This guy wants me to trade my 17's for his 18's Options

[amysmojo]

This guy wants to trade me my Chrome 17's for his Chrome 18's shown below. Should I do it or say screw you?? He said he was wanting to sell his wheels for $700 but likes mine & is willing to do a trade for my wheels plus a little cash. If I did want to do this trade, how much cash should I give him w/ the wheels? $100? Lol or NOne??

If you hate Chrome & dont care...please dont let eevryone know lol...I need some real feed back on what kind of offers if any I should agree to. I cant imagine how they would even look on my car hmmmm, just cant picture it!

Make sure they are in good condition and not bent. You cant tell by looking at them unless they are FUBARed.

Wow, those are pretty spiffy. Go for it! I wouldn't offer any extra cash, just make it a straight exchange.

[amysmojo]

Really Forkee? Even though mine are smaller?

[Mynzeyes]

no question about it. trade. those are much hotter than your's IMO. the smooth 5spoke is that new hotness. as far as extra money...just ask him what he had in mind. i wouldn't go much over 100 bucks though...if i even went over it...

thats what I was thinkin, I wouldnt want to go over $100, especially if he was going to sell his wheels for $700 anyway.

thanks for all ur input

[Mynzeyes]

u are sure that they are 5x100 right? (just making sure, i'm sure you've already checked on that?)

[BBoYRuGGeD]

go for it

[amysmojo]

damn..I didnt even think about that...this is what he said:

"the brand of the rims are LE. whatever that stands for . the tires are 215/35zr18 and the size on the inside of the wheels read 2 bolt patterns. 5x114.3 690kg and it also reads 5x112 675kg."

does that mean they wont work? I think the ones I have now are the wrong size anyway lol

no, they are too large of a bolt pattern. the holes are too far apart. . looks like the trade may be off. .

DAMN! oh well it was a fun idea anyway, maybe I make them fit like a fat lady tryin to put on pants that are too small...HUH? maybe?...damn

[Mynzeyes]

haha. well. if all else fails, you can always just take a wheel off, and try one of those..just to see...but from the readings in the wheels, i'd say the span on the holes is too large. .

[amysmojo]

Maybe while Natalie is down here we will go check them out!!!! Just to give us something to do

[playr158]

screw him he wants your wheels tell him to PAY YOU........

but i like yours more then his

[Consynx]

i definately like his more, they remind me of the AT Italia Inox that were on Tirerack, looked awesome on the 6gc...

but yea, i agree w/ John, GL pullin that off...(get a drill too! )

I say stick with yours, I don't like chrome, but yours don't look to bad. Stick with the 17"s
