There's no market for them.

Yeah I felt pretty stupid after posting and realizing I already had 15" wheels..uggg Not only that, but 5 minutes after I posted I did another search on craigslist and found a full set of wheels and tires ! They were 17" OE R8 Replica wheels with Kumho Ecsta AST 225-45R17 tires, less then 15K on the tires. The best part is that I jewed em down to $500

I do notice that the car sits a little taller now. Time to search some threads on how to lower the stance a little. thanks !
