my new rims!!

[Gee Tea Eye V]

so ive been talking to this guy for like 3 days now and decided hey im home for break i can go pick these up so i dont have to pay shipping! so for 800 bucks i picked myself up some oettinger rims with summer tires! hurray! they are the older model so they are only 18x8 instead of 18x8.5 but still very sexy! on has a bent lip a little but should be an easy fix. and they all have a little wear from the road but i want to eventually get them powder coated anyway so im not really concerned.

heres some pics of them...

Nice find......how much to get the rim fixed?

[Gee Tea Eye V]

i havent checked it out but looking at other posts about its usually around 40 bucks. if i get a chance this week i might drive it on down to the tire place and get it check out

[iowaboostin]

I love oettingers :tu:

[manguyen]

what a small world. i was going to get those from the guy you bought them off of. he just sold 3 of his michelin tires i think on ebay for like 130 bucks or so.... it had lik 90% tread too... 245/35/19's..... oh by the way... his friend was the guy i bought marcus' tail light from.... u lucky punk.... i would of gotten those oettys if shipping wasnt so expensive. if you ever find the need to sell them... u know where to look

[manguyen]

nooo jake!!! i just saw how much u got them for..... his friend told me i could buy them for $600 ughhhh wish i knew you were going to pick them up... i could of gotten u that deal...

[Gee Tea Eye V]

lol its fine, 800 is still a steal for the rims i really wanted

but i mean if u wanna see if he wants to refund me 200 bucks id be ok with that :laugh:

jk

[manguyen]

nice buy... i just scored me some a stock big brake kit on ebay for 200 bucks muahahah now i need to deal with my 42 offset of my rims... looks like spacers i will need.

[Gee Tea Eye V]

ya that guy i bought the rims from was putting the cayenne(sp?) big brakes on his s4

[Loccusst]

looks like spacers i will need.

Did you just turn into Yoda?

[iowaboostin]

^ lmao

ah, spacers you must obtain, yes

[Gee Tea Eye V]

lol ill trade u im supposed to have >40 offset if i want to slam my car and mine are off an audi so they are 35, they will be flush with my fenders, should look good :tu: but if i want to lower it ill have to roll my fenders and get some low profile tires and if i really wanna slam it ill have to stretch them

[DSV]

[Gee Tea Eye V]

haha woohoo! my dad says he is going to steal them and put them on his rabbit....

I shipped my stock wheels with tires mounted (~40 lbs each) and dhl only cost $18 per wheel/tire

BTW nice wheels

[Loccusst]

That's pretty cheap.

[Gee Tea Eye V]

yeah but cheap shipping vs wait a couple weeks and getting free shipping? lol ill wait and just pick them up from my rents in MN lol

Great price.. cheapest I've ever sent a wheel/tire package was ~$95 total.

Awesome Jake. I sold my old Oetty's for $1000, wheels alone, 3 ys ago. What a steal.

Oh, by the way, I was on the phone with a vendor in Germany yesterday, and got the proper pronunciation:

Ett-enn-gyeh (not jer or jyeh..... gyeh, like gay) lol
