if they are 2 piece then it is probably real.

You just need to rechrome the lip. looks like minimal damage. or just leave it.

looks like he wont ship.. local pickup only.

I see 10-20 guys will be bidding on this in a couple day..

Rims....

Those rims are a good deal if they stay under $2k. Which is most likely since you need to get them rechromed. You can go to this place in Gardena called Bolten's Rim Repair. It's where Performance Plus gets there rims rechromed and fix. I don't know there number but they're on Western Avenue in Gardena. Rechroming cost me $575 with two rims bent.

the ad also states that the rims went over some pot holes, which means that some of the rims might be bent and that is why he is selling them for cheap. i personally would not buy rims that are bent, but that is me. you might be able to get them fixed but then again, you might need to pay extra for re-chroming too. if you live near by- because local pickup only, go and check them out, ask the guy to go with you to a tire shop and put them on a balancer, spin them and see if any are out of wack.
