Question

OK so as you probably all know by now (with all my questions) i'm lookin at a new set of wheels. I'm getting a pretty smoking deal on these wheels and im about 80% sure all is legit heh. I'm currenlty waiting for buddy to email me back on this but in you professional opinions:is that just dirt around the center of each wheel or is that gouges n scrapes?

I'm leaning towards dirt just caused that'd be quite the scratch/gouge and strange that it's on all 4 wheels. But i need some reassurance.

see wheels here

Looks to me like the protective coating has worn at the centres and the metal is starting to oxidize.

^Pretty normal stuff.

I'd suggest getting them polished along with no protective coating.

I'm serious.

Then every couple months just take a wet SOS pad to the wheels to take thre brake dust off.

hmm you say it's generally $75 to have a wheel refinished.


He'd sell me those 4+ 1 good wheel for $125 i believe, then it'd be min 80 shipping hmmm....
