Look what I got for $750

mdkxtreme · 11-07-2009, 12:53 AM

Searched eBay and this dealership (legit) is selling a set of Mugen GP wheel kit. Includes everything, including lug nuts, that the Stimdonkulous package offers. Since shipping was 130, I decided to drive to Vegas and picked these up from Orange County. Since 55 dollars of gas was needed to get these wheels, I didn't want to pay for shipping. Any ways, these guys only have six left since I bought one off their hands and not through eBay. I am not affiliated with them. It's just these guys were very nice to me with the sale. One of them tried to charge me tax but another guy wiped it off. These guys are located in Las Vegas. Here is the eBay link.

Oh and here are the pictures. I'm not mounting these soon because my OEM tires are still in good condition and I don't want to throw them away.

I've seen those on CL as well in NY. They are really nice wheels. Nice pickup.

You could always have your tires taken off your wheels and remounted on your new ones. You don't have to wait till you need new tires to get those wheels put on.

mdkxtreme · 11-07-2009, 3:03 AM

But my tires are 17's

mdkxtreme · 11-07-2009, 3:05 AM

haha, I dont think ill ever sell these. I've always believed and yearned for less mass rotation mods (lightweight wheels, flywheel, and pullies) as they give you such great acceleration off the line and gives you better mpg's. Before, I couldnt do those mods because of the wheels. Having lightweight forged wheels were so expensive I just gave up on it. Now that I got them, my dream can come true. Im getting the pullies next and then onto flywheel.

Oh but if you still want in on the deal (more expensive), go to this ebay link:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Honda...ht_1126wt_1165

it's going for 999 shipped. This is still a pretty damn good deal because the original stimdonkulous deal on 8thcivic was 880 shipped. This is just 120 more.

xjohnkdoex · 11-09-2009, 11:46 AM

nice pickup. i actually saw those on ebay last week and thought they were charging $750 per wheel. haha. you win!

Audioserf · 11-09-2009, 12:00 PM

I love the Mugen GP's in gunmetal. Nice acquisition.

808havok_tsx · 11-09-2009, 11:04 PM

me want!!! argh!!!

my current plan was to pay off the car in a few months (lump sum payment) and use the money i would've made monthly payments on for the few months afterward to upgrade suspension and wheel/tire... argh!!!

7.5

Spec is 18x7.5 48 offset. It's what I always wanted because I don't like wheels that stick out to the fenders and I don't like wide wheels either

popdakebin · 11-10-2009, 12:41 PM

These are awesome. I saw it on slickdeals too, but it was originally posted on some other forum (rsx or civic forum). I wanted to pick them up too! They used to cost like $1000 per wheel.
