    Do you have pictures of each rim and the backside of the wheels?

    They look pretty darn good to me!

    I do have individual shots. 2 of them have some rash, the other 2 are extra clean! No backsides shot though.

    No center caps? I don't know... you've been looking for quite a while, so you know the market better than I do. But $385 for some non perfect rims with no center caps sounds a bit too high to me. But then, I overpaid for a set of OEM 15" wheels with 18 year old Hoosiers on them, so don't ask me for advice on buying wheels.

    Does that mean you'll be liquidating your 14 sets of them?

    No you’re thinking about Mr. Boyd! He even had a couple of 14" BBS on his golf cart!

    I only have 16 rims in my Miata rim collection! :afro:

    I got'em! 2 of them are in near pristine condition, 1 has a little rash and the 4th lost in a fight with a curb. The all-season tires (Dunlop D60-A2) are like brand new. I'll street them and save the wear and tear on the Azenis!

    Here's what Tire Rack has to say about the Lop's - ($56 each BTW)
    While on the road the D60 A2 provided very good ride and noise comfort, it couldn't match the other tire's ability to cushion the impacts of pavement expansion joints and small potholes, and it's real world handling was rated as almost equal to the Potenza RE930. On the track the D60 A2 W/JLB's responsiveness handling and traction was praised for providing the sportiest feel and fastest lap times. Overall the D60 A2's combined rating places it between the other two tires in this evaluation.

    Looks good...but I liked the last set of wheels you had too. Bet your garage is getting smaller.
