FS in NY: (4) GSR Fat Five Rims...
So I bought this off some kid who failed to disclose the fact that two rims were bent. One seems bent beyond repair (as suggested by Mavis Tire) and another one has a bend that could be replaced (depends on the individual I suppose).
The one bend was a hard enough hit it caused a bubble in the tire, and so because that tire needs to be removed the other in it's "pair" should be removed as well (they said the sidewall on the second Nexen tire was odd as well).
So- technically two rims of 4 are sound, and 2 tires are sound as well. It's a shame because the rims are otherwise a nice upgrade from the steels/snows I have on the car now. And the two Nexen tires have a lot of tread left and look aggressive. The other 2 are 195/60 Kumho All seasons in great shape and with plenty of tread.
I'm offering this up to someone who may want to fix the rims, keep what's good and make some use of what's left. Unlike the individual I bought these from: I am disclosing everything I know. I also have the receipt from balancing these tires I can show to prove the end result of each wheel inspection on the balancer.
So on with the pictures; they are labeled and I drew squares around the "bend" area. I'm not sure where/how to price these, I know a decent set of rims with used tires can go for $400 or more given the rim and tire condition. I'll work with a reasonable offer...

If all I get are $40 offers and a happy meal I'll keep them, fix what I need to and get them on my Integra.
