Buying wheels on eBay? Ripoff or real deal?

Ever done it? Worth it? Or crap?? Can you check out these few auctions and tell me if those are a good deal? They all seem way cheaper than anything else I could find, even at a local junk yard. Not that I have to buy these now, was just curious, since I'm a noob in this area ;) Thanks

weee wrong section!

 

anyway, shipping for the first set is 60$, Second one is free, and the third is 75...

 

Just keep those prices in mind when you buy big items like that

Oops there is "Auction watch" but this is just a question, I'm not showing what's sold or what not, just showed an example... I am aware of the shipping costs, but the cheapest 16" wheels I could find anywhere were $150. And 17", forget about it... So, even with the $60 shipping costs, still a good price. Now, are they of decent quality, that's my question

I have bought some Konig Imagines 17x7 for the Fiero

 

And some Alessio F1 18x8 for the Cutlass.....

 

Buyer beware.... My Konigs had a good amount of road rash on 2 of them (that the seller said was "barley noticable...not) , and because they have a machined aluminum lip, my only option was to paint them... they turned out OK but, just something to think about.

 

My Alessio wheels were a pretty good deal, exactly as the seller described. Some paint fading, but you only notice it if your looking for it.

First set is pretty nice.... the second wasn't bad either.... I'm not a fan of the third.

 

As far as buying wheels off of ebay, just like with anything else, check the feedback ratings.
