Wheels for skis?

I don't know if this is legal or not but if it isn't, feel free to delete this.  Anyway, I'm going to be moving to Colorado in July and I don't want to bring 2 sets of wheels with me.  Also, summer tires + snow = bad bad bad.

I'm trying to sell it on craigslist and other places but I wanted to see if I could get some trade going or if anyone wanted to purchase it at least.  I'm looking for some pow skis, reno rocker/melee, k2 hellbent, or EP Pros.

It's a sportmax 501 in 15x8 (4x100/114) with Kumho Ecsta SPT tires.  Mildy stretched at 195/45/15.  I'll take some more detailed pictures if I get some serious offers.

a LITTLE stretched? ? ?

215's are recommended for 7" wide wheels....225's for 8"....you say yours are 8" wide....

either your wheels are not 8" wide, the tires are bigger than 195's, or your tires are stretched A LOT......like nearly 3 inches a lot....

the evo in the pic is ill.........you missing a grill piece? 

the tires don't look bad, but i wouldn't say mild, i don't think you could stretch it much more...... looks like a VW

and i love the license plate, my brother drives a toaster as well

nothing really, just lowered it and added wheels.

i haven't made an effort in the power department, it's kinda pointless to be honest lol.

let's trade cars, mk?

yeah i know, what do they have a 1.8 liter or something?.... ive seen some guys go nuts with the A/V equipment in those little toasters though..... and they look real good slammed, and 17's or something fill the wheel wells out nice;y.

I just like to have fun while driving, i have built an on-ramp monster and couldn't be happier ( unless i could afford and skip the waiting list for an RS4)....... amazing driving car, feels like driving in a video game, just a little more consequence when she gets squirrely...which is more than rare..... i love this car, its just hard slowing down once i make it onto the actual highway.... hard to say no to so much fun.....

1.5 liter actually lol.

Engine is peppy though, the lightness of the car gives it its nimbleness.  The car is so much fun to drive around and shit despite it's power, it's got some great handling for what it is.

Ya, I've experienced awd turbo cars a lot before, they are sexy as hell.  My 2 friends have evo MR 8 and 9s.  I've ridden in both cars a lot and fuck, it's so good.  I'm quite partial to the WRXs though, they know that I would very well prefer a STi over an Evo and give me a hard time on that lol.  The sti's are pretty much my dream car, well just below a Lotus Exige S.

i got this lotus for sale down the street, the only times i have thought about dumping my car happen driving by that thing...... too much put into her for that though...... lotus's are the shit tho..... handle like bikes

i've never driven my brother's box, you make me want to give her a go......god that sounds terrible, atl;east you know what i mean

and evo or wrx/STi is a win win situation, either car is amazing
