Konig Wheels (15x7) & Toyo Proxes 4 Tires (205/55 & 50 R15v) Used For 600 Miles! on 2040-parts.com
North Kingstown, Rhode Island, US
HERE I AM OFFERING A SET OF EVER-SO-LIGHTLY USED KONIG "REWIND" WHEELS WITH TOYO PROXES 4 TIRES PROFESSIONALLY MOUNTED AND HIGH SPEED BALANCED.
FIRST, PLEASE ALLOW ME TO GIVE YOU THE BACKGROUND ON THIS BEAUTIFUL SET OF WHEELS & TIRES.
THE WHEELS WERE PURCHASED FROM "MOTORSPORT AUTO" ON 04/19/2011 AS THE CAR THESE WERE BEING SPECIFICALLY ORDERED FOR WAS NEARING THE END OF IT'S FULL PROFESSIONAL RESTORATION. THIS CAR WAS/IS A 1971 RED DATSUN 240Z (WHICH I WILL HAVE THE HONOR LISTING VERY SHORTLY).
ON 03/06/2012 THESE WHEELS WERE MATCHED WITH 4 NEW TOYO PROXES 4 TIRES (DIFFERENT SIZES FOR THE FRONT AND REAR). ON 6/15/2012 THESE WHEELS/TIRES WERE FIRST PLACED ON THE DATSUN 240Z AS IT WAS FINALLY FINISHED WITH IT'S TOTAL GROUND UP RESTORATION.
AFTER LOOKING AT ALL OF THE WORK AND MONEY THAT WENT INTO KEEPING THIS DATSUN 240Z AS ORIGINAL AS POSSIBLE .... A DECISION WAS MADE, FAIRLY QUICKLY I MIGHT ADD, THAT THE ORIGINAL WHEELS WOULD BE BETTER SUITED FOR THIS FULLY RESTORED 240Z. SO OVER THE WINTER OF 2012, A SET OF ORIGINAL WHEELS WITH FACTORY HUB CAPS WERE ACQUIRED AND PLACED ON THIS 240Z. THUS RENDERING THIS BEAUTIFUL SET OF KONIG WHEELS AND TOYO TIRES NO LONGER NEEDED!
I WOULD SAY... VERY CONSERVATIVELY MIND YOU, THAT THESE TIRES AND WHEELS HAVE LESS THEN 600 MILES ON THEM.
NONE OF THESE WHEELS HAVE ANY CURB~RASH, MARKS OR ISSUES. IN FACT, THESE HAVE NEVER EVEN SEEN THE RAIN! THE DATSUN 240Z THESE SO BRIEFLY WERE MATCHED WITH WAS GARAGED IN A HEATED BASEMENT AND IN FACT, STILL IS! THE RUBBER IS AS NEW AND IS BEING OFFERED AS SUCH. ALL OF THE WHEELS HAVE BEEN HIGH SPEED BALANCED AND SHOULD STILL BE PERFECTLY BALANCED.
I JUST GOT OFF THE PHONE WITH THE SALESMAN FROM "MOTORSPORT AUTO" AND HERE'S WHAT HE HAD TO SAY ABOUT THESE WHEELS.....
THIS IS THEIR MODEL/ITEM NUMBER 251065 AND KONIG MODEL/ITEM NUMBER RW 75114OOS. IT IS A KONIG ALUMINUM ONE-PIECE WHEEL IN SILVER. THE MODEL/STYLE IS KNOWN AS "REWIND" AND THESE ARE ALL AT 15 X 7 INCHES. WITH THIS OFFER YOU WILL BE RECEIVING NOT ONLY THE WHEELS AND TIRES, BUT, ALSO THE CENTER CAPS WITH THE INFAMOUS "Z" LOGO ON THEM. NO LUG NUTS WILL BE ACCOMPANYING THIS OFFER AS THESE WERE USED WITH/FOR ANOTHER PROJECT. THE CORRECT LUG NUTS WOULD BE 12MM X 1.25 AND ARE CLOSED (OR CAPPED) AND CHROMED.
THESE WHEELS ARE MADE SPECIFICALLY FOR THE DATSUN "Z" MODELS AND HAVE A BOLT PATTERN OF 4 X 114.3 WITH A ZERO (0) OFFSET. THEY ARE MADE FROM A SINGLE (ONE) PIECE CONSTRUCTION AND ARE CASTED FROM ALUMINUM. THESE HAVE A TWO (2) TONE FINISH OF POLISHED CHROME AND SATIN GREY. PLEASE REFER TO MY PICTURES FOR A BETTER UNDERSTANDING OF THIS COLOR/FINISH SCHEME.
AS YOU CAN SEE FROM THE PICTURED PAPERWORK, THIS SET COST IN EXCESS OF $1,200.00 AND HAS ONLY GONE UP IN PRICE SINCE ACQUIRING THESE NEW IN 2011.
I WILL DO SOMETHING THAT I RARELY DO AND THAT IS TO LIST THESE IN A BIDDING FORMAT. THE MINIMUM STARTING PRICE IS THE LEAST THAT I WILL ACCEPT FOR THESE WHEELS & TIRES. IF YOU LOOK THROUGHOUT EBAY AT CLASSIC AND RESTORED DATSUN'S 240 AND 260 Z'S YOU WILL SEE THAT A LOT OF THESE CARS DO SPORT/HAVE THESE WHEELS. THIS IS WHY THEY WERE FIRST PURCHASED FOR THEM AS WHEN WE VISITED SOME SHOWS ACROSS THE COUNTRY, THESE SEEMED TO POP-UP EVERYWHERE!
DATSUN AUTOMOBILES ARE NOT MY NORMAL AREA OF EXPERTISE. I CONCENTRATE ON PORSCHE, BENTLEY AND AUDI VEHICLES AND ACCESSORIES. THIS VEHICLE IS AN EXCEPTION TO MY NORMAL AREA OF COMFORT/KNOWLEDGE. ACCORDINGLY, I WILL TRY TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTIONS TO THE BEST OF MY ABILITY. IF FOR SOME REASON, I AM STUMPED BY YOUR QUESTION, I WILL RESORT TO MY RESIDENT EXPERT AND WILL HAVE TO GET BACK TO YOU WITH AN ANSWER.
AS I MENTIONED ABOVE, SOON I WILL BE LISTING THIS BEAUTIFUL AND FULLY RESTORED DATSUN 240Z IN THE NEAR FUTURE. BUT, UNTIL THAT TIME, THESE WHEELS AND TIRES WILL HAVE TO DO!
THESE WHEELS/TIRES WILL BE WELL PACKAGED AND BOXED. CHANCES ARE THEY WILL BE PLACED INTO A BENTLEY 21 INCH WHEEL CONTAINER (TIMES 4). AS SUCH AN EXTRA DAY WILL BE NEEDED TO PROVIDE YOU WITH THE BEST PACKAGING OPTION. THIS I WILL NOT DO, UNTIL THE SALE IS MADE AS IT WOULD BE WASTED TIME AND EFFORT IF ANY ADDITIONAL PICTURES ARE REQUESTED AND THE PACKAGING OPENED UP! PICK-UP WOULD ALSO BE WELCOMED AND PREFERRED AS THIS WAY, YOU WOULD SEE FIRST HAND THE QUALITY OF THESE WHEELS AND TIRES ... NOT TO MENTION TO SAVE YOU SOME GOOD MONEY ON UPS SHIPPING FEES TOO!
IT IS POSSIBLE TO HAVE TWO OF THESE TIRES/WHEELS STRAPPED TOGETHER (FACING EACH OTHER) AS THE RUBBER ITSELF WOULD OFFER AMPLE PROTECTION FROM SHIPPING ISSUES. THIS IS AN OPTION AND WE WILL HAVE TO WAIT TO SEE WHICH METHOD IS BETTER/POSSIBLE.
THESE WILL NOT BE OFFERED TO SHIPPING OUTSIDE OF THE CONTINENTAL U.S.A. THE POSTAGE AND CHANCE OF DAMAGE IS FAR TOO GREAT FOR MY LIKING. IF ANY INTERNATIONAL BUYER HAS AN ISSUE WITH THIS, FEEL FREE TO CONTACT ME AND SOME SORT OF ARRANGEMENT MIGHT BE WORKED OUT.
I WILL ASK YOU TO TAKE A GOOD LOOK AT MY PICTURES, AS THESE DO BECOME AN IMPORTANT AND KEY PART OF THE DESCRIPTION. IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OR WOULD LIKE TO SEE SOME ADDITIONAL PICTURES OR PICTURES OF ANY SPECIFIC SECTION/AREA, PLEASE DO NOT HESITATE TO CALL UPON ME.
THESE WHEELS & TIRES WILL BE SENT VIA UPS AND WILL BE FULLY INSURED FOR THE SELLING PRICE. I WILL KEEP YOU WELL INFORMED TO MY ACTIONS ON YOUR BEHALF. ON THE DAY THESE ARE MAILED OFF TO YOU, I WILL ENTER THE TRACKING NUMBER INTO BOTH EBAY AND PAYPALS RECORDS.
IF YOU HAVE OVERPAID A SINGLE DOLLAR FOR SHIPPING, IT WILL BE FULLY REFUNDED VIA A CREDIT ON YOUR PAYPAL ACCOUNT (PLEASE KEEP IN MIND THAT THESE ARE ALSO SHIPPED FULLY INSURED!!!).
PLEASE NOTE THAT PAYMENT MUST BE RECEIVED WITHIN 48 HOURS AFTER THE CLOSE OF BIDDING.
HERE IS WHERE I THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME IN READING ALL OF THE ABOVE.
AS I MENTIONED ABOVE, THESE WHEELS AND TIRES ARE AS CLOSE TO NEW AS POSSIBLE. YOU WILL BE VERY HARD PRESSED TO LOCATE A BETTER "USED" SET AT ANY PRICE!
ONCE AGAIN, I WOULD LIKE TO THANK YOU IN ADVANCE FOR YOUR CONSIDERATIONS ON THIS BEAUTIFUL AND METICULOUSLY MAINTAINED SET OF KONIG WHEELS AND TOYO TIRES,
JOE

BMW X7 confirmed – but will it take on the Range Rover?
Mon, 31 Mar 2014BMW today confirmed it will produce an all-new X7 model at its Spartanburg, US plant – reinforcing the American factory’s position as BMW’s largest production facility in the world. The new X7 is expected to be a large seven-seat range-topper that will appeal to the US market; it will probably be a rival to the Mercedes-Benz GL – and thus potentially be a premium alternative to the luxury Range Rover. BMW X4 revealed BMW X5 Plug-In Hybrid review (2014 onwards) BMW hasn’t confirmed anything other than the fact it will be ‘larger’ than the X5 and X6.

Rubens Barrichello does Top Gear
Thu, 08 Jul 2010Rubens Barrichello does Top Gear this weekend Top Gear does like to get a Formula One driver or two to drive their track in a reasonably priced car. They’ve not managed to grab the whole grid yet – and they’ve also included a few golden oldies like Nigel Mansell and Damon Hill – but a lot of the big names seem to be persuaded it’s a bit of fun worth having. The top contenders this year have all been to the TG track, bar one.
