Guys, I am trying to figure out what price I could ask/get for my rims. I really wanted to go to a smaller diameter, and would in all likeliness get TE37s all over again. I love them.

I have:

Volk TE37 custom powdercoated satin black
19x8.5 +22 (255/35 eagle GSD3)
19x10.5 +35 w/ 15 mil spacers (275/35 eagle GSD3)

they come with:
1 set of black powdercoated Ray's lug nuts, one set of blue racing lugs, open ended, 1 set of blue ray's valve stems, flat type matched center caps

**they would also come with tires, but they are not worth anything IMO, the rears are shot and the one front has a small bubble. enough to drive them on if someone picked them up, but I would recommend taking them off if I had to ship it.

damages:

- there is a mar on one lip from some road debris, about half an inch long I would estimate.

- two rims (one front one rear) have damage on the inner lip from a goddamn car wash... I swear I asked them specifically if the rims would be ok, and they ensured it, but they were not. sadly I didn't notice it until the car was on the lift... oh well, live and learn.

the entire lip around the diameter of the rims are chewed up

what would you do? I can get them repowdercoated for minimal amount to re-freshen them and make them perfect again, or sell 'as is' for a discount.

what is a reasonable price you would pay for these (if you were looking and had the money) and which option would you choose for the damage, theoretically?

thanks,

Tom

 

pictures you say? sure! lol

this is how they look clean!

 

if you give me $100 i will take them off your hands. i think that is a fair deal

 

[QUOTE=Motormouth]pictures you say? sure! lol

this is how they look clean!

any pics of them dirty?

 

yeah, I was trying to find them but I was at work

here you go:




you can see how they are sortof dull. but the point is the color is great to hide dirt!

 

think I could get 1800 for the package?

 

you need red lips for those rims

 

haha, I'm not a big fan of that look.

 

I think 1800 is a good price if you get them cleaned up tom. They look good in person on your car..

 

ill trade you for my 18' Gram Lights.

 

You could probably get 1800. The 8.5 front and offsets are the only thing hurting a sale. They look nice with the spacers however, but you know how it is.

 

the front offset is a +22, as anyone else runs... not many guys run a +15 or lower supercrazyjdm offset

and I thought the rear +35 was a good thing, as a spacer allows you to run a lot of different tires that a low offset does not.

if you wanted to mount up 3x5 super wide race tires in the back, a +20 offset will not work unless stupidly cambered, but a +30 or similar offset would allow this fitment.

the front 8.5 runs a 255 and could run a 265, and why go larger if the suspension is setup properly?

(I am just theorizing here, not ranting!)

 

To prospective buyers -- I've seen them several times and those rims look hot in person.

MM- sorry about the bad luck with the wash. Good luck figuring out what you are going to do.

 

yeah, I just really don't want to buy tires again!!! lol, but I was thinking of buying a set of 18s, getting the tires off these rims and selling them for 1500.

or I'll get them powdercoated and cleaned up in any color for an additional 200 or so.

 

For a high power setup that may be nice. Most people prefer the +22, 9.5/10.5 front/rear (i hate the deep looking +12 fronts). Just giving you some feedback on what im sure you will hear from people.
