Dirty (in my warehouse which has no water) but surprisingly nice and uncurbed.

$500. Prefer local pickup in SC. I do go to the Charlotte area monthly and can meet up there.

If there is one extra, I'll take it.

Never seen that mentioned on any wheels sold on here before. Something specific for Mahle's?

I've seen it mentioned a lot, mostly with wheels. Seems like the price would go way up with that guarantee. The cost would have to be added to the selling price. I have not seen it mentioned with most of the other used parts that get sold. Not sure why it comes up with the wheels. Maybe someone got burned once.

Mahle and Pedrini wheels were cast NOT forged as the Fuchs were. They were VERY easily bent and that is why they need to be checked. From personal experience it is not unusual to have one or two bent wheels.

We have one around here, it is pricey. That's why I said no one should have to do it just to sell the wheels. X4 or 5 would really add up.

They’ve repaired motorcycle wheels for me. Good people.

From the pictures, the rims look dirty but no damage, and at $125/wheel that is a great price IMO. Pictures of the backside could help.

I agree with Mark, The cast wheels are somewhat rare to find in straight sets of 4. I recommend you always check these. Brad Mayeur

Most tire places/companies will check
them for free.

A must for cast wheels.

Better safe than sorry !!!
