Picked up some true 3-piece splits about a week and a half ago. A staggered set of JDM Desmond RE Amemiya wheels; RX-7 wheels.
Specs are 17x8.5 et42 and 17x.95 et42.
The condition of these wheels was good: no bends, one wheel had very tiny curb rash, the paint on the faces were starting to chip, and the lips had normal pitting from daily use.

These wheels go for about $1400 + s/h, but I was able to score these for only $1000 locally! (I’m stoked because we Hawaii residents get raped on s/h on car parts). I’m going to be splitting the wheels, painting the faces, and polishing the lips myself over the next few months. My goal is to take my time and be finished by December.
And so the “Ballin’ on a Budget” wheel rebuild begins….
