1998 S70 T5 - Opinion On 16" Rims

Post by MoVolvos »

**

Picture of my car on Craigslist over 1.5 plus years ago. Are those rim unsellable if they have some curb rash, dirty and water spots? Should the tires be removed? Thanks for any input.

Curb rash just factors into the price. Personally, I wouldn't buy wheels with curb rash but I'm a bit OCD.

Removing the tires will allow you to ship them cheaper. If the tires are worn out - pull them. If they're usable - leave 'me on.

Yes, they seem like a lot of work to clean up and the tires are have tread but very old and should be removed. Thanks.

Thought Perfos being the stock T5 wheels would be the preferred? Which is or are considered the sought after rims.

They're fine, a bit boring but fine, but still not worth that much unless they're literally brand new
I just sold a set that were "OK" for $150

I just looked over my Craigslist Ad again and I advertised them as Colombia's rather than Perfos. Looks about the same?
