Seriously? $75?

I just scored a set of 18x8.5 TSW wheels, two of which have tires on them for $75!

The guy replaced them because the lips are "snow damaged". For $75, I think I can live with that.

Will post more pics once I get my tires transfered over and have them on the car.

Lol there are 4 new wheels. Only 2 of which have tires on them.

I am going to transfer all my current tires (because they're practically brand new) to the new wheels and am contemplating transferring the 2 that came on the new wheels to my stockers (if they fit) for a spare, and yes, for drifting if I ever feel like giving that a shot.

I had never heard the term "snow damaged" before, but that's what he called it. Basically they are showing a little discoloration, and some of the clear coat is peeling. Worse on 1 wheel than the other 3.

But even if I decide to have them refinished down the road they were well worth $75.

Once I get my tires put on them and get them on the car I'll post some pics of the car and some close ups of the "snow damage".
