    Hello, so i found these

    18" Verde rims 5x114.3

    18" Verde Kaos wheels, which were painted black and only have one slight bend.. "5x115 18x8 38mm offset and has a 74.1mm bore"

    He will trade me my ugly ass snowflake wheels in great cond. with goodyear tires, all have plenty of life.

    His wheels need 3 tires but i would end up just buying 4 used tires.

    They arent really the wheels i would choose, but theyre alot better than snowflakes.

    Thanks

    A slight bend? The wheel would not be true anymore thus causing a vibration...

    Well if it's aluminum it does not take to heat well, high possibility of cracking. It's not that easy you need to take it to a shop that can repair rims, but when you bend them you ma as well just scrap them.

    No problem, just making sure you don't get ripped off, cause i had a set with a slight bend in it, at 40mph or so it would shake like crazy.

    and if he is selling them he will tell u they don't vibrate to get the sale. As mentioned if u can take a ride with him and see for urself if they vibrate. My 2cents worth is.....if one is bent it is for a reason, curb comes to mind, I would continue to look for others

    Yeah that's probably a good idea, but here in maryland we usually dont get very much snow. Since i cant see for myself that they dont vibrate, becuase the tires are all worn out, i will just save up some and keep looking i guess.

    Thanks
