    just scored a personal xmas present, a full set (all 4) of some motegi dp6 rims for $120. one is a different color than the others and another has some awful curb rash (dude must have driven against the curb lol) but all in all not a bad set considering one costs 135.00 brand new. but i figure if i can live with the curb rash i will paint the centers gloss black and match them to the yellow and black theme i am going for, like so many others, but it works. 17x7 universal 4 lug pattern, all i gotta do now is get tires, install and balance the rims, paint them and put them on... hopefully none of them are bent or ne thing. but the guy told me to call him back if i have ne problems. here is a pic from a website of the rims.

    Seems like a pretty good find. There are places that can fix wheels (bent, cracked, rash) fairly cheap. Trust me, rash will get to you first time you wipe them down..and rips your microfiber to shit. Lol

    Wow that's a great deal. Are you getting them powder coated or leaving them that color?

    I'm painting them myself gloss black with the rim paint and clear coat finish from o'rielly auto parts... hopefully it will turn out good... I'll post pics when I get them done but it will be awhile before that happens

    Well I couldn't get black paint so I'm gonna clean the rims up real well and repaint them gunmetal instead... the only black they had was flat and I dnt want that on the lancer... but once I get them painted and put on the car I will post up pics... hopefully then gunmetal will look good... kinda messes up my whole black and yellow theme though lol

    yea but its pretty dark so from a distance it will still look like black and even up close i think it will look pretty good.

    yellow, thats why i was trying to go for the yellow and black theme. but i think the gunmetal will look good. im not really putting much into the lancer right now cause the majority of my money is going to fix my supra and get it up to the point i want it to be at.

    Re: "new" rims

    i might actually be selling them to help pay for my tattoo, it depends on how much i can get for them and if i ship them if the buyer is willing to pay all cost associated with the shipment. also cause i dnt have the money to get tires right now. but if i get some offers i might considering selling them.

    Re: "new" rims

    Hmmmmmmm. As soon as you get pictures of the actual rims, I might be interested. I don't really like the 17" size, but I might be able to deal with it. I was really looking at getting 16s instead. I'll think about it. How much you looking to get for all 4 + shipping?
