thanks m5vt2
yeah i thought it might be a bit steep, i will try and get him down a bit.
yeah i know they are not the greatest looking wheels, but its only goin on a stock 6cyl vp that has gay lookin steel 14s on it. so they will be much better.
my plan was to originally put new tyres on vt berlina wheels. that was gonna be about $400 or so for good tyres. then i got offered these wheels so i thought i could sell the berlina wheels and then come out only paying an extra $100 or so.
but i dunno not sure what to do atm. i really dont want to pay anymore than that for wheels its really not worth it.
thanks for ya help guys

would never pay that much for 16's mate. you could pick up 17's or even 18's for that price.
i wouldnt pay more than 400 max

yeah i know what ya mean mate but i couldnt possibly get them for that. i mean 400 is what a set of tyres is worth the wheels would have to be at least 200 for the set?

I dont think they are worth more than $600. As VK said you can get 17's or 18's for a bit more

surly they cant come with brand new tyres 4 that price? unless they r from a really generous mate? wen ur buyin 2nd hand rims u pay 4 the tyres more so than the rims themselves coz they rnt worth much at all.
2 the OP i wouldnt pay more than $600 4 them aslong as the rims have no marks or gutter rash on them

If they have brand new tyres, that properly isn't to steep, If the tyres are new and the rims are not gutter rashed, try and get them for $600 and that will be a reasonable deal.

Even $600 is a bit steep, i bought 16's a while back with brand new tread for $350, and not long ago i bought my current set of 18's for $400 but 2 needed new tyres, you just gotta keep your eyes open.
Stock VP or not, itll look a lot better with a decent set of wheels on it, i'd say keep your eyes open and look around the forums or ebay, something cheap will pop up sooner or later.
