Title: Any thoughts about these wheels?
Post by: aleksandar on April 28, 2015, 20:58
They dont shine as they should....

Plasti dip them black or polish them?

What should I do?

I forgot the name of the rims... anybody recognize them?

Btw, there are usually clues on the back of the rims cast into the metal. Have you had a look back there yet?
A piccy of the rear would be useful.

I saw a pic on the internet, someone was selling them for 400 euro with almost new tyres (2000kms) driven.

But it was to far from my region and too busy with work so I asked my brother to go.
He got them for 300 euro and just sent me one picture lol.

Ill get them friday just on time when my car will be delivered.

What do you think about the price?

Good price, but a bit too busy for me.

Ill post a picture as soon as the car and rims arrive

I hope they look cool, first time ever buying second set of wheels, as I sell my cars within the year,,, it would be too expensive to change and to sell...

I'd be wanting a picture of all of them for 300 to check for kerbing.

Are all the tyres 215/40/17?

If so you will need to change 2 of them before putting them on your car.

Also, 2 look like they have some kerbing.

The one on the left has quite a few weights on it. Make sure none of them are buckled.

I didnt check them lol it was a fast pic before going to work. Im going to wash them and check tomorrow.
 I saw some kerbing too but nothing hard visible. What are the weights for? Balancing?

They came of an MR same year.

Yes, the weights are for balancing. When you get a wheel with LOTS on sometimes is suggests a wheel that is buckled. Not always though.

For the tyres, you need to have a narrower tyre for the fronts.
