    cracked rims

    I was offered a set of rims for $200 dont know what kind of rims, all i know is that they said power racing on them and they were hot. They came with a pair of Faulken z rated tires if im not mistaken or Yoko's. The only problem is that one rim has 3 cracked spokes do u think its dangerous to get the spokes welded back together?? maybe they might come apart again? and do you think its worth buying them just for the tires??

    and they were hot.
    That is never a good idea. Besides that the cracks in the rims are a dead giveaway to the previous owner.

    yeah ur right he might have abused that fucking car, what about the tires though i thin they were z rated faulken performance tires. Think the $200 is worth it just for the tires

    Buy them as long as you can replace the cracked wheel. You definitely can't weld it back together.

    Do not buy rims that are cracked like that. You don't know if you can trust the repair. And you may be forever out of balance. As for the tires, you'd want to find out what they sell for new and how much tread life they have left and go from thier. And hopefully the are a proper size for a 3rd gen.

    If you mean they are stolen, NO NO NO! BAD DOG! otherwise, the rim isn't reasonably repairable so only get it for tires if they are your size.

    And jigga, you sound like a woman goin' crazy over some shoes. :lol

    Fuck that shit, don't buy stolen shit. First off, it would suck if someone stole your shit. Second, you can be charged with receiving stolen property.

    ok, for the idiot that got all stupid about buying stolen stuff(i think it was 89accord nate) i meant hot as in i really liked them, you should have found out what i meant by "hot" before u started acting like a little bitch and started popping junk. Coming into to my house and stealing shit = getting head split open with an aluminum baseball bat
