I should never have taken nice pictures and cleaned them up. They look so good in that picture.
I have them listed locally on craigslist for $1550...
Thank you!

Ugh first Austin. Now Jerome. Selling your sexy ass wheels. Reminding me that I'm broke. And want wheels.
I waxed the waffles this morning. They look sexellent; flashy. Especially since they're almost brand spankin new.
I also waxed the carrot.

@ waxed the carrot.
Every time I list the damn things...I get VERY indecisive about selling them. I guess since I don't really NEED the cash right now, and then I clean them and take cool pictures of them...it makes me second guess my decision to let them go.

since you got them for a GREAT deal, hold onto em unless you really need to cash (which you dont) or you need to make more room (which you dont) or you really dont like the wheels/design (which you dont) or if someone is paying you a lot more for the wheels where you can get something else you like

Anil...sure you're right...hence my dilemma. I had them listed with intention to cover what I paid plus the fender repair...but enough to motivate me to move them? Maybe not.
I'm reading up...maybe if I got some quality 215/40/18 and 245/40/18 on the back it'd ride more smoothly and feel better. Also, if I fixed the rear camber a touch so that it'd have more contact patch

well good thing you bought rims that probably won't lose its value.

THIS !!!
unless the rims are in a bad shape, the Volks/Work/Advans/ keep their value pretty well...depending on the deal, you just have to fork out $$$ for tires and sell for about the same $$$ you got the wheels
Jeremy, what tires are you leaning towards...from a lot of peeps I have heard the Michelin Pilot Super Sport are effin AWESOME !!! but they are $$$$....also I have read the Continental DW are comparable to the Super Sports and if I remember right, you had some good experience with the DW right?

I sure did, Anil...
I loved my DW. Those were what I sold on the Work wheels.
Yeah, you all make very good points. I might text the guy that I'm holding off on selling, AGAIN.
For all the reasons you mentioned Anil...Betty said to hold on to them and then search for the 17's I REALLY want BEFORE selling them, that way there's no time where I miss them.
She so smart...

You'll be back
Just texted the potential buyer...I'm hangin onto them for a while. It'll cost me a lot of money to get another set of forged wheels and upon my first visit to wheelflip...there aren't a lot of wheels that I LOVE.
Both these styles look good IMO and I like the ability to swap back and forth. Maybe I'll get some new stickers for them, to spruce em up a tad...new lugs, get a set of rear camber kits to give me the entire contact area and get an alignment. Then buy better tires when these run down.
I'm so indecisive.
Look awesome!

Meh still oem > te37 but hey you said you got them for a Decent price so keep em. I have yet to find some 17s I want with the correct offset as I don't plan to do any fender work (rolling, tab relocation blah blah)
J, in that pic, I prefer the OEM too.

Or, you can contact Mackin Industries and pay an arm and Betty's hand for them.

what's going on in here.
Austin, thanks bruh!
I agree, I LOVE the OEM, but you already know that we get bored of the OEM look...the option is nice to have.
The guy was really nice in his response...now I feel badly.

Dennis...the ONLY wheels I'd jump on in a heartbeat are awesome and played out and get scooped up as soon as they hit the market and look like an old design but still demands upward of $2k.
Fkn regamaster evo's...I love em...
there's a set but the dude isn't willing to ship and the rear he has is +18 too aggressive.
Austin, a set of those stickers is $28 PER wheel and you have to show that you're not trying to slap them on varstoen? JEEZ.
