    Blitz type 03 dishy 18" alloys

    Reduced to £650 as i need the money...........BARGAIN!!!

    Unfortunately i am have to sell my Blitz alloys as i now have a set of rota torques, i wish i could keep both sets but funds just dont allow it.
    I have owned these for around 2 years and have absolutely loved them.
    They are in good condition but not mint with the usual light kerbing and marks as to be expected from a used set of wheels, although many were there when i bought them.
    They are 3 piece design with the gold bolt optional upgrade.

    Fronts are 18" x 8 et35 with a 3" dish.




    now is where it gets unusual..............
    The rears have offset offsets
    One wheel is 18x9 et 38, the other is 18x9 et28 and has been like this since i bought them (not realising and actually didnt realise for about a year) and have never had any trouble, my car has been 4 wheel aligned and nobody has ever noticed this. it would be personal to if it would bother you
    I think at some point someone has damaged a rear wheel and replaced it with the incorrect offset because one has all stickers in tact and is in better condition.
    Anyway It can be sorted any wheel repair centre as i have enquired with my local one they can either make up the lower side or lower the other side or you could sort with a spacer.







    NOT LOWERED

    These are being sold without tyres because i swapped them over to my rota's. these are no longer in production and are pretty rare probably due to how much they were new

    Today i have removed the centres from both front wheels and cleaned the rim (first pic) with autosol and have removed a lot of the brown that you can see on the rear wheels . Its not a hard job to do just time consuming to remove all the bolts and refit them. I may do the rears if i get time.

    £700 ono

    Cheers

    Rob

    Nice wheels, wanted some of these 6years age for my s14
    Shame about offset issue on rears, price could probably do with dropping a bit to reflect this, IMHO.
    Do Blitz do a replacement rim section?

    The dish etc are exactly the same just the offset.
    As for pricing these were £500+ a wheel with £50 ontop for gold studs, i may drop but have priced to what i think is fair, i paid a lot more for them
    Not sure if you'll get any other centres from blitz as they dont make these anymore.

    Swapping Blitz rims for rotas should be illegal.

    I may live to regret the swap especially as I dont expect to see another set of these for sale. I really wish i could afford to keep both sets......but i cant

    Think they were a fair bit more pricey than that back in the day actually mate about £800 a corner for 18s IIRC.

    nice price for these wheels, especially them being 18's,

    i paid a fair bit more for my 17 type 03's, but 10" rear and 9" fronts, and manly offsets

    Free bump!
