SKperformance Posted September 4, 2005 Posted September 4, 2005 I don't think you will get anywhere near 1300 for them especially with no rubber. $500 is more reasonable as for 1300 you can get a whole new set of rims with rubber nowadays

I won't sell them for $500. That's $100 a piece. I'll just keep them and look at them them. :whistles: Thanks for your input.

SKperformance Posted September 21, 2005 Posted September 21, 2005 It is not the point of there replacment value but of there actual value .They are very ugly and plain rims so they are not desired by many.Most would buy them as a second set just for the tires.

When was the last time you actually saw 2005 ES 330 rims? These things are nice looking...they have more of a simi-chrome L center, five chrome lug nuts. and chrome stems/ with a nice smooth finish. These are very shiney alloy rims. I'm going to have to post a picture of them for you guys. You make sure you come back and look when I post the picture. What I think I may do is sell the chrome rims that I have on my car to my God daughter for $200 and do a chrome exchange for my factory rims because I really like the six spoke Lexus factory rims. (maybe) I'm still trying to decide.:whistles: I'm not hurting to sell them at all.
SKperformance Posted September 24, 2005 Posted September 24, 2005 Now that sounds like a good idea. If you like them but want them chromed just send them out and replace them once they get back.

SKperformance Posted September 24, 2005 Posted September 24, 2005 Most of all the best chroming places are in Cali. Expect to pay 100-150 a rim for a good triple coat job.
steviej Posted September 24, 2005 Posted September 24, 2005 They are very ugly and plain rims so they are not desired by many.Most would buy them as a second set just for the tires. ← opinion! I personally think they look very nice. I am partial to 5and 6 spoke wheels. Just today I saw a new 5 series BMW with a rim very similar, so similar I had to look real close to see if they were actually the Lexus ES rim. steviej

Did you see my slightly blurry photo of them? They are nice. B)
SKperformance Posted September 25, 2005 Posted September 25, 2005 I am wrong ,for some reason i was thinking of another set of rims. Is that the same ones in your avatar? They actually are not bad looking ,you might be able to get $800 for them. I know the bmw rims they look like bnut they have a bent out spoke which makes them look real strong on those ones to me.
steviej Posted September 25, 2005 Posted September 25, 2005 sk, the rims in the avatar are the stock run of the mill 16" 9 spokes alloys. steviej
SKperformance Posted September 26, 2005 Posted September 26, 2005 Ahh ,it is those rims i find ugly. LMAO

I know the bmw rims they look like bnut they have a bent out spoke which makes them look real strong on those ones to me. ← Hey SK; I knew I liked you for some reason :D ...you are reasonable and can admit when you are wrong Thats a wonderful characteristic! I put the picture of my rims in my first post if you want to go and look at them. I'm 80% sure now that I am going to send them to get chrome plated. I contacted LA Wheels this weekend and they will triple plate them for $400 or $417 if I want an exchange + $75 return shipping. That's not a bad deal. If I do that, I will post here, and of course you will close this thread right? Anyway, thank you for all of your input.
SKperformance Posted September 26, 2005 Posted September 26, 2005 Admitting when you are wrong means you can laugh with the people laughing at you. :) Get the exchange and chrome option for under $500 it is a steal.

This is a cancelled sale. I'm happy that I didn't have to settle or get ripped off!
SKperformance Posted September 30, 2005 Posted September 30, 2005 glad to hear as that is a much better option , thread closed.
