Default Is this a good deal for these 19" ADR-M classics?

the guy's asking $750 shipped. The rims are supposedly in great condition with very minor rash, but the tires on the other hand only have 20% tread left. And they're staggered. 225/35/19x8.5 front 255/35/19x9.5 rear. Tires: Goodyear Eagle F1 GSD3's


what do you guys say? yay or nay? if not I'll spend my $750 elsewhere on an fmic or new exhaust or something....

Rims look nice, but bear in mind "if tires has only 20% tread left" Tires are expensive.

The cheapest those tires run is a buck plus, a piece so technically your gonna be paying like 1100 for those wheels when you replace the tires, and you will have to replace those tires.

i'm not sure if the 19x8.5 will fit our b5 though. i think 19x8 is the biggest we can go without having to stretch the tires or bigger hubrings. same goes for the rears but it's a little wider. the b6s have more room under the wheel well.

You will rub.

However can't you get those on Ebay for nothing?

alright,I don't think I'm gunna get them. I mean I dont have to replace the tires with te exact same ones, I'm sure I can find ones a little cheaper, but still, I'm gunna be paying for a brand new set of rims and wheels after I fork out $750 then another $500something to get new tires and have them put on and balanced and whatnot. Thanks for the help guys, I appreciate it. And 01AudiA4, until you mentioned that, I had no idea. I was googling the brand and couldn't find much on them so I thought maybe they were exclusive or something, but I just searched ebay and found mass amounts of overstock on those for like $650 for all 4 rims.

ADR's are common rims although they do look nice in our cars. And even though you get diff tires than the original ones, keep in mind that they're 19's so the least they'll run you is $100 a piece and that's for a crappy brand like Nankang's or something. Decent goodyears michelins or conti's will be arounf 150
