Mounted and Balanced

*Says the TPS sensors will mount right up, his brother had these wheels on his Z
Free Shipping
--------------------------
Total= $1850

He said i could upgrade to Toyo tires for extra 300$, but the tread wear on the Hankooks is 278 so they should be just fine for me...
Just thought you guys might find this interesting.
Wouldn't the proper tire size to keep same overall diameter be 275/35/19 and 245/35/19?

WOW! Can you please tell me where you got these set for $1,500 shipped ???

I called 3 different places and the best quote I got was $1,865 which includes Dunlop Direzza DZ101 front 245/35/19 and rear 275/30/19 and Mcguard chrome lug nuts and valve stem, mount & balance and shipping.

What did your (guessing) $1,500 all include?

I actually picked the wheels up my self so i did not have to pay shipping, I got 4 wheels, 4 tires, 4 hubcentric rings, 4 chrome valve stems and lug nuts for ~$1500, but i was the first person to buy these wheels from them, so i believe they were giving me a special price...who knows, heh....either way, just shop around i'm sure you will be able to get close

I'm calling the distributor of RUFF Racing wheels on Monday and see if there's a local carrier who sells these rims in the Dallas area.

I got some very quick and solid responses from one of their dealers:

Jeff,

The weights on the 19" for the R278 and R279 are as follows. The front 19x8.5 approx. 26 lbs and the rear 19x9.5 approx. 27 lbs.

If you need any more information please feel free to contact me or Scott for technical assistance at 954-605-8524.

Thanks and have a great day!

Let me know what you find, I want to order these wheels pretty soon, but would like to check them out in person instead of having to order them from florida if at all possible...

They're in the 27 pound range. I posted the weights a couple of pages up. Not a bad weight for the price.

I have had my Ruffs for a year and they have been great. No cracking or peeling and you just can't beat the price for this custom look!!

Wow 19's (all season tires) cost alot lol. I guess I will have to stick with the 18's and just get 245/40/18 and 275/40/18.


If anyone has any more upclose picutes of these rims please post them. I cant find any other than the ones the good man from England posted.
