Seems good to me. $200, a wheel, with tires. Sounds like a steal.

Yeah, that is awesome, especially if the tires have even 50% tread.

i figured it was a good deal, just wanted to be reassured like a child.

and the tires have 99% of the tread left, he babies the car, never done one burnout since getting the wheels. i will probably do one within 20 minutes

That's such a rip off!! I think you need to run away from that, and never talk to him again!! First you should give me his phone number though.


That's a killer deal mate. If for whatever reason you decide against, hook me up. I'll take em.
