Default Check out these wheels!!

If I only had 3 grand to drop on wheels these would be the ones I would get. And you don't even have to deal with the hassle of keeping them polished cause the guy had them triple chrome plated.

too much for used wheels, great that he thinks they are new, but you get to choose the offset, backspacing, and size when you buy them new

also for 3k, go Fikse

I know that he says they have been never mounted on a car, but my point was when you buy them new, from CCW you get to choose what you want
when buying them from this ebayer, you get what he choose

and I read his ad before I posted my opinion on the wheels

Sorry it was just your choice of the word "used" when they seem to be new.

I understand its just hard to say anything sold on ebay is new, unless its from the manufacturer like the AFS wheels

I've always been afraid of chromed wheels. They always chip in the end. Polished would be harder to keep clean, but if I pay 3000 for wheels, I'll take em off the car and clean them every week anyway, hell, I might make a bed for them in my bedroom.
