depends on what car its on and whats the condition of each set of rims & tires but yeah it seems like a pretty fair trade

wel the tires are the stock tires that came on them from the factory and they have about 85%tread on them they ar not curbed or scratch they are flawless. i traded because i hate 17's they weight my car down and SCRUB every time i turn or go over a bump. plus i have always liked the 2001 gsr blades. they are going on my 93 hatch.

do u guys think i should leave them polished or go the gunmetal route? eitherway i still love them.

I sold my racing hart cp10's 17x7 for 700 with brand ****** new tires to a friend and picked up some gsr wheels from fowler for 4 bills with practically brand new ****** tires on them that lasted me a good 8 months until one got a bolt thru it...

that was 300 dollars to spend which I purchased my del sol seats with...

so thats a good deal imo.

well i only paid 600 for these 17's and they have brand new tires but id much rather have thse gsr 15's with good tires. so since i am getting 200 back its like im paying 400 for theses gsr wheels with tires. i think thats a good deal

i just finished swappingout wheels and i have to say these gsr wheels are awesome. my car response so much better it feels quicker, it turns a lot better and faster and the whole car feels more nimble. those 17's i had weighed my car down so much and it was so hard to turn the wheel now everything is so much better.
