I recently bought four chrome focus svt rims off craigslist that are no longer in production. I decided to keep my kazeras and throw them on my t-red instead. I bought these four rims sight unseen and they ended up being in worse condition then the guy told me. And of course, the guy I bought them from no longer responded after I received them.

I'd really just like to get my money back. Someone who already has these can use them as spares or they can be fixed. $300 + shipping

These first two are the best ones. No dents and the chrome is just barely peeling on the inside.

This ones chrome is worse and it's dented on both lips.

This last one has a slight dent on the inner lip.

Apparently the rims still ride fine and still allow the tires to hold air. The guy said he only took them off because he wanted to get them fixed and then never did.
 
No, two just have dents in the lip from the kid hitting a curb. Surprisingly there isn't any curb rash on them. The chrome is also starting to peel off because he used them in Michigan winters with tons of salt, etc. They just didn't receive the babying they deserved.
 
Any idea on how much it would cost to have them restored to their former glory? I've been on the hunt for these forever..
 
To repair the two damaged ones it would cost up to $125 each. You really have to call around to see. I have seen places quote as low as $75 a wheel.
 
840 Miles one way to West Bend, hrm, so shipping would be cheaper, hrm, Whats H-D-W per wheel?

Probably 8x18x18 '' box would be sufficient..
 
I think we priced out to California or Texas from here already and it was about $18-$20 per wheel. So figure $80 to ship +/- $10.
 
I've done multiple shipping quotes for people now. They've been around $115 to Texas and Washington to residential addresses. The lowest I had was about $90 to Maine to a business. A business address will help take a little off the rate.
 
He is out of the state on a vacation with family, it might be a couple days until he gets back to you.
