BeatBox Posted February 19, 2012 Report Share Posted February 19, 2012 they seem to be chrome? if so make sure there is no pitting on them, if there is ANY at all dont buy them not worth it if they are polished wheels, just look for anything obvious, bends on the inner lips or outer lips, bubbles on the tires price wise its not too bad, even tho they have been sitting they should be ok IMO i wouldnt pay more than $400 but if u take only that im sure he would take it, he would be stupid not too. if he doesnt keep looking Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BeatBox Posted February 19, 2012 Report Share Posted February 19, 2012 basically if there is anything like this, happens alot on chrome when its ran in the winter. EVEN ONCE! it will do this http://www.pdkwheels.com/pdk_wheel_pages/pdk_information/Chrome_Plating_Warranty.htm look for any blemishes in the chrome ON silver wheels painted wheels you dont get pitting you have clear coat peeling. polished wheels u dont get any of this stuff for the most part since they are polished, unless they also have a layer of clear coat. then u get this ^ ^ ^ This is from what i know, so i could be wrong but thats what I WOULD LOOK FOR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
