Default Advice on wheels

Ok, I was at a local car show yesterday and came across 3 18X9 chrome Rousch wheels with tires. The tires are no good, but the rims are in pretty good shape. One might have to be taken to a rim shop and trued, because the back has a small dent in the rim. Other then that they are all in pretty good shape. The only problem is that he only has 3. How hard would it be to find another one? I looked on Ebay, but could only find them with the Rousch letting stamped in the spoke. These have the Rousch lettering raised on the spokes. I did find one that was not chrome at another booth so I could get that one chromed if need be. He was asking $300 for all three with tires. Here is what they look like. I got this off Ebay.

The rims you have sound like they are 2004 and earlier Roush wheels... the 2005 and later are 18 X 10s, and have a sunken embossed "Roush" stamp on them (not "pillow embossed" or "raised" like the rim in the pic). These wheels are pretty common.

he's correct... however, coming by just one of them might be a little bit harder. You may have to look directly to Roush to order just the single rim and that could double your initial investment of $300. Look in to ordering just one from the manufacture to see if they have it and how much it would cost before making your decision, then you should begin your search for just buying a single one at a cheap deal if you can find it.

Good Luck!

I have been looking, but it has been hard finding any with the logo raised on the rim. And the ones I did find were close to $400 each. My search continues. Thanks for the info!
