20" Axis Matrix *Rose Gold* w/ tires & 18" Michelin tires
Preface : I posted the Axis wheel and tire combo a few months ago. I had some trouble with my apparent ID sheet to signify that I am who I purport to be. I believe I have that corrected now vis- a- vis Mike W.
F/S: 20" Axis Matrix- Rose Gold lip wheels w/ Nitto NT555 tires
Front: 20x9" and Rear: 20x10.5" staggered setup
Tires: 245/35/20 front and 275/35/20 rear
History: I have had the Axis Matrix 20" wheel set for approximately 2 years. I drove my car about twice a week during that time. I noticed a humming noise, as many Z owners do, coming from the rear one day and realized the negative camber issue seemed to be the cause. My car is positioned on a Nismo S-tune suspension of springs/struts. Unfortunately for me, the rear tires had been worn down to the steel on the inner side which faces the suspension. As such, the seller is selling the set as-is and no warranty is expressed. The rear tires are still holding air perfectly fine despite the issue with the bead but it would be against all prudence to drive on them as they are. I would recommend replacing them immediately.
The front tires, however, are in very good condition. As you can see from the attached images, they are nearly new with very light use. They were used the same length of time as the rear ones but have sustained the periodic use much better. The front set should be able to driven on immediately with no issue. However, they again, are sold as-is and without warranty of any kind. The seller bears no vicarious liability.
The 20" Axis Matrix wheels are in superb shape. The color combination is hard to find but I will stop short of saying that it is rare. The center of each wheel is a satin black coloring and the lip of each wheel is phased in the color of rose gold. The design of the wheel is a perfect offset for the Z and the width of the wheels make them nearly flush with the body lines of the fenders. I had only one run-in with a curb when I had the set mounted on the Z. Therefore, one of the front wheels has a slight "shave" type mark on the lip. The mark is very discrete and only the very discerning buyer need to be concerned.
I have taken meticulous care of the setup when it comes to detail despite any of the blemishes mentioned above. I believe the photos will justify this as well. I am not in a serious rush to get rid of this wheel and tire setup. I paid quite a bit for all of it and am not going to take a significant loss. However, I am open to offers and would prefer a local buyer in the central Florida area if possible.
Photos:
Price: $1300 for everything shipped. The wheels/tires do not come with lugs. The price is more negotiable for local buyers.
2nd Item: 4- Michelin 18" Porsche Sport Cup tires- R compound
History: I purchased the tire set from another member. These tires are virtually impossible to find. They are slightly softer than most autocross series tires and the tread depth new is only 6/32". It is now the summer and in Florida that means a lot of heavy rain. My car is not used to autocross so I have no use for this set. I have kept them stored in my garage for about 3 months and they have not been mounted by me. They are only slightly used as I was told they were taken to the track for a test and used one time.
Caveat: The tires do not come with any warranty and are sold as-is. The seller will not be responsible for any malfunction and is released from any and all liability which may exist now or at any point in the future.
Size: Front - 245/40/18 // Rear: 275/40/18

I had just cleaned them of some dust before the photos were taken. The water is not included in the sale.
Price: $400 shipped OBO

I'll need to get back to you on the exact age of the tires cyc5181. I'll need to look at the dot number in the sidewall. I've only owned them a couple months.
For you go7, the low price of $19.95 but must be picked up so I can kick you in the *** for asking.
