Post by Badger »

this kid around me is selling them et15, he says they are 17" but they are obviously metric. What are they worth?

They're "worth" whatever you'd be willing to pay for a coffee table minus the cost of the glass.

becareful with that kid. he's posting everywhere possible that his RS's are 17's when in fact they are metrics. he may have been able to put 17" tires on those wheels but that does not make the wheels 17's.

No matter what they are worth, the tires are super-expensive and not up to snuff when compared to today's tires. Are these the 415mm ones?

I googled the his description and the wheels came up on a vw board. He insists they are 17 but the numbers on the wheel show they are metric. Talked to him on the phone and he plays dumb. I'm not even thinking of buying them.

he started posting on a vdub forum, then moved on to bf.c and now he is here. just ignore his posts. he's not dumb but ignorant to the fact. at first he may not have know about them but after being told numerous times about his wheels, he just continues with his sillyness. i wont talk bad about him cause i just dont do that. keeping it cool. 8)

doubtful. 17" tires would be 15mm too big for these wheels.

they may be big but again, he stated that the wheels currently have 17" tires on them. i dont know and i'm really not interested in them anyway.
