Would you buy these wheels for $200?

Guy on CL is selling these for $200



Uploaded with ImageShack.us

The rims have a few light scuffs and 2 of the 4 snow tires are shot (very low tread). He seems really willing to get rid of these ASAP since he has been dropping the price every week on these.

I've been in contact and they are still available. They came off of his G35 coupe which he sold (Not sure which year)

I know they are not very pretty wheels, but I'd like to have a spare set to put possibly new snow tires on for next year as well as a spare set to use temporarily while I fix up my current wheels (paint them)

Are there any other questions that I should ask him? Being that these came off of an unknown year G35 Coupe, is it a pretty safe bet they will fit my 07 G35x with no issues? Or does the coupe's year matter?

I'm thinking for the price, I can't go wrong. Thoughts? They are 17x7.5" ASA wheels with Blizzak WS50's

You got a point there. As long as they're straight, seems like your downside is pretty darn limited.


That being said, I must confess I bought a good set of oem wheels (for another car) for 80 bucks thinking how could I go wrong. Well, they're still sitting unused in my basement, so there you go.

Thanks for the help all! Looks like i'll pick these up Saturday

So if it fit his G35 coupe, I should have no issues with fitment correct?

Don't know about the fitment but def check the edges for bends ,cracks etc. wouldn't wish this on anyone mainly because finding out what causes a drivability issue is a pain. I'm thinking that it will fit fine but may look a little off because of the size.

^ whs, cash talks and if needs them gone asap I"m sure he'll take the cash offer. Good choice for a winter set up. You may need to put some spacers on since their 17x7. Wonder what the offset is?
