for looking.
