Craigslist wheel thoughts?

[Pitt Yaris]

I guess if need be, I could always paint those wheels in the original post if I felt bronze didn't look good. I guess I should first see if this guy is willing to go as low as 350-400.

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

Right, I've been browsing for about 2-3 weeks. I'd just like to get a pair so I actually use them since i'll most likely swap steelies out when winter comes around.

Hmm, I'm gonna e-mail this guy 350 to see what he says. I doubt he's gonna go from 600 to 350 but who knows.

If anyone reading this thread finds a good deal on bronze or black wheels/tire combos for under $400 bucks, I'd greatly appreciate a pm or a post in this thread. Thanks greatly.

I agree with the others. $400 TOPS.

Can I ask where you got them? On a website or craigslist/ebay?

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 own wheels built in the UK.... you're confusing me with someone else

[Tamago]

http://www.wheelmax.com/cartMrF.asp?AProdSKU= does that work?

[Pitt Yaris]

Opinions......

[kimona]

None of the above. And, I wouldn't buy from WheelMax.

if your entire goal is to not spend money, pick the one YOU like.

remember, your next set of tires are going to cost more than the wheels.. so why not get good wheels to begin with (and no, i'm not talking about $400 volks)

My goal isn't to not spend money, but some of us are on a budget. I want something better than steelies. There's never gonna be a time when I'm gonna be able to spend 1,000 bucks on wheels and tires so that's why I stated I'm on a budget. I use my car as a daily driver so I feel no reason to get $800 wheels or $600 tires.

i agree with you, and by "no money" i meant what you're looking to spend now.

a reputable wheel/tire combo (NEW) won't run over $800. so yes, that's more than you want to spend, but keep in mind, almost HALF of that is going toward tires (which is an expendable item) so it'd be a good idea to get a good wheel that will last (and you'll like) through another set of reputable tires.

for instance

http://www.good-win-racing.com/Mazda...t/61-0167.html

or 4 of these http://www.good-win-racing.com/Mazda...61-030023.html

plus tires.

I guess I'll have to just keep on searching. I'm in college now so I only work part time and it's draining the money out of me. Plus with the economy I don't want to blow too much of my savings on wheels/tires so that's why I'm on a budget. I'll keep searching but if anyone finds or plans to sell their wheels/tires, pm me.

That's what I was going to recommend, or Scionlife (lol) for your area for some decent deals.
