GusGus91 · 2009-08-03, 11:01 AM

I'd like to know how those tires have that much tread wear on them.. they were put on like a month ago.. But bump for the wheels i was going to buy.. =(

Kevin M · 2009-08-03, 11:09 AM

Bad alignment after the springs would be my guess.

EMO · 2009-08-03, 11:47 AM

Haha it's from sliding around a lot. That suby is tail happy in boost around turns

Yes it is. haha I know that first hand. I love it.

100_Percent_Juice · 2009-08-03, 03:53 PM

Loren's alignment burned through tires before this guy put the springs on. That is why.

EMO · 2009-08-03, 08:29 PM

maybe? idk, don't really care. but seriously, i need these sold. you alllll know you want to rock these.

100_Percent_Juice · 2009-08-03, 08:33 PM

I would rock these. If the price was $1k.

EMO · 2009-08-03, 08:37 PM

if you give me $1k tomorrow they are yours. haha, seriously

100_Percent_Juice · 2009-08-03, 08:52 PM

How about 800 tonight and you can keep the tires.

EMO · 2009-08-03, 08:54 PM

naw have no use for the tires. $1k is as low as ill go. well worth the money, as we all know they do not make these anymore and are pretty hard to come by. atleast from what ive seen. hit me up on the cell and let me know if you wanna do it. if they dont sell this week then price will be 1500 firm til they do sell.

100_Percent_Juice · 2009-08-03, 08:59 PM

Fine. $900 final offer.

EMO · 2009-08-03, 09:00 PM

haha $100 more and ill deliver it to you tonight

100_Percent_Juice · 2009-08-03, 09:05 PM

$800 and I will pick them up.

EMO · 2009-08-03, 09:07 PM

lol nope. $1k is the lowest. you even said you would rock them if they were $1k haha now they are.

100_Percent_Juice · 2009-08-03, 09:33 PM

You are making this very difficult.

EMO · 2009-08-03, 09:35 PM

lol, its actually pretty easy. you give me $1,000 then i give you the rims. we shake hands and we both leave happy. haha, i need the money for my build.

EMO · 2009-08-06, 05:15 PM

Unfortunately, just because they're forged doesn't make up for them being small. You can get brand new cast FN01RC's in 17x9" for $1000, which are just as strong, and still very light at ~19lbs IIRC.

You're going to need to find a buyer looking for forged street wheels, which is kind of a contradiction in terms. You'd have much more luck selling them to an RS owner... but they're cheap bastards, so you'll probably have to lower the price to $600 or so to get anyone interested.

I'm not cheap, I'm poor!

But your point is correct. Next to nobody is interested in forged 7.5" wheels.

van · 2009-08-07, 10:58 AM

not cheap, thrifty. I pay no more than $70 for 17x7.5 wheels

thanks for your input, but im not gonna lower the price just because reno people are cheap. these are not rotas or anything like that. so if people wanna be cheap and buy cheap/crap wheels thats fine, but i know that there are people out there looking for a nice set of dd wheels that arent just another set of wack ass rotas.

Kevin M · 2009-08-08, 10:27 AM

He didn't say you're overcharging- he said there's no market for them, and it's true. Very few people are willing to drop $1000 on wheels that aren't big enough for really wide tires. that, and hardly anybody has mod money these days anyway. Big ticket items just don't sell right now.
