Saw these advertised for sale near me:
http://www.kijiji.ca/v-tires-rims/norfolk-...gationFlag=true Not my favourite wheels, but I think they look good in black with the polished rims. And better than my current steelies! What do you think? Worth it, or worth lowballing? |

Is that $100 apiece or the whole set? Whole set would be a steal; $75 apiece would be a fair price but if they are very nice $100 each is a good price.

The one in the pic appears to have some major curb rash.

It's $100 for the set of 5, but they do not appear to be in good cosmetic shape, that's for sure.

If they are badly scuffed, chipped, scraped, curbed, I'd pass.
Otherwise, $100 for the set is a great deal, if all they need is cleaning, maybe some light sanding in spots, and painting. |

For the set is a very good deal, not perfect condition but straight is important. Anyway you can check the trueness before buying? When cleaned up these are very nice rims and a lot of people's favourite.

The price sounds like a steal. But, I thought these were 15" rims & the seller says they're 14" wheels.
