Now the tires he has would cost $434 to ship to my door from victoriatire (includes shipping and california tax). Add $100 to have them mounted and balanced. (Tire price is $88 per tire)
SO,
$500 for the rims new
$535 to get the tires and have them mounted and balanced.

Total cost to do same new $1035
Thoughout the years, I've noticed on thing in general concerning used rims. They almost always suffer heavy depreciation, even if in like new shape. Considering the condition of his rims, the cut tire and depreciation factory. $500 would be a generous offer and he should be willing to negotiate off that to a degree. How he treats the $500 amount a loose target price will decide if he sells them or if they remain unsold. Things that aren't priced right, don't sell for a reason and things that are sell quick for a reason.

here are some more pictures.
http://www.ownerages.com/tire%20tread/
the scrape on the lip is prety small and hard to notice. i didnt take more pics of the rims because they are in almost new condition. the only imperfection will be the slight paint chipping off where the lugnuts go.
there are some pics that show the tread left on the tires. one of the tires have a cut. that tire will most likely have to be replaced soon.
keep the comments coming.
thanks

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....

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.

your claimed "generic highschool at most" logic fails horribly since your lack of knowledge shines through.
as for the pricing. youre not just a lowballer, youre a stupid immature ignorant dumbf*ck lowballer.
$200 for a full set of 16" rotas w/tires? are you crazy? "no one wants to overspend" no shit sherlock. but no one wants to give it away to some complete moron like you. try finding a used set of FIFTEEN inch Rotas with no tires for $200....let alone youre asking for 16s WITH tires. you have no clue what the market is like and just because your coin pouch doesnt have more than $200, dont try and lowball you dipshit.
you must be one of those "i drive a V6 accord coupe with VTEC" so im badass
youre car is fawking slow and weighs a million tons. woopdidoo you have stock 16" alloys. want a friggin cookie with that extra inch? dumbass.

And on another note...who said i was driving some "fast" car? I have a 4 banger LX...i know i'm friggin slow...NO DOUBT!...and i dont have 16" alloys....I have 18"'s....and no...i'm not saying just cuz i have 18"'s i'm all friggin that(i'm trying to get some stock wheels)...just clarifying your ignorance.
Anyway..power to ya....good energy releasing post you did there!
