Need your opinion about wheels

Hello, I am planning on buying a set of ADR M SPORT wheels, with tires for $400, they're used and is being sold by a local in Washington. Normally brand new I believe they're $200 a peice without tires. But I wanted to get you guy's opinion about the condition and stuff of the rims first and if the price is fair. The seller lowered it to 400 from 450, so I think its good, but still kind of high.

If the tires are good I'd take em. They match your silver grille.

Too busy for me too. A tad on the ugly side.

Yeah I kind of agree, outside it looks a lot better. But I am going to think about this a little more and search a few more listings before I go ahead with the deal.

Thankyou for your opinions!

And IT DOES GO WITH MY SILVER GRILLE! YAYA!

Look like fancier Infiniti wheels. For $400, it's a deal.

And don't forget, "i before e except after c".

I'm not really a fan of the wheels either. And from the picture, the tire size looks wrong for our cars (does it say 225/40?).

Really? haha

To me personally it looks good, maybe I am just really RICE haha! But I took what you guys said into consideration and asked him if he could drop the price and now its down to $350 I wonder if he would take $300, considering it was $200 per rim with no tires new, I bet when we meet again to deal his face is going to be priceless.

And I am going to try on a wheel before I buy them, I believe its going to fit since I tried on a different Enkei rim from someone else with the same numbers and it fit. But I didn't buy the rim because one of the rim has major curb rash and its even worse in person.

Hey, I've seen them on an audi s4. And they looked good on that. I belive maxima and audi share a similar styling in ways. so I don't think they would look bad. Get em and let us know.

Yeah haha I share the same views but today I looked at them closely and saw that the tires were cracked and I wasn't too happy about a few paint chips here and there, so I had to turn down the deal. I mean it would cost me 120 dollars to get them mounted with special tuner lug nuts and then it would cost another 600 to get new tires! AH!!

And also the Les Schwab technicians say that they won't mount it on my car because it is considered a safety hazard and that it won't last more than 2 thousand miles................ NOOO!

If I was richer and had money to spare I would have bought new tires, but I don't have that much money to spare and so, bye bye wheels
