Craigslist wheel thoughts? - Toyota Yaris Forums

Pitt Yaris · 04-29-2009, 03:59 AM

Well a guy on craigslist is selling konig helium wheels and tires with "80% tread" for $600 OBO. I'm gonna e-mail him a lower price...around 450-500 as researching these wheels are around $115 new.

Go for it!

Not a bad price. I'd talk him down a little.

I just got a set of new 15" Heliums + Falken RT-615s for under 700 shipped.

Tamago · 04-29-2009, 02:34 PM

offer him $350. the wheels are used and the tires are used.

I agree, offer $350, pay $400 at the most. Otherwise I'd wait for another set.

I'd offer $300 ($75 per corner). That's the maximum I'd pay for them.

i can't find shat on craigslist in ny/nj for rims.....

SIPNGAS · 04-29-2009, 06:16 PM

I can't, either.

ChinoCharles · 04-29-2009, 06:23 PM

I paid $250 for new in box Heliums. The pricing on them is really, really competitive.

I agree with the others. $400 TOPS.

Thanks everyone. Also, what do you think of that color/those rims on a flint mica sedan. I searched the forum last night before posting the thread and a lot of people don't think bronze wheels look good on flint mica car. I was gonna get black wheels or silver/gunmetal but have had no luck on craigslist. These are the first I've found that are decent.

Pitt Yaris · 04-29-2009, 07:46 PM

Here's another set WITH tires, but this guy is asking $500 and says "firm on price" so I don't see getting lower on these.....

I found a set of 4 brand new.......same color same size for $350 shipped, but that's without tires.

I literally just LOLed.

I mean, they aren't bad. $500 is kind of pricey. Make sure they have lots of tread.

they're EXTREMELY heavy...

ChinoCharles · 04-29-2009, 08:37 PM

But if he buys Heliums they'll break.

Like I said, I'd buy 'em. Tamago wouldn't, but Tamago is an elitest. He gets pissed at the grocery store when they don't carry JDM cereal.

I haven't really seen many flint mica yaris' with bronze wheels so I can't say. Also, those black wheels are super heavy, what about the first post wheels? I've been looking all over different (surrounding) citys craigslist and have really only came across those two sets.

ChinoCharles · 04-29-2009, 08:41 PM

First off, bronze on FM Sedans looks awesome.

Second, patience is a virtue that may result in you getting better wheels.
