brand new in chrome with tires in 18" including shipping?? hell yes thats a good price. that guy must be desperate for cash yesterday.

i would wonder if he's just ripping you off or willing to take a $1000.00 hit. Do you know him or how did you find out about this deal?

does he have a rating or anything...too many people have been defrauded while even using paypal and ebay...you only have to go to other automotive forums to see that...

but its a bid system right? so someone else may bump up the bidding?

It was a bidding but not no more. he personally emailed me. he has a couple positive feedback though, he said he would give me something in writing just in case something was suppose to happen. imma tell him to get it like notarized so just in case he is fraud i have that proof.

Well I just found out that the wheels have an offset of +42 and I know that wont fit my car. Maybe I'll just buy the wheels and re-sell them to someone for more money? but then again I dont really wanna bother with all that. anyways thats it for me looking for rims, i give up
