I'm sick of having big rims, and I want something smaller, not only so that my car doesn't get attention, but also because Yakima roads suck.

So if anyone has some nice 16" wheels with good tires, I might be interested in a trade. I'm kind of picky on rims though...I don't like seventh gen. Celica GT-S rims for example.

My setup is 17x7" Exel TZ-10 wheels with Yokohoma ES100 tires in front(about 2,000 miles on them) and Nankang NS1 tires in the rear(probably 60% life left on them.) The tires are all 215/40/17, and I might trade my extra pair of brand new Kumho Ecsta 215/40/17 tires as well.

My rims have slight cosmetic damage on the middle of a few of the spokes on one rim, but no curb damage or anything like that.

Here's a pic of the damaged rim...as you can see, the damage is hardly noticable...I can get better pics when the wind stops blowing 50+ MPH if anyone is interested.

That picture was taken with my Olympus C4000Z...I don't remember if I was using filters or lenses for that shot though.

Edit: You can't like that pic though...the car is dirty, the underbody plastic panel is hanging down because I forgot that bolt, plus the little tiny brakes look funny. tongue.gif

Well, I may be interested in them. Can you get me pics of all the damage on all four rims? And what kind/size tires are on the rims?
