Advice needed

Postby zkeys » Fri Sep 07, 2007 1:10 pm

I am looking to buy some rims. Got an offer to buy some used ITP type-4 black rims that only have 30 miles on them. He is asking 200 shipped. However the one rim has a big scuff mark right where the rim meets the tire. It stands out a bunch and just worries me a bit. I could get some crappy steel wheels brand new for around $170 shipped. And I could get the same model new for $280 shipped. How much lower should I counter offer to him for these. Tires are not included by the way.

Dude - size that pic down -

Get the new rims and jack them up yourself - or consider the $80 you save for pre scuffed..

I bought mine used, about the same price and condition included caps and lugs. Unless you're riding in parades does that scratch really hurt anything.

If your name is Ken Hower - aka "The Gingerbread Man" - then yes, yes it does.

I'd buy 'em, no tax and still saving $$ off new. They're gonna get scratched and dinged anyway, this way, you won't feel so bad the first time YOU do it. :wink:

Gingerbread man?? This is the same guy, who wants to put wood filler to patch a rub mark on the INSIDE of his toy hauler? :lol:


Kettle.....Meet freaking BLACK.


Buy the rims used...Kendo's right....you won't feel a bit of guilt, when you scuff the other 3.

And that's 280, plus tax...shipping? Buy used.

It would be 280 shipped from Rocky Mountain ATV. Yeah, I will probably buy them. Bastards! Oh, concerning the pic, my wife tells me that size does not matter... :o

New? Old? "New" or "old"....heck, I'm confused. If you 're satisfied with your "old" tires, then don't bother with any NEW ones or "new" ones...and use the ones you've got till they get old. :)
