Default Ruff 278 19x9.5 wheels with Michelin Pilot sport tires

Up for sale is my set of 4 Ruff 278s in Hyperblack with mounted/balanced Michelin Pilot sport tires. The wheels are 19x9.5 with perfect backspacing for fbodies. No rubbing at all and I'm lowered with Stranos. The tires are Michelin Pilot Sports in 275/30/19 and the fronts have 0.24" (8/32") of tread and the rears have 0.22" of tread (7/32") left. The spokes are hyperblack, which is a dark silver/black look, with clear coat that is perfect. The lips are polished and clear coated, which is also perfect. The wheels are only 4 years old, and have less than 4,000 miles on them as I've averaged less than 1,000 miles a year for the past 5-6 years. The car doesn't see rain, and is parked on the lift for the entire winter. In the coming week, I plan to steam clean the wheels as I do each year for the winter. It gets all the brake dust out of the nooks and crannies.

The only damage/flaw to the wheels is the right rear has a small amount of curb rash on the lip which can be cleaned up if you so desire.

Price is (EDIT, now $1300) 1500 but is negotiable somewhat, but no low ball offers. I live in central Bucks county Penssylvania, and am willing to meet up, but that decreases my negotiation limit. If you want them shipped, I'll get a pallet, and package them, and it's up to you to pay for freight or shipping, your choice.

Any questions, feel free to ask. I have more pics, just ask.

Here's the front tread depth...


and the rear tread depth....


Here's the only damage/flaw with the set...
It's really not bad at all.


And here's how the car looks with them.


Again, the wheels aren't available anymore, so they are somewhat unique. They are a more affordable version of CCW 505s. The tires alone cost me over $1500 and there's lot of miles left in them.
The only reason I'm selling these is that I need to go to a set of 18s with fatter rears thanks to the power of the Procharger. I just can't hook at all on the 19s with a 275 tire.
Thanks.

I'm heading to SEMA tomorrow, and won't be back till Friday, so if you're interested, please be patient and I'll try to check in when I can.

Thanks.

Back to the top. I have some interest, but no commitments yet.

Here's a side profile pic...

Sorry, that's 1/3 less than the original asking price. I don't even have new wheels ordered yet, so I'll just wait.

You're local, you could always bolt them up and see how they look. They probably match the smoke flames you have well, which by the way, look great.

Right now I have someone local who's interested and much closer to my current asking price.

Patience pays off for the two of us. I got a good deal on a set of CCW's that need plenty of tlc, and you got these for what you offered.

Nice talking to you today, happy to do business. Post some pics when you get them on the car.
