Beautiful wheels, but they look like Marquis Promadas to me. As far as I know, Evos did not come with snouts to accept center caps. Evos had a flat bolt/hub area with a center bore that appeared much larger from the front.

I guess you are right.

Note: Desmond made 2 types of RegaMasters, the Evo and the Marquis Promada. The former is slightly more rare but is not offered in many of the larger sizings. To tell the difference between Evos and Marquis Promadas (MP), look at the hub. MP’s will have a raised hub area for the center caps. Additionally, they also have a recessed groove that circumvent the inside edge of the spokes.

I got them with that Evo stickers, so I decided they were Evos. Is there a great difference between Evo and MP (except hub)?

Depending on the diameter of the wheel, smaller sizes had several differentiations while larger diameters were primarily the hub area. Yours are standard Regamasters, not Evos. Technically Desmond never marketed their wheels as Marquis Promada, that was just a marking on the wheel box and people began calling them MP based on that. Their catalog only denoted them as Regamaster, Regamaster Bright and Regamaster Evo. There are actually aluminum center caps for the Evos that fit in from the back side of the wheel, but they are rarer than the wheels themselves.

From a value perspective, generally the Evos are worth a bit more, with actual specs making even more of a value impact. Given yours are the largest specs Desmond produced, they were only built-to-order and they were only directly made for the R33 GTR, they're easily worth your asking price compared to other sets that have sold in the past few years. These are a bit rich for the typical zilvian, but if you can find an Evo or Subie owner running wide fenders, they would be excellent. The offsets are your biggest killer, the +45 would be more versatile given the squared setup so people could use spacers to dial in their ideal offsets.

You might end up doing better pairing them out since the specs are great for the back of a rwd car. Glws, best wheels out there imo. Quality doesn't get any better than these.

[240sx1214]

to me these arnt EVO's but MP's
last i remember only MP's has the center that comes upwards/pokes out to hold the center caps & EVO's are close to flat...
idk...

I was quite specific in my description above, I don't think I could have clarified any better than I did.

Thanks for your reply! Appreciate your knowledge and advice!

Well just for a reference point, a pair with your specs typically runs between $2k-2200. Might take a bit longer to find 2 buyers, but then again it might not and an extra $1k seems worth the effort imo. Good luck either way, I'm sure you won't have much trouble.

[killer3@lOOp]

Well, I received an offer to buy a pair. So, if anyone wants another pair, feel free to post or pm me. I will sell if only there are two customers for two pairs. Plus I'll wait till both pay and then will ship. If any pair isn't paid, I will refund already paid pair. Think its fair.

[killer3@lOOp]

bump bump bump

I checked my eBay limits and unfortunately I can list the rims there only in September, so one more week for this thread... You can buy pairs. Welcome.
