pags23 Posted March 6, 2010 Share Posted March 6, 2010 I got a quote from Wheel-Tech Inc. to fix a bent rim and repaint the other 3 for $490, do you think it is worth it, and do you think it will look good on my white 09 legacy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bolksey85 Posted March 6, 2010 Share Posted March 6, 2010 They don't look like anything special but if you have your heart set on them, so be it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2010Legacy Posted March 6, 2010 Share Posted March 6, 2010 no IMHO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmanaenk Posted March 6, 2010 Share Posted March 6, 2010 Purely monetary approach: what these are worth on ebay/CL in decent form? Do you own these/can get them for free? If the difference between value of these is good condition and repair + cost to buy if you don't own is less than 1-2 hundred bucks - I'd pass. 666 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bs Legacy Wagon Posted March 6, 2010 Share Posted March 6, 2010 not sure what brand they are, but how much would they cost to buy new. if you already had purchassed and owned them maybe its worth repair but to buy them used qand have to put additional money out to repair them?

coldradio1 Posted March 6, 2010 Share Posted March 6, 2010 That would be a negitive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MeoW71 Posted March 6, 2010 Share Posted March 6, 2010 Nope. Not worth it. I'm guessing you own them already. If it was me, I'd buy a replacement and than paint them myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bbc84 Posted March 6, 2010 Share Posted March 6, 2010 Nope you might as well buy a set of 17" rotas for taht price Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pags23 Posted March 7, 2010 Author Share Posted March 7, 2010 They are free, a buddy is giving them to me he took them off his car because one was bent. They are ACS racing rims and I believe they are 18". I was thinking about buying a new set of rims, but that may get more expensive to buy them, get'em put on those tires, and then onto the car.

Never heard of the brand. Probably wrong offset (looks that way). Unless somehow they are forged or otherwise valuable - forget about it. 666 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking about buying a new set of rims, but that may get more expensive to buy them, get'em put on those tires, and then onto the car. Still wouldn't do it. What car off they off of? Exact year/make/model. What size are the tires? As I said before, I'd buy a new wheel and paint them myself. Of course, now we don't even know if the wheels/tires will fit the car.

pags23 Posted March 7, 2010 Author Share Posted March 7, 2010 Ok I have some more info, the rims are 17" katana Zr5, they came off my buddys 99 c-class, but he had to get holes drilled to have them fit his car. The distributer sent the wrong ones and would not exchange, so the original holes 5- 100mm will work on my car. I had my mechanic make sure of that.

MeoW71 Posted March 7, 2010 Share Posted March 7, 2010 Offset is most likely around 35mm than. IMO, not worth it. A new wheel costs around $115-$150 anyways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
needforsleep Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 def not worth it imo. the work done costs more the the rims themselves.. or nearly as much. sell these, and use that money + the 490 to get something better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d1000rr Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 no... spend an extra 100bux and get a set of rotas in the offset/size/width that you want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
