Default Are these rims too expensive?(edited)

I was going to do buy it now for 500 and get free shipping for my father. I don't care about the tires, b/c i already have a new set for my father. He just wants strong 16's for his a6 b/c 2 of his rims got bent after my brother went over a curb and hit a curb and now his car vibrates like a bastard.

Figured bbs would be good.

Yay? Nay?

Oh yah he wanted to spend about 500-550 tops

Thanks<ul><li><a href="http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&amp;rd=1,1&amp;item=8032048 059&amp;sspagename=STRK%3AMEWA%3AIT">http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&amp;rd=1,1&amp;item=8032048 059&amp;sspagename=STRK%3AME

Default Be carefull with those guys. The rims may be new but the tires will be very questionable.

I purchased a set of Borbet wheels and tires from them in late summer this past year. While the wheels were new, one had a 6" long deep scratch on it. The tires were to have "400 miles on them". Well, the tires were shaved! New they were supposed to have 11/32", these came with 4/32" but still looked new. I couldn't believe it. When I called and asked them about it, the guy said that the tires have 400 miles on them. I paid $600.00 with free shipping so I thought is was a really great deal. They guy offered me $100.00 to keep them, but with the huge scratch I said no. He did refund my money and paid for the return shipping in the end without too much fuss. I don't know, maybe my experience with them is rare, but nonetheless, it happend.

Default they will bend just as easy..

bend easier as opposed to a wheel with a flush spoke and lip design, they are nice and light however and should look great.
