2nd hand sport rim

bo liao SG

i today saw volk, but the side scretch till jia lat as in bang kerb,the whold round..if i buy them(cos cheap Embarassed Laughing )

i bring to "grind/patch/smoothen it" will it chip off in the long run or see what they use to "cover" those edges?

Also the inner side of te rims got those look like chocolate bars,a piece by a piece (weights) had some drop off liao..

price is volk 17 inch "gun metal colour " at $350.....can buy?
really very cheap if compare to new..but of cos condition is Crying or Very sad

The outlook is not very important, wat that is important is whether the Rims are in safe condition to be used… If wheels are being damaged it will not be able to travel straight and may rob your car from performance.

if there are any chrome parts that are scratched...then it can only be fixed in Malaysia.

Else if the entire thing is gunmetal with no other chrome lip or anything...then it is quite cheap.

Of cos it maybe off balanced and stuff..but these are the risks u take when buying 2nd hand tyres.

Mine wobbles at high speeds..and it is already balanced as best as it can be already.

dun ever buy second hand rims, unless it from ur fren car or some1 u know very well.
u dun no the history of the rim, it very dangerous.
if they kana accident b4, they need to use very high temp to make the rim into the original shape.
this will cost chemical reaction to hapen in the rim!
after that the parts on the rims, will nv be the same again.

true, but if want to buy dirt cheap prices wat do u expect? unless its those kinda damage to cause the whole "rib" of the rim to be dented, i suppose those that damaged around the edges can still be repaired and used. dun tell me all those ppl owning expensive volks engineering/SSR/buddyclub rims "tumpo kao deo" muz sell or throw away?
