Wheels too good (cheap) to be true?
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/19-C2...Q5fAccessories

Founds these as I was cruisin' ebay tonight. less than $500 shipped for a set of 19" rims with a nice lip? Anyone ever used/seen these? Seems nearly way too good to be true. Surprisingly they look like high-end wheels!? You could throw some new rubber on there and have a brand new set of 19" shoes for less than $1500!

Just from looking around on the net, it appears that these are decent rims but are heavily discounted probably because they're discontinued. I think I might have to pull the trigger on these bad boys...

Had a similar Stern set in 18 inch for a z32. Nice wheel but very heavy. IIRC around 35 pounds for a 9.5 rear.

Thanks- the weight wouldn't really bother me that much as I don't do much hard driving in my car so the decrease in performance wouldn't be a huge deal. If that's the only downfall then I still may try to get these :-) I've been searching for a decent set of 19" tires that won't break the bank. For some reason I'm finding that some of the 245 fronts are actually more expensive than the 275 rears. Strange.

Not a bad set of wheels especially considering I got them new for around $350 a few years ago.
