4 17x7.5 Lightstar Gunmetal grey rims with Falken Azenis ST115 (Lugs and spline, too) - Subaru Enthusiasts Car Club of the Sierras

I know I originally put these in my Everything for sale thread, but since I found I considerably screwed up the description and now have pictures, I'm putting it in its own thread.

These are 4 gunmetal grey Lightstar rims. I've always gotten a ton of great complements for them, and they weigh about the same as the stock 16" WRX rims. Falken Azenis ST115 tires are mounted on the rims, and they have roughly 10,000 to maybe 15,000 miles on them. The rims have about 25,000 miles on them.

This is where it gets interesting. 3 of the tires have plenty of tread left and the treadwear looks great. It looks like you could go at least 10,000 miles or more on them. One of the tires wore badly (bad alignment at the time) and is nearly bald on the inside edge. What I would do (and plan to do if I keep these rims) is to buy another ST115 tire and have it shaved to match the other 3. I did find 2 used ST115s on ebay with 4/32 tread depth (maybe slightly less than my tires... dunno) for $120 shipped.

So no one is interested in these rims+tires for $500? For any price? I do have to sell these or my stockers with brand new Khumo ASXs in the next week. I can't take both back with me.

I'm throwing in more than enough spline lugs with at least one spline drive (might have 2).

If they were 17x9+43 5x114.3, cleared StopTech brakes, and had race rubber on them, I'd be all over them.
