Should I or shouldn't I?? grab these rims....

well i was bored and found someone getting rid of some Work VS-XX rims

they are hyper black chrome centers with polished lips

Fronts are 19"x8.5" +32 (2" front lip)
Rears are 19"x10" +26 (3" rear lip)

No curb rashes came off a lexus sc

he wants $2,500 rims only... originally it was $3000 rims, new tires and spacers but dont need spacers and tires are too wide for my ride...

do you think $2,500 is a good deal I'm debating if I should get these or just save my $ and stay with my current rims...... deceisions decisions

Do you have any pictures from him showing the condition? How long have the wheels been on the SC? I'm assuming still fairly new considering the price he wants for the rims. I'd say for that price you can find better rims, brand new rims, and tires for that price. I'd say no.

Or you can get the Varrstoens ES 1.1.2 instead and save the extra $1500 for something else

Thats the exact same price i paid off of ebay for mine shipped to Canada. They're almost the same spec as mine too. Mine are 19x8.5 +32 front, and 19x10 +33 rear. A word of caution though, you're going to need f/r camber kit set at 3 degrees, rolling all four fenders, 15mm spacers for the front to clear brembos, and stretching the tires 2 sizes down just for it not to rub if you're lowered. And I noticed your rear is +26 which sticks out another 7mm more than mine which are already sitting completely flush with the fender at the top of the wheel. Check out my thread for more fitment measurements: https://acurazine.com/forums/showthr...=813323&page=2

^ yea i know i think they would fit ok on my car... i have 15mm spacers on my current set up already so I can use a pair in the front to clear the brembos...

as for tires i was planning on swapping my falkens from my current rims to the new Works 215 on the front 8.5" rim and 235 on the rear 10" rims... rear fenders are already cut should fit fine and i have inglas sitting in my garage ready for install.. as of now without my ingals i have a -3 camber so it might work without even using the ingals.... i just have to talk myself into wanting to spend more $ on the car lol

Ch33se1 were your rims used as well?? Sounds like a similar set up just the rears are a lower offset on this set.

Do you think I should ask him to come down anymore on the rims or would that be a dick move... i know they are pricey rims that is for sure....

Namco I would get the varrstoen BBS reps but they only make 9.5" and 10.5" widths with +22,+12,0 offsets that would be a lot of work to make fit....
