Racing Hart Type C

[otto07]

I'm just debating weather they are worth it.

All the rims have some minor curb rash and me being me I would have to have them all repaired. It's 150 a rim to repair.

So 500+600+400= 1500

And that's not including repairing the spare

Do the knock-off rims have dual lug patters? Like 4 and 5 lug? I know the legit ones do. If you can swing it, I'd buy both sets, just for fun.

[otto07]

I can afford both sets it's just that I would want them perfect and after repair I would be into it quite a bit of money.

I say get one set (I'd do the 17s) and get them fixed up perfectly.

[ThePhoenix82]

You could always get both sets, keep one and then sell the other one for more and get profit

[deevergote]

That's assuming he could sell it for more. It's a gamble when buying parts, especially if the condition is questionable. He may pay the asking price, and find that they're barely even worth that!

[otto07]

the numbers just do not make sense to me. If i only had to fix one rim then i would be all over it but the fact that all the rims lips have curb rash is what is stopping me. I can purchase a new set of these on ebay right now with tires for less then what i would spend to repair them all.

after repair and tires i would be into it at about 1500. and that is only repairing 4 rims and not the entire 5.

If you can get a new set (exactly the same) for less, then I'd say ditch this.

However, if by a "new set" means just a run of the mill (cheapo stuff) from your local tyre shop (in a package deal) then I say consider repairing them.

You may be close to spending the same getting a brand new (run of the mill) set or be a hundred over but hey you have the real deal.

I say I would rather be out of pocket by a little extra and get a real Tag Heuer swiss watch than pay only 70% and end up with a brand new knock off made in cheapo land (where quality is dubious).
