Here's a long story to explain the backstory. Car was involved in an accident and the right two wheels were bent beyond repair. The tires also had gashes so they were replaced with new tires (the same that were on the left). I now switched to a CCW Drag Pack and did so before I even got the car back so the two right wheels have no miles on them.
The left wheels are original from car but were freshly painted along with the rights to have a full matching and fresh color on all four wheels. The rear tires are Mickey Thompson 305/35/18's. The left rear has about 75% tread. The right has 100%.
These are the rears: http://m.summitracing.com/parts/mtt-3785r
The front tires are 265/40/17 Bridgestone Potenza RE760 Sports. The left rear has about 90% tread and the right has 100%.
These are the front tires: http://m.tirerack.com/tires/TireDeta...num=64WR7RE760
If you are wondering why the left Bridgestone Potenza RE760 Sport has more tread than the left rear Mickey Thompson ET Street drag radial, it is because the compound of the Mickey Thomspon's is significantly softer and will wear out a bit faster. No burnouts have EVER been done on these at any point.
Here is the only issue and I found this out the hard way and the insurance I have is sticking to their guns on this. Every wheel is GM OEM and have the GM stamp, etc, EXCEPT the right front. While getting the right replacements, they were able to find a GM OEM right rear, but not a GM OEM front. It is a high end replica. Obviously these wheels are discontinued at the dealer and myself, the body shop and Piedmont Wheel have tried to find an OEM right front with no luck. With there not being an available front right, my policy states a replica suffices.
The weight is nearly identical, less than a pound difference. But no GM stamp, or any brand labeled for that matter. But I do know they actually paid more for the replica than the rear OEM replacement, ironically.
I simply want to be as 100% up front as possible. Some of you may have never even known the difference and the front of the wheels are identical. The rear of the wheel is where you can see the replica is slightly hollowed out on the spokes to make the weight nearly identical. It should not effect strength at all and many people have run similar wheels on all four sides, actually.
I would prefer pickup but will ship if needed. I am PayPal verified and if shipping is needed, I will ship out as soon as payment clears and provide a tracking number. I also have perfect feedback on eBay under the username DrewSpence87.
PM me on here or call/text 704-957-6777. I'm open to offers as I do not need them anymore but I'm not giving them away. Getting them done at Piedmont Wheel was $600 total, alone. There's right at $1,000 in tires. And of course there's the four wheels. I don't expect new prices, as they are slightly used on the left side (tires) but please use common sense if making an offer on what is a fair price and what is not.
Thank you and I'll upload as many pictures as possible. It only allows 6 so I am trying to show them mounted on car (before accident and brand new tires on right side), proof of them OEM ones with the GM stamp, a side by side with the one replica and a picture attempting to show the brand new tread of the right rear MT, /you can still see the nipples on it. I have about 20+ more pictures, so if you text me, I can send many many more.
Thanks guys,

On eBay now. If you're relatively local, I'd be willing to drive a few hundred miles if you win them to meet you to help on shipping. I have almost 1k JUST in tires!!!
