i think most people have given up on these because you have not posted any additional pics.
If you really want to sell them - post pics instead of lowering the price.

Whats wrong with the pictures on the link he posted? Try this http://www.elementwheels.com/proddet...fs%2Df14pb1885. I have a feeling that the dealer picture won't be good enoug for you either. Can you spell PITA? Sure you can. I knew you could.

Fact is, there are many on these type of boards that are irresponsible and greedy what nots that embellish the truth to try to make an extra dime. Many people have been around long enough to know that if someone is not willing to post up 'current' pics, then something is not right or they are just not that serious about selling.
Would you purchase these wheels based on 1 year old pictures?
See, what my interpretation of straight wheels is completely different than someone else's that goes through life with low expectations in everything they do or in a pinch. Been there too many times. People advertise tires with 80% tread but fail to mention it is bald on the edges, low mileage wheels but scraped up or bent, excellent condition ?????? but torn up, etc........
This is why current 'good' pictures are important, especially when something cost a bit of coin. Just about everyone has been burned by some low life piece of dirt garbage and we prefer to not get burned again. Certainly not accusing the OP of this, just we have no idea who he is just the same as he has no idea who we are.

exactly my point -- another point is we want to see the inside stamp of these wheels -- because we want to know which batch it came from -- older or newer -- because from what i have heard the older batch is lighter but not recommended for our heavy E55.

If you have nothing useful to add to this, don't add anything.
