Default Who wants to trade wheels?

The deal is:
you get my fuchs with old Michellin Pilots on them (good tread, very good tread, just old) and I get your wheels (not cookie cutters or phonies pls) with any kind of tire. The fuchs are in pretty good shape except for the driver's front has a bit of (excuse the lack of a better word, F$%kuppage) caused when I had to cut a lug off. This is hidden when you put the lug on, but it's there. The paint is faded and the lips could use a polish. The rears are different offset than the fronts, see pictures. One of the fronts has a small (1/2 inch wide) dent in the edge of the rim where the PO must have hit a curb with an underinflated tire (my best guess) but is totally fixable. I can get my family to take more pics if needed.

LOL, sorry but if that's what you have to trade, then all you're going to get is a set of phonies or cookies. Unless you're putting a lot of money with them, in which case you might get someone to trade you a set of d90's. Then you'd want to trade your used stone guards for a set of spacers. Maybe next time try cleaning them before you try to entice somebody to get fuched by you.

Woo burn. I'm bored, and not at home. I might have cleaned them if I had the time. The car's up for a repaint soon enough so thanks for noticing the beautfiful job the po did with the stone guards. Not trying to screw anybody over, maybe someone else wants a change of wheel too and doesn't mind putting in a little work to get fuchs? Personally I don't like the look of them at all, clean or not.

I have some 16" BBS vintage 80's rims from a 944 turbo that have pretty old tires on them but they are 6" and 7" I think I will have to check! I would be interested in a straight trade but I would have to ship them to you and you to I since I am in CA!

Do not let Kyle tread on you he is just jealous of your car because it has some nice options from the factory!

Your reply caught me a little off guard, I recognized the limited slip but didn't know off the top of my head what the rest were. Mostly cause nobody cares about the rest of them. Although I will admit I am a little jealous of the limited slip but,

Headlight washers
Sway bars
Rear wiper
Alarm
Sunroof
Leather / leatherette seats.

That is a rare set of options, all wrapped up in the rare color combo of Red on Black.

I'm just irritated that the pics of the wheels he wants to trade, look like they were taken after a weekend at the track, then a few more weekends at the track without ever washing them. How can you expect people to even think about it?

Those could clean up nicely. You just have to know how to go about working on them. Abrasives here, polishes there... Those could be lustrous wheels after some work.

That's how I got them, and the car. I'd like to slap whoever I bought it from, but whatever, I'm working on it. They're just old as **** and sat for a really long time.

Oh trust me I really dig fuchs, I kinda wish my car was early offset so I could have a set. I think the pics of the dirty wheel are hilarious though.
