  • Craigslist Wheels

    So I see an ad for a set of 13x5.5 mags on Cl.
    I tell them if they are as described I will pay the asking price of $125 if they will hold them till after work, they respond with a text saying ok and an address.
    Ad said 4 nice aluminum mags with caps and tires 1 tire great, 2 ok and 1 bad.
    Works for me, I get there and find all 4 tires beyond the wear bars, 3 center caps and enough brake dust on the front of the wheels to make multiple brake pads, the backsides had enough cv boot grease build up to lube a semi for a year. plus a few scratches and what not.
    I look close for any major damage, none.
    Tell them not even close to as described, will give you $40 bucks for all 4.
    end up getting them for $75.
    3 degreasings, pressure washing and a bunch of hand scrubbing later I have:


    Need one center cap if anyone happens to have or know of one.
    Shoot me a price.

              A bit late but here is a pic with the mags on.
              All you centercap haters should like it, the caps won't fit with the current lugnuts.

                I guess i'm just old fashioned, but i think the caps give the wheels a clean look.
                An idea can turn to dust or magic, depending on the talent that rubs against it.

                  I'm with ya on that.
                  Gotta wait to get the missing cap from evilbay, the cap costs about 1/2 what the wheels did. Need some short lugnuts as well then the caps go on.

                  But on the other hand if I sell my 3 caps on ebay I could end up with the wheels paid for and about $40 profit....hmmmmm j/k
