Would you buy this wheel/rim package deal? Options

[amysmojo]

My friend bought these for like 2k altogether. He used them for 6 months then got a different car & doesn't want these anymore. He said if I want them I can have them for $200 - 300. The wheels alone were like $230 a piece....

I'm not sure I'd like them on my car. Before I saw them I was hoping they were going to look more like Coomer's rims ahhh well. I have time to think about it...!

I know some of you have rims like these, so if possible could you post pics of ur cars w/ these rims? thanks!!

they are 17's

[fastcelica20]

no chrome plz!

[celiracer]

I like the ones you have now then them ones.

[Coomer]

I like those wheels more than your current chrome ones. I'd buy them if the tires are good...that's a great price.

[DSRT-FX]

i would purchase them for the cheap price and if you dont like it, just sell them to get some profit. im sure ppl would want them. i like these rims better than the ones you have also.. not a fan of bling bling chrome -R

[sanchezian16]

just buy for the price and like mentioned above u could always sell for profit

[kamax]

those rims dont look chromo to me, just the lips, and yeah... way better then your current rims =p

[DeW_H0e_GT]

get em......the adr sukudos looks nice.....especially the black ones....

[tomazws]

Are they brand names? They don't look like would cost $2000 at all... looks kinda bleh... But if you're talking about $200, just buy them and resell somewhere else if you don't like'em.

[Hanyo]

why not install them and see how it looks on your car?

[Silver94CelicaOw...]

Yeah thats just a copy of the 10 spoke Volk wheels with the studs in them, definately not an original that costs even close to that ammount. (you can see a logo on the spoke- Volk only has their name on the center cap.)

Regardless thats still a very good deal on those wheels, and im sure they'd look great.

Heres mywhite94celicagt's car with a similar design-

He lives a couple hours away, maybe I can talk him in to bringing them down

Yeah I didnt think they looked like they cost 2K either even if the tires cost $230 a piece. I'll ask him though. He said they are a gun metal color but look more silver in the pics....

Ill ask him what brand they are! Maybe he will trade me...mine for his yeah right...

thanks for posting the pic! Ill double check on how much they were...either he was just trying to impress me....OR he doesnt know what he is talking about haha...or he is telling the truth? dunno, Ill check it out

[amysmojo]

OK I asked him! this is his reply hmmm:

"tires are Toyo Proxis 4 (All weather) Z rateds. The rims are Sokudo
10's 17inch I paid 235 per tire and I think 190 ish per rim. Im not
100% exactly sure on those numbers but I know the grand total came out
to almost $2000 after tax"

[amysmojo]

Here is a better picture, showing the gunmetal color that they actually are:

[j0e_p3t]

[Coomer]

What shape are the tires in? Maybe you should buy them and trade me...I could use new wheels.

Hmmm as far as I know they are in great shape, he used them for 6 months then got a different car.

[amysmojo]

Its been a while since I posted in here...I finally have some play money & was thinking about buying these again. The guy still has them *wooo* & I can keep my current ones for back up or whatever.

So if I get them....ill be rollin w/ these mua hahaha, nothing special! but it will be a nice change from the chrome plus I dont want to pass up a good offer

[celiracer]

Well then hurry up and get them put them on and post pics so we can all see which ones look better on your car.

[tomazws]

Pics.

[amysmojo]

Pics.

He lives 1 & 1/2 hours away so if I get them it wont be until tomorrow or Sunday

I had him send me the info on them.... im pretty sure these will fit

ADR Sokudo-10 17inch rims
Toyo Proxes 4 215/45/17 Z rated tires

[slvr_celica_GT_8...]

i like ur current wheels better keep those ones, they look good on ur car

[eggman40]

get them! they look really good and youll feel better about changing the look of your car. Any small changes you make always make your car feel new again! And they look nice. Id say give them a try!

[Jdog1385]

looks good. go for it.

I think I will!...But first I have to sell mine so I can buy the others, I wonder how much I could get for mine? hmmmmm

these are the current rims:

that pic is hot as hell dont sell

[amysmojo]

thanks Jdog & no worries Im keeping my current wheels whether I buy the other ones or not. Still waiting from my friend for a final price...I think it will be fun to be able to change wheels when ever i feel like it! I have had the same ones for 3 years now. . . they came with my car when I bought it.

[Silver94CelicaOw...]

Hit that deal up Amy! Variety with your wheels = fun. I like the way you're car looks now also, but having a choice between two sets of looks for your car is pimp.

[amysmojo]

*sigh* well he finally gave me a price...600! I asked him what happened to the 300 range and he said he only gave me that price at the time cause he thought we were going to start dating... what an ahole. So no new rims for me... grrr. What a waste, they just sit in his garage. He doesnt need that much money anyway, his work pays for his place to live and his cell phone bill too. Oh well...

[Negative]

No big loss. Kinda d*ckish thing to do and say though. You're current rims look really good and I don't usually like chrome - especially on Celicas. Were you even sure they were 5x100 anyway? That may make you feel better about losing the deal.

[celiracer]

No big loss. I'm sure you'll get some better ones anyways. Your current rims do look good i don't like chrome on celicas but yours look good.
