Default Thinking of upgrading my rims again

Hey guys, im thinking of upgrading my rims, as ive got my eye on a set of 20" Vaults. This means selling my current rims to go towards them.

There Koya Raceteks, 18x8 with Silverstone rubber, 99% tread on the front and about 95% on the rear, only been on the car for about 6 weeks. Below is a pic of them if your not familiar with the looks.



Im looking at around $1600-$1700 as they cost me $2300 brand new.

Anyone interested? PM if you are.

Thanks - pEtE

hmmm...its not that they are bad, but perhaps they dont contrast your colour enough for me. They would look better on a XR perhaps, just my opinion though.

Dish and black centres... The perfect recipe on the right coloured car. I wish I could afford them.

Good luck with the sale.

Yeh, they would look great on a black car or maybe white/silver. Theres an EL XR6 getting around my area with them on and they look mint.
The Fairmont needs a bit of bling and thats what it will get

Pete asked for our opinions, and I gave it, doesn't mean he has to listen.

Those rims would be the biggest PIA, you would have to clean them every day!

Exactly, those rims have class, the other ones are rather tacky.
