    to buy or not to buy.... (wheel related)

    i have found a guy selling a set of the ASA em9's here locally and im going to look at them tomorrow afternoon. There 16x7's and come with 3 good tires and one that needs replacing. Rims do have a few curb marks and dings. Hes asking $350 obo

    think its worth it if i can make off with them for $275 ish?



    same kind of rims Tdurr just took off his

    get em..275-250 would be a good price IMO..
    They remind me of Integra mesh wheels
    You could always sell them later if you decide to go with a different style rim

    true, i guess anything would be better than the 14" pacers on there right now

    cant i sand down the curb rash and touch it up with alloy paint too?

    Jump all over that! but get him down to $250. Wheels are hard to sell and I wouldnt buy them, if I was you, unless you are 100% satisfied and plan to keep them. By the way 16's look great!

    I was thinking the same thing. Even if they were 4x100, the tires are WAY too big for the 3G, so you'd have to replace all 4 tires after you got the wheels too.
