Would anyone have any use for 3 fair condition wheels?
There is a crack that's starting to develop in my front left wheel, it's noticeable in the paint but isn't all the way though the spoke yet. I think it's been developing for a while as Ive noticed the powdery metal residue leaking from it. I'm also tired of my wheels, so rather than spending $120 on a black wheel that will be in perfect shape versus 3 knocked up ones I think I'll just buy a new set in winter. Thing is, I don't know if I can even sell them, they all have some minor curb rash and they look like they need to be refinished, the black paint is off in many small spots and the clear-coat on the dishes is scratched. Does anyone have uses for wheels like these?

u can sell anything on craigslist, just a matter of getting what u want. people have one or two bad wheels all the time just like u. they see three decent wheels and one f'd up wheel and buy them to cover the one or two bad ones they have. black fr500's might sit for a while though. if they were anthracite bullitts it would be a quick sale for u

plus, even for my 16x8's i can't find a snow tire so i have to buy cooper sport tires that have an "aggressive tread" pattern. lol i wonder how much better my car would drive in the winter if i had skinnier snow tires. might even go vdub and stretch some skinnies on my rim. >.>

stock rims are best for the winter months. here in ny, my black 16x8 95 cobra reps sit on top of the snow. i'm sure 17x9/10.5's won't do you any good. skinnies are good in the snow.

i wouldn't call this shopping: going to tire shop and asking for snow tires, them telling me they can't get any in my size, me buying coopers because my tires are bald due to camber-alignment **** up.

Lol. Fair enough. I don't go to "tire shops" anymore. Their prices are a joke.

Well I got some new front tires and was going to get them put on today, but upon taking the wheels off I saw that the crack is much worse than it looks from the outside. It's completely through one of the spokes on the outer edge.
So this means can't put on tires today and I am pretty much forced to buy a new black wheel, sigh.
AM discount, anyone?
