Default axis shine or not?

Ok so i can get a set of these axis shine wheels for $11oo bux is this a good price? They are 19in 8.5 front and 9.5 rear. They come with tires with good tread and TPMS sensors already in them. Mounted and balnced and ready to go. They are in great condition, with a little curb rash on one of the riims but thats it. Should i do it?

These are used? Forget about it. Wheels sell for $1,440 NEW. Used tires, 50,000 or 50 miles are worth spit.

OK offer $800 and not a penny more!

The problem is tires. You cannot verify miles. 5,000 or 50,000? Pothole damage that cannot be seen? Patched? Market for used tires is non-existent for these reasons. Figure a reasonable price for the wheels. Zero for tires.

thats not a bad deal.. but i've seen better. try and lower it a bit - say $900-1000. since $1100+ range you can get a better set of wheels

Will i need spacers for sure? I want an aggressive look... Do they at least stick out more than the 18in stockers i have?

You will 100% need spacers for an aggressive look. Honestly if aggressive is what your looking for please pass on these wheels.
