found these locally for really cheap. i cant decide on how i feel about them... would probably get them powder coated black or gunmetal if i grabbed them. whats everyones thoughts?

Not feeling it. Might as well use stock rims.

i dont have stock rims... i have some ugly a-- 14" rims from a ford that hopefully wont be around much longer.

they look like they belong on a ford. Not really "tuner" style, but it's all about what you think.

this is what i got now


you cant tell but they say ford on the center caps and there curbed beyond belief. (got them off a wrecker with pretty much new tires)

well what i have on 1/2 of my car, the other side is on my 2 full size spares as i seem to be a magnet for spikey objects. ive had 7 punctures in 5 tires in less then a year. i did 5 on 3 tires in 1 day :O

I can see them work, blach with a polished lip.

I like them. Definetly gunmetal or black would mae them look better.

I can't see the brand/ don't know the model, so I'd check what weight they are. Many brands seem to make excessively heavy wheels!

I dislike the curves in the wheels, IDK. Its just weird.

definitely better than what you have. If the price is right do it. You can refinish them yourself pretty easily. I saw a "How To" that seems like it would work very well.

Clean them really really thoroughly, use some fine emery cloth to rough up the surface you want to paint, spray on a thin coat of adheasion promoter and let it dry, then paint and clear coat them and it supposedly last quite well. Should cost about $25. They would look good satin black I think.

the guys asking $100 but i think i could get them for $50 or $75. brand looks to be "pcw" google brings up panther custom wheels...

these ones just popped up aswell. asking $400 with rubber. who knows how much tread left thow...

Those would be from an Escort. My 95 LX has the same.

what do you guys think of these? black ones im trying to get for $300 and come with 50% tread on n3000's. silver ones are racing hart c5's with no tires in good condition for $250. both are 17's...

I'd go for the back ones.

thats what i was thinking because they still had usable tires where the others needed a new set. but some motegi mr7's with 2 new tires came up last night for $320. i offered him $275 and he said he take it. think im going with them
