Fishy rims

[durrell]

It says full set of rims. That doesn't seem all that fishy, my Mustang rims were regularly 400 or so but I got them with tires for 700. Just make sure you get insurance and all that, and make sure they fit your car.

EDIT: Found the "fishy" part. I highly doubt you have a 10-hole application to mount these on. They're not your standard 5-lug wheel.

Doesnt seem fishy. The shipping is around how much it would cost... considering how heavy each rim is. Just divide the $190 by 4 and you get $47.50 per rim. Wich is about right.

The ten holes are there to fit mulitple cars...there is nothing fishy with that. I own a couple 10 hole rims but made by Koning. They are a off brand which is fine but the paint and color on the rims make flake off at the first grain of sand. I would buy something more local when is comes to that. I have worked on 4 project import cars so far and I learned my lesson on the first one about buing cheap rims. They ended up look like crap after one afternoon of driving (of course it was rough driving to see what the car could do.) Paint chipped and looked like crap. It cost more to repaint them. I should have just bought some name brand from Discount Tire Direct.

Contact some of the people who bought off brand rims from this guy and ask them about the quality of the rims they bought.

That's about the average price for a set of no-brand rims.

I think it's better if you visit local shops and check on a site that specializes on rims n tires. I remember browsing on sites like www.wheelmax.com and sites like those that can get you rim and tire packages for under 1000, and they're real brand wheels.

You probably haven't considered that you still need to get low profile tires and those aren't cheap, and then you need to go to a tire place to have them mount them, where as this site gives you the wheels ready to go on your car.

I was able to get a set for 150 and I painted them gunmetal myself and they came out niiice. Then I got kumho tires cheap thru a hook-up.

So I suggest you see wheel shops (though they'll probably rip you) or sites like the one i mentioned. google it..

I was really hoping for rims with small fish tanks in them....
