Bent/dented rim?
Hey guys looking at buying some rims and was looking for opinions. I've been looking for a cheap set for over a month now and haven't found anything. This guy has 4 matching wheels with center caps. They have some curb rash and one has a small dent. What do you guys think they're worth? I offered 75 and he said no because "they sell for 50 each on eBay plus shipping with curb rash"
Also do you think the dented wheel is even usable? Looks like maybe the lip but do you think it's balancable or would even seal?

I would not buy/run a dented wheel
It "may" be fine, but might have a crack or some other **** (<-- MF's probably edited that word out. If so, the word was ****). Keep shopping, as you will find something.

JAZZER got to this before me, but I thought the same thing as I looked at the pic and read the post.
I would NOT buy and use a "damaged" wheel. It may take a little more time, but you can find used wheels out there that are not damaged.
GOOD LUCK!

I have these wheels that I am wanting to sell. Has nittos on them, but need to be replaced. I think shipping would rape you though. I am wanting $350 for them. (Is that asking to much?) http://www.americanmuscle.com/chrome...itto-stag.html

No thanks man, I'm actually lookin for wheels for my fox I'm converting to 5 lug. This section seems to get a little more traffic than the 5.0 section and these wheels come on 4.6 so I posted here lol. Anyways 10.5 won't fit with out modifications and I'm not really looking to do. Appreciate the offer and all the replys you guys have given. Im not going to buy them. I didn't think it'd be a good idea and everyone has confirmed it for me.
Think I might go with these
