Hello hai,
Just browsing through eBay looking at 'Subaru Rims' as i'll be keeping an eye out for some shoes for the OUTBACK over the next year or so
http://cgi.ebay.com/...ht_12839wt_1165
I saw this and it seems quite cheap? The only thing i really understand with rims is the " diameter and studs, is that cheap or is it some
dodgy fake? Perhaps different dimensions alter the price heavily?

Don't freak, i'd put something more like these on the OBK
http://cgi.ebay.com/...es#ht_685wt_939

Thanks in advance for anyone's wisdom!

Why are the First Ones So Cheap?

[aekOne]

the first ones are cheap because they're unbranded and would be a cheaply produced cast alloy rims probably made in india, china, taiwan etc (there are some ok products coming out of these countries but also a lot of questionable ones). i would be very cautious buying wheels such as those as don't know anything about them or the company that makes them. structural integrity, materials, qc etc would all be questionable. they may be ok but i would be staying well away from them.

If you scroll down, you'll see that's the price for 1-rim

I like the second set though, Steve. Will suit the clean Pearl White of your Outback best.

Ah thanks Aek,
And Shivy even so, the set for $400 seems cheap lol, but as Aek said...
Yeah i really like them second ones but wont have the loot for rims for a while. =/
