got all 4 rims, painted black, with tires, $150 biggrin.gif ..tires are all shot but i picked up a cupon on wensday night for 45% off any tire from Yokohama + free instalation + free balacing + free disposal. The rims are 16x7 or 7.5 3 out of the 4 are pretty nice, theres one that the paint is startin 2 chip a bit, so im gonna go get them sandblasted and either repaint em my self or get em powder coated. So im either thinkin i might get a set of Yokohama AVES100's on it, or some Advan Neova's. Not a bad deal eh? The rims also have the center caps, but the guy i bought them off, didnt get the bolts to hold the centercaps on from the original owner, but luckely/oddly enough i know the original owner..lol
