I'd like to get a '99 VR-4 but I just bought a house so buying anything big will be awhile.

And, those 18" chromies are the factory '95+ wheel; having them in good shape is rare. But, they're super heavy compared to most modern wheels.

Sold for $45k. :eek:

They’re also trash. Chrome Mitsu Wheels were HIGHLY unreliable back then. Same went for the Chrome 2G DSM Wheels. The quality control just wasn’t there.

This is something I've been getting very used to. Nothing like this is my concern anymore. I don't have to worry about unexpected housing expenses. It's pretty awesome. I was pretty lucky for the last 5 years with a newer house though. Except for the time the basement flooded and no one knew why. That was just awful.

Ya....my condo flooded because no one even cleaned out the gutters and I was on the ground floor and gutters went underground next to my condo.

The insurance brought out an abatement company to deal with the water and drying up the slab, after they removed half the wood floor. Then I removed the other half and put down all new floating floors. Came out with $5,000 in my pocket after everything was completed. :thumb:

That sounds like a great outcome. I ended up paying a couple grand for the clean up because we didn't end up going. Through insurance so our rates didn't increase.

Yeah, nice chunk of change in my pocket but removing the glue used to glue down the floor was a pain to get off. Maybe 4-5 days just to remove that. It was maybe 250sqft, lol

It probably didn't help that these were a sand cast wheel (I believe) so not exactly up there are the strength scale compared to modern forged wheels (or, even forged wheels of the time). My car had the original 94 Stealth chrome option wheels when I got it but they were pitted and leaking at the seams so I ditched them some time ago.
