Hey, sorry if this isn't the most important thread ever but....
I have a bent rim on my car from a while back and this guy is willing to sell me his stock set (4 wheels) for $350, unfortunately it is hard to find someone who is just selling 1 or 2 stock rims.... so, is that a good deal or not?
So what you guys say, deal or no deal??
Thanks!

 

I'm not too sure how much they would cost in the US, but I think thats a decent price. I mean that is like $87.5 USD per wheel.
If they come with tires, even better!

If you didn't know, our stock rims are Enkei! lol

I think it'll be hard for you to source 1 or 2 stock rims. Is the bent rim giving you a problem?

 

i think there is a place online where u can buy just one stock rim for like 100 or so. i've seen it before but dont remeber the site. i'm pretty sure the otterman knows. just wait for him to see this- he'll let u know lol

 

I sold mine with only 1500 miles on them for $200. You can prob get a better deal if you wait.

 

I have a 16" RA rim and tire with 8000KM on it if you're interested?
i have 3 left.

 

Just curious, what were you doing that bent your rim?

 

If you just need one or two, there are places where you can find single rims. Visit junkyard sites like car-parts.com and search around. You should be able to find a stock wheel for under $100.

$350 seems a bit high to me, too. That's what I'd expect to pay retail.

 

so the 4 rims for $350 is too high???

 

IMO, yes. If they had some tires on them with a bit of treadlife left, then $350 would be reasonable.

 

I'm with Otter on this one. Look around and you will find cheaper.

Is the bend on the rim causing problems that you can't mount a tire or has balance issues? How bad is it?

 

Thanks for the replies everyone.....
The rim i have that is bent is pretty out of whack, but not too bad to drive. but above 40mph you feel a pretty strong vibration throughout the car. And a continuous thumping noise. Also the same rim on that has a nice chunk taken out of it as well.

It happened over a year ago when i had to swerve to avoid being hit and i was doing like 50mph and i hopped up over a 4" curb. It sucked... and i haven't taken care of it yet because i was living in HI for 7 months, and i my RA was in storage.

Yea, the $350 seemed kind of high to me as well. But what makes it worth is is the fact i can drive and pick them up. because otherwise shipping will kill me price-wise. Also i was thinking of possibly having them all powdercoated and just swap my like-new toyo proxy 4's onto them.
I dunno i am torn....

 

gimme a zip code? I'll see how much it is to ship from western Canada.
Maybe it won't be that bad?
interested or no ?

 

Stock RA wheel about $155 without shipping...
