Default Is this reasonable or scam?

I have the same set of these rims but I was thinking of getting another pair for winter since its cheap. Are these wheels reasonable price or is it too good to be true?

That looks to be normally priced to be honest, looks legit to me.

Seems about right..I just sold mine off an 08 for about that price.
If they're in real good condition prolly a fairly good deal.

If in doubt, call and talk to the guy on the phone. You'll know if he's legit or not.

if you get to looking deep into the ebay rules if no problems are posted on his listing and you buy it like that he is resposible for giving a refund due to him not stating the any problems with the product being sold.

Yeah..but what's a *problem*? Couple scratches and road rash?
Bent rim would really be the only legit problem as far as I can tell.
If they're sold *AS IS* then buyer be ware...bent rims included.

try messaging for pics of the backs? If the seller is a good one and serious, they shouldn't have a problem with helping out a potential buyer. Do all message transactions through ebay's messages though, so if anything is different than said or pictured, you have evidence ebay can use - phone calls and texts are touch and go.

These are OEM wheels how expensive do you expect them to be? Look for them in the marketplace, you will find a much better deal when one pops up. Check your local craigslist even, I always see these for sale and you can inspect them first hand.

OP, I suggest you search in the marketplace and you will see it's inline with current values.

I would get them. They are likely reconditioned wheels by the looks of them. If you were to personally go to a wheel repair place, they will charge you ~ $125 per wheel. I'd say go for them, or just pick up some used wheels from someone off the forum if you fine with some curb / scratches.

Thats cheap?? Damn, I sold my V2's with tires for $500 and they were in great shape.

Check the market on the forums, you can find some with tires for around that much sometimes. Always a good way to support each other
