i decided to condense a few of the threads into 1 thread for the current wheel(s) i have decided to put up for sale. I have a lot of very rare wheels, and decided i need to lighten the load a little, so a few of the sets im ok to part with are up here
all are optioned to ship inside the lower 48, shipping at buyers expense..
the sets are:
14" volk magnesium
18" kinesis k58
16" bbs rs refurb
18" bbs rf refurb
16" bbs rs spare tire
details:
volk magnesium mesh:
I said I would never sell this set, but I am considering, so putting this up as a feeler. I have owned them for a few years, have done a very slow refurb on them one piece at a time (all by hand) with the hope that one day I would have a project that these could work on.
fast forward a few years.... still sitting on a shelf, just waiting to get some tires on them. Which is why I am considering putting these up for sale.
known to be one of the first wheels Volk made (before even being called volk racing), these are a set of the mesh wheels dating back to '76.
14x8 offset 20 all around.
5x114 (super rare and random) magnesium centers, 6061 lips and barrels. This set has not been driven on in some time, as the owner before me had them for 10 years approx, and never used them, ive owned them for at least 3, same thing applies
these have 2" bubble lips that I hand polished to a mirror finish, inner barrels that have been stripped and brushed, and the magnesium centers have been media blasted with a very fine baking soda, and then cleared. bolts were removed, disassembled, and my anodizer did a blackening (forgetting the name) which is a strong coating that is hardened onto the bolts. I also had measurements taken, and had a piece of aluminum thrown over a mold and pressed to make a center cap. had them coated in a medium grey, and they slide in from the back. they are 20ga, so they are super light caps.
these things are pretty damn cool, and super light. they weigh in total about 10 lbs. the centers were structurally tested about a year ago and passed without issues. and thats about all I can say about them. Very cool, super rare set that unfortunately I never got to use. The wheels do have a little pitting here and there, but nothing that wouldnt make these perfectly show-able.
If someone wants me to have these coated (can only use low temp powders on magnesium) or maybe shot in a booth, we can work out those details.. Anything is possible
At this point, I am looking for somewhere in the range of 2000 for the set. I am open to offers, but have no interest in talking to window shoppers, or people who plan on lowballing. am in no particular rush to sell these, so if you have the slightest thought that you can pull a fast one here and get them for a "steal", dont bother. These look cool on my shelf in the garage next to the trophies, so i dont really care if they stay up there for a little longer. Just thought I would give someone else the opportunity to run these on an mk1 or something cool. would love to see these on a rabbit or caddy
Will ship these within the lower 48, shouldnt cost much as these weigh in total about 40lbs for all 4 wheels..
if someone wants a little more info, spinFAB.net i did a blog post a few months ago on the set. take a look :beer:

2. kinesis k58
18x8.5 and 18x10 et40 kinesis k58 3 piece forged. 5x114.3 rare wheel, discontinued a few years ago. high pad front will clear bbk, original finish, lips are stripped and polished, wheels are clean overall. i was going to build a super crazy set with 5" and 6" lips, but decided not to. so they need to go. if someone needs larger lips, i can give forth a source for the parts...
all 4 wheels are in this shape. caps were a little yellowed, so i removed them and shot them in a matching color. the faces are flat hard anodized from the factory and are in great shape. no yellowing, no bs.
