Either the seller has a bizarre sense of humor, or he has a bizarre sense of values. Definitely bizarre… ---

There are three other wheels in the ad, however cheap, aftermarket and of obsolete design are worth scrap value. People want to believe their wheels are worth something like what they paid but this is like cheap used furniture. ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/cartalk/original/3X/3/7/3757c6b868de259fb83ffd4cd58838c485660327.jpeg) ---

At least the seller made a point of showing a closeup of the damaged rim. It does appear that there are three decent rims that might actually be in good condition. Worth $600? Probably not, but the seller will get the idea soon and drop the price again. Eventually they will sell. ---

> [@jtsanders](#): > > there are three decent rims that might actually be in good condition. That might be perfect for the owner of a Reliant Robin, assuming that the rims are the correct size. ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/cartalk/original/3X/b/b/bbe9a8a0eb52718b6916218e3706a3ddbee00be4.jpeg) For most other car owners… 🤨 ---

If someone has curb rash on their rims they can replace as many as three if the other rims look as good close up as in the photos. ---

You get 4 for $650?..one busted, so really 3, which is $216 each. 3 rims with good tires, you have to buy a 4th, is it that bad of a deal? Or did he keep the other 3 tires…then he’s insane at $650. Recent Craigslist ad, 4 pickup truck tires, no rims, $400…all 4 tires shot, vehicle had serious alignment issues.
