Too good to be true?

Does this look like too good a deal or what?

I think these rims look awesome, but my wife isn't a fan of the black rim look, so I have to pass. Very cool look IMO though.

I saw that thread. Seems like a decent price, but not exactly a steal once you factor in shipping. They're most likely knock-offs and comparable wheels can probably be had new for only about $100-150 more

Good catch. Yeah the seller didn't reply when someone asked about the brand....cheapos wouldn't be worth it.

Sounds like the one guy is gonna trade his MS3 stockers for them anyway. Arent the stock MS3 wheels worth some cash or does everyone sell them when they buy their aftermarket wheels and flood the marketplace with the stock ones?

AFAIK the stock MS3 wheels are only a step above the snowflakes when it comes to desirability. They generally get dumped when people are looking for new wheels because wrapping 18s in snow tires will empty your wallet fast!

Personally, I don't care for the look of the extra holes and the silver screw/bolt heads.

They get a whole lotta meh from me, and really, everyone else is right. You can find that design a million places, cheap for new.

Yeah, I don't particularly like the chrome bolt heads, but I really like the black wheels with the chrome lip. Vetoed by the wife though, so I'm still waiting for something that really jumps out at me.

Hey now, I thought you were a fan of knock offs?

Mine were money I got $550 for mine. For someone who wants 18"s they are a great set of wheels they are actually made by enkei so they are quality. I don't know why people get rid of them for cheap stuff like these wheels.


OP, yea they look like ok wheels if you are on a tight budget and mainly want that "mesh look".

Yeah, thats what I was thinking. Seems like they are a decent looking set of wheels with good build quality.

I never said it was a bad thing, I was just saying that they're probably inexpensive wheels to begin with, so they can likely be had brand new for only a little more than the guy is selling them for.
