Keep These GTS or Get New GTS? or something else?
 
Well i bought some used rims, the rear are flawless, however the fronts have hairline scratches along the outter lip. I think they have been mess with by someoone, pretty sure the anodized clear coat is gone, i know that i'd be able to have them professionally polished or chromed, but i'm sure i could polish them myself, problem is.. No Clear coat.

I can return them to the guys, (he'll cover shipping), and i'd give me my money back. then i'd pay $370 more (then what i paid(for the used ones)) for new GTS's, but with TOYO's instead of BFG, which is what i was going to get. However, idk if VOLK prices went up or if any places have Gloss Black.

Or i could just keep them, polish out the scratches, and wipe them down every week. The guys will give me $400 bucks off what we originally settled on.

Or return them, and get new rims all together, thinking about the gram lights 57s pro, with titan finish. but thats $1000 more expensive.

Heres pics of the crap.

new calculations: it'd be only $216 more to get brand new GTS. with the toyos...

get new ones

new may be awhile if they have to be ordered..something to think about.

or take the discount and call it a day;)

polish maybe 1-2 per month..not bad at all..probably would do that
anyway

this would look insane!!!

ok, i don't think i can polish out the scratches myself, without using some serious stuff, such as sandpaper, and/or metal polish...

Gdup35sedan 03-19-2007 05:17 PM

just get some new ones. That would be MONEY if you got the 57Spro's with the titan finish and painted the spokes black... holy crap!

^ giving up almost 2" of lip though... and waiting 3 months...

aleok 03-19-2007 11:39 PM

how about some Te37t's black with polished lip? :)

optimystic06 03-20-2007 02:08 PM

definitely return and get new ones...not worth 4 bills to have crap on your rims...especially someone else's mistake
