I bought these wheels from another GRMer, who gave me a sweet deal. I now do not have a use for them and will pass the deal on to someone else. They've done nothing but sit in my garage since I bought them in December 2011.
Here are the details from when I bought them:
There are 5 Kumho C70 slicks with four mounted. They reportedly have one track day on them according to the guy I bought them from. They were on a NB Miata. Offset is +15. I bought them a year ago for $550 and never ran them. I had them on the car for about two months and drove on them maybe half a dozen times until my car broke and I switched back to street tires. When I got the car back the clutch was slipping, so I never got to try them out.
And since they are Kumhos, the tires don't have to go in budget. So, with separate receipts, you can add some super cheap wheels to your Challenge project!
Here is a picture from the PO. The wheels are in great condition.

Paging Osterkraut to the red phone please, Osterkraut to the red phone please.
Is that a 4x110 bolt pattern?
Please o Please don't let the other bolt pattern be 4x114.3..
because then we would be talking shipping to 61853 and my wife would be mad at me.

Ring ring, Banana phone!
These are in fact something I'm looking for (not a huge fan of the multi-lug pattern, but hey). Ideally someone else would want just the tires, and a lower price on the wheels (and cheaper shipping) would be had. Once you factor in the shipping, and that I'd need street tires for these and another set of wheels for the slicks, brand new Rota RB's at $519 shipped aren't that far off.
In summation, if somebody wants just the tires, and Dyin' was willing to break them up...Of course, seeing as these ARE 4x114.3 (and probably one other... 4x100?) I don't think he's going to have trouble selling them!
I'm pretty sure the bolt pattern is 4-100/4-114.3 (multiple bolt holes). Not sure on the tire size, I'm out of town at the moment and don't have access to the wheels/tires.
Im the guy who sold these to Diy.
They are 4X100 and 4x114.3. 15x8 with a +15 offset if I remember correctly.
I don't remember the exact tire size off the top of my head. I believe they are 205/50/15 but can't be 100% sure. I am almost positive they are 205 but not sure on side wall profile.
UHoh! I will talk to my wife and measure some stuff on the MG tonight.
These would look nice on the MG.

Thanks, Greg. I need to check and see if these would fit the datsun...

Nevermind.. Count me out I just drew up in Pro/e these overlayed with my existing Rota's.. Will not fit with current fenders on car.

Thanks Greg! Confirmed. They are 205/50 R15.

Hmm...my dad just got a 323 GTX that he wants to bring to the $2012 this year. I'll have to see if those will fit...might be too wide for that car.

Correction in my original listing. The tires are Hankook, not Kumhos.

Hmm...bummer about the Hankooks. In that case, we'll pass...stupid Kumho tire rule already cramping my style!

Would these fit on a NA Miata w/o any work?? They seem to have a pretty extreme offset...

I think they will. That said, I never got around to mounting them on the car.
Do they have center caps? Would you ship to 60963, and if so, approximate cost?

I'll check on the center caps. On the shipping front, I'd be happy to ship, but I'm not sure on pricing. I'm in 32608.
I am almost positive I never had the center caps so I doubt he does either.

When you can, I'd like details in the tires. I may be interested if they get split from the wheels.

Will do. Just got back in town today and will try to get the details tomorrow (wheels/tires are in my dad's garage).

Reminder: I'm more interested in the wheels than the tires!

You'd need to roll the fenders on an NA Miata. Possibly a bit on an NB as well.
A GTX might work, they usually have spring clearance problems but the offset would push the tires outboard. I'd expect some bodywork there.
