Thinking of buying rims, am I getting a good deal?

Someone I know has a 2006 coupe Si.
She recently replaced her HFPS wheels with Konig wheels.

She wants to sell the old rims, as well as brand new tires(less than 300 miles on them) for 500$.
Do you guys think this is a good deal? My stock hub-caps paint are starting to peel and they are starting to look really terrible lol.
(I also have a 2006, but a sedan lx, unfortunately not an Si.)

Here is a picture of three of the rims.

Re: Thinking of buying rims, am I getting a good deal?

Sounds like a good deal to me

a set of 4, albeit new, tires will run you at least $400. Also, looking on eBay, a single HFP rim will run you ~$150.

Yea that is a great deal! Those are nice looking wheels, just make sure they don't have a lot of curb rash or anything.

Re: Thinking of buying rims, am I getting a good deal?

She did say they have some curb rash, but she is throwing in a full bottle of touch-up paint that is matched to the exact color.

Hahaha, didn't even see that, when I typed it it said it was wrong, I right clicked and thought I clicked the right one, but apparently I didn't.
Yeah, Konig, here is a picture of her car

Re: Thinking of buying rims, am I getting a good deal?

So I just got the rims and they are absolutely beautiful. Each of them only has 1 or two little scratches that the touch-up paint she threw in will cover easily.

That is, with the exception of one rim...it has curb-rash completely around the whole edge.
BUT she threw in a brand-new, still in the box rim for no extra cost.


Once I get them on I'll post before and after pictures.
