Also...a question to the seller. How many miles have u rode on these wheels? Over time wheels do deteriorate in strength. Special materials need to be used to give the wheel strength due to how much metal mass is actually supporting the rim. In your case...your Rota i believe have 10 spokes....5 pairs if i'm not mistaken. My wheels are a solid 5 spoke. But the spokes are alot thicker in diameter than each one of your 10 spokes, so it makes up for the difference. So as a result....these materials have a shorter life than lets say "steelies"...which will last a lifetime of a car.

But i'm rambling....

i highly doubt you can get a set of used rotas for $200.

taking a rough guess, ive had those rims for about 20k miles. the wheels were bought on 10-26-01, about 1.5 years ago. you are a smart comsumer for analyzing, over-analyzing, this kind of stuff.

would you like to know how many hours these rims have been exposed to the sun.

i have a local buyer that offered me $400 for the set right now. i cant sell them now, but i guess that gives me a sense of how much i can get.
