Default Old School RARE staggered Blitz Type 01

This is a set of very old school Blitz rims. I believe they are called Type 01cx or something like that. What makes it even more rare is the size/stagger setup.

18x8.5 front and 18x10.5 back ... they are Supra Mk4 TT offsets

I've seen these rims here in the US before... but not with the 10.5 rear (look at the lip)

I got these from a used wheel shop in Japan and waited forever for them to get here. They ARE NOT in mint condition as the rims do have some curb rash and minor chips on them. But it's nothing a polish won't fix.

I put them on my car for a couple of days just to take the pictures and see how they'd look. I took them off shortly simply because the front tires were down to the metal. The rear tires however have 95% tread in them and are ALSO OLD SCHOOL TIRES! They're Bridgestone SO-2's !!! They don't even make those anymore. One of the stickiest tires ever made (note the 140 treadwear).

So why am i selling? Shortly after getting these rims... i came up on a deal on Work Termist rims that I've been wanting forever. And I can't keep both rims cuz i ain't ballin

$2000 OBO with the SO-2's in the rear and ALL AUTHENTIC Blitz center caps

located in so cal

Isn’t life great when the toughest decision is which set of wheels to keep? You really can’t go wrong with either set.

I hate to go off topic, but I love your exhaust! What cans and tips do you have on there?

overclocker... they're a custom made set straight from okinawa japan (a shop called Mitsumi) so i guess you can say they're custom mitsumi mufflers

the rear potenza SO-2's are 295-30-18... i won't even begin to talk about how crazy sticky these tires are... and they have about 95% tread

I'm told these rims were fitted on a mk4 supra TT (when it was in okinawa)... so i would imagine they fit. The few short days that I had it on my car... there was plenty of clearance with my stock brakes (if that helps any)
