FS: MB Wheels w/ Blizzaks - Bellingham, WA

____ Sold _____


Stock size for the 2nd gen SR-5 - P245/75R16

These are inexpensive-but-solid alloy wheels bought from Discount Tire - perfect for use as that set of winter wheels/tires you've been meaning to get. Complete with TPMS sensors (so you don't drive around with the TPMS light bugging you all winter). Tires in good shape (no gouges or damage or repairs, even wear), tread is between 8/32 and 9/32, so you can get a solid winter season out of them.

Why a spare set of winter wheels/tires? If you're going up to the mountains a bunch in the winter, the traction on these in snow/ice (and the mushy extra slick stuff in the transition from rain to snow) is unreal because of the softer rubber compound - way better than not just all seasons but also all terrain, even the "winter rated" ones with the little snow flake symbol (like the G015). Having them all mounted and ready to go saves you money, but more importantly time (I always got them switched on/off for free at the dealer with an oil change).

$300 for the complete set, pick up in Bellingham.

 

Are those lug centric wheels?

 

Hey, thanks for sending me down that rabbit hole, I just learned something!

So yes, they are lug centered. The guy at Discount Tire (where I bought them) says they offer hub centering rings for these at something like $30, but that they don't recommend those because, as he put it, the wheels work great as they are. I never had any vibration issues - but then, hey, until ten minutes ago I didn't know there was a distinction between lug and hub centering wheels.
