    they came off a t5

    I bought a set with 70% tyres on for $175 2 months ago. That included hub caps centres and wheel studs

    Mine were pretty good. I gave them a hell of a de grease and clean with brake clean. then sanded them back then hit them with a satin black rattle can.
    cost me $20 to look bling, easy to touch up if i get a scratch from a curb strike too.

    oh yer when i took the tyres off the old rims, I sold them for $80 so total cost of nice rims was $115.
    I'd post pics but its way too hard on this forum.
