awesome ebay rims score!! what to do though?

cgneon · Post by **cgneon** » Thu Apr 26, 2007 11:30 am

well, i have to drive an hour to get them, but no biggie, scored them for $1.25 lol

plan on sandblasting them, and painting and clear coat gloss black, or maybe just do the spokes gloss black, leave the rest silver... i need opinions..

or should i keep the ones i have now, and save em for backup, can't decide which would look better....

wonder why they were just a 1.25? If they are balanceable, or drivable I think they would be decent rims to make look nice again. But hey its only 1.25 and gas money to pick em up it they arent

i asked about condition and said they arent bent in any way, so they should be fine and driveable, tires are junk, no biggie..

local pick up limits your market on ebay, i just happened to stumble accross it, and said wtf, put 20 max on it, and noone bid.. woot!!!!

I would try and sell em for two fitty, and get double your money back! Score!

In all honesty though, i like the ones you have now better.

im gonna try and photochop them on there to get an idea... wont know for sure till i get them and see in person though...

I would stop by a shop on your way home and get the junk tires removed and have them check them.

Nice score though!

I'll pick them up from you for $2.25 and a Vibrant front strut tower bar!

They can make sure they can be balanced, cracks, check them for trueness,etc...

cgneon · Post by **cgneon** » Thu Apr 26, 2007 4:40 pm

quick chop to compare.. couldnt do them in black like i wanted, res not high enough to do it not skilled with photoshop enough...

FTWNeon · Post by **FTWNeon** » Thu Apr 26, 2007 7:01 pm

Kinda look like the Primax wheels I have laying around.

kornholio788 · Post by **kornholio788** » Fri Apr 27, 2007 1:02 pm

hey look at it this way if they are not drivable and dont balance or something i would clean them up, spray bomb them good and then put them up on my wall. Would make a hella cool dispaly for 1.25. Shit you could make a table out of them. Fuck i wish i could get those hell i would pay 50 for them and make a table and a bunch of stuff with them for my room and stuff.

cgneon · Post by **cgneon** » Fri Apr 27, 2007 4:20 pm

they should be driveable. He said he took them off the neon when he sold it, and now he just can't use em on the car he has now. So he crapped out goin ebay with them, my gain FTW. Can anyone chop those to see how they would look black? or would it not be worth it?
Im definetly leaning on doing the spokes gloss black, and leaving the silver lip. i'm liking the thin spokes more and more as i look at that quick chop above, plus they are probably lighter than what i have which would be another plus.......

yeah if they're not in good condition make a table with them haha

cgneon · Post by **cgneon** » Fri Apr 27, 2007 8:02 pm

caustic neon · Post by **caustic neon** » Fri Apr 27, 2007 8:12 pm

cgneon · Post by **cgneon** » Sat Apr 28, 2007 4:24 pm

eh. thats not really my style of rims, id fix em up and sell em for like 150-200$ to some ricer kid, then id use the money and buy some eibach sportlines springs

I agree with the g/f, dude. Sorry just my opinion.

scneonchic · Post by **scneonchic** » Wed May 02, 2007 4:54 pm

Id paint them and sell them for profit. Im actually thinking there may be a chance that those are my first set of wheels I had on my car. I sold them to a friend for his neon about 2 years ago, and he sold them when he got his srt...could be, could be

heres the wheels, or very similar wheels on my car when I had them.

KrackstaR · Post by **KrackstaR** » Wed May 02, 2007 4:55 pm

that is byfar the meanest deal anyone could ever find but i would have to agree with everyone else on this sell them and keep the rims you already have ...

def keeping my current rims, made that decision.. got someone offering me a decent pioneer deck and 2 jl audio subs in box for them as is.. i might take it, just so i dont have to do any work, quick offload. would go great in my girls mazda, so might have to take it..

and scneonchic, i wouldnt doubt they are the same rims migrated from SC to FL,.. wouldnt have the center caps would you?, lol... they def are exact same as in your pics..

scneonchic · Post by **scneonchic** » Fri May 04, 2007 3:54 pm

Yeah the guy that bought them from me originally lived in GA, so I dont doubt that they couldve migrated down there either

they still look like they are in excellent shape though, for the most part.

And no, I dont have the centercaps...I gave them to the guy when I sold them to him. Sorry!
