View Full Version : FS: Rare JDM Rays Engineering Texan Shot Guns (16x7)

These are Rays Engineering Texan Shot Guns. They are 16x7, +37 offset, 4x100 (and 5x100). They are a forged two-piece wheel that I've restored. They arrived in not-so-great condition. I disassembled them, had the chrome stripped off of them, and had them professionally polished by Oregon Plating in Portland, OR. I polished all of the rivets, too. I then reassembled them.

They wheels are shod with 205/50/16 Yokohama AVS ES100 tires with probably 60% tread still.

The centercaps are bit faded and have some scratches. There are a few very minor hairline scratches in the wheel faces, but they will easily buff out (the wheels are not clear coated so polishing will be much easier). There are two rivets missing total (two wheels are missing one each). One rivet on the other two wheels is glued on, however, I was told by a professional wheel shop that they are still perfectly fine to drive on. I'm sure you could find a replacement fastener, too. Finally, the Rays labels on the inside of the barrels has mostly peeled off. However, the word "RAYS ENG" is stamped into the face of each wheel -- these are the real deal.

There is no curb rash and all of the wheels are straight and track great. I've put about 1,000 miles on these rims, and about 15,000 miles on the tires (if that).

I'm asking $1,200 or best offer + PayPal. Local sale (OR, WA) much preferred, but will ship if necessary at buyer's expense. No trades.

Thanks for looking!

Lots of boxes have been eye balling my yaris lately I get more looks from those guys than other Yaris.

These would look sick on a blue or white Yaris!

$13,500. It's got Tein S-Techs, H&R 15mm TRAK Spacers, and a CravenSpeed short shifter. I've got some other parts, too but I was going to sell them outright.

although they look heavy .. i like them allot .. nice !!

Well, they are forged, so they're not as heavy as you'd think.

whats your reserve at? you may be asking too much...

My reserve was $1,000; not too much IMHO. Maybe too much for eBay, but not for the wheels/tires as they are.
