I thought the 1/2" difference on the 2012 wheels was only on the rears, not the fronts.

This is off topic Lou but it's just a quick question for you, how much do you think I should sell my set of 2012 wheels + Michelin PS2s + TPMS for?

It sounds too low, especially for the best looking OEM ISF wheels so far. I was asking because I've had them collecting dust for some time and there is someone in the classifieds section asking for a set. My set has no more than 1,000 miles, I was thinking at least double of what you said.

Let us know how the new Pole Positions perform on the ISF, I guess they're great!

^^^^Pricing is really what the market will bear, not really on actual value. If someone wants them bad enough, and has the money

I do not feel you will get more than $2400 - $2600 as people just are not willing to pay more for them. I went through this last year and was very disappointed.

^^^ Yeah, that's what I had in mind when I thought about selling my 08 ISF wheels but this time is different, it's for a 2012 set: wider wheels, newer design, brand new tires... I'll keep them just in case.

I cannot find any sites that offer matching sets for the 245/285 setup. Can anyone refer or recommend? Thanks!

Joe Z,

Man that setup is "sick"...I love the combo of the Five Axis R5 with the tire sizes you selected...that would look perfect on my Matador Red ISF...but for now I am content with my stock wheels and was wondering if you think the 235/35 & 265/30 tires would work on the 2009 stock wheel without bulge. I am running PSS (stock sizes) and probably won't do anything until they wear some more but want to start lining up my next wheel/tire decision. Dang I keep looking at the Five Axis R5 and they look so sweet...btw how much do they weigh each? Thanks for any feedback u can provide.
