They look like a decent deal, but I would be weary of someone selling rims on ebay for so cheap with free shipping. Shipping charges are usually like $80 bucks for something so big.

Check out americanmuscle.com, they have black bullits for a good price and you don't have to worry about getting scammed.

tough call. I would be wary like oddy said since they are so cheap. But on the other hand the seller has over 28,000 ratings and a 99.5% satisfaction rate. Kinda up to you i guess. If you decide to go with them, do us all a favor and report back with your findings! Oh, and I recommend getting some eagle one nano polish...that stuff is great for corrosion protection while shining at the same time.

exactly..the ratings and reviews is what made me post this up to see if i really should shoot for it or not. The only thing is if i get screwed over then theres nothing i can really do and i know this price is without tires but i can find tires anywhere for cheaper than offered on most websites. I will keep you guys posted if i do though I'll be thinking about it 24/7 until i do it. and thanks for the tip on the eagle one will try.

Well, American Muscle (just for the rims) has 4 deep dish 18x9 black bullits for $579.96. Plus you get a discount if you go to the AM discount thread under the vendors section to get the discount code. So it will be even cheaper. Much better deal in my opinion to go through AM, because the sale and quality are both proven.

You can get tires anywhere, get the rims then go to discount tire and slap some rubber on them.

Thats very true so if im going to go without tires anyways why not just do it from a known vendor. I see where you are coming from thanks oddyseey

where are they made ? If made in China is the metal composition up to US standards ? As for positive ratings, you buy something from ebay, pay for it, the box arrives, you open it. Wow, nice looking rims, so you leave positive feedback. 3 months later the rims come apart at 80 miles an hour and you've already left feedback. Can't change it. I wouldn't skimp on; tires, brakes, rims or suspension pieces. Your cheapo cai goes bad and your car doesn't run. Your new cheapo rims come apart; you die maybe. Be careful.
