Nope. They could f@#$k up the suspension geometry. Maybe a good deal for your wifes honda.

If it was me, i would buy new, who knows if the rims are ever going to be "perfect again". I would have to say that a slightly bent rim could harm the suspension and make you go through tires rather quickly. I say PASS

what size are they? I would just tell him not to fix the 2 bent ones, he can keep those, talk him down a bit in price and if the tires are decent, buy 2 new rims and one new tire, then for the price of 4 rims with no tires you have 4 rims with tires.

Did you think of this. If he can "fix" them why wouldn't he keep them? To me, sounds like a saftey issue, I'd pass on them.

well, he use to have a lowered truck and he sold it kept the wheels now he drives a heap or something... i like the ideea of gettin two of the nice ones and buying other two new hehehe because i needed to buy 275s for the back ne ways....... By the way how could you tell if the back spacing is correct for my car i mean it came off an S10..




another thought:
I got another deal all 4 brand new for 640 dollars.
With no tires at all..(which sucks)


jm91rs : they are 17x8s
