Well, seller is legit, has a good feedback rating...

Wheels are not hubcentric for Nissan, so I'd recommend some rings.

Price is super-cheap, don't expect them to be TOO nice or durable at that price.

Did anyone notice the shipping cost?I'd almost guarantee that the entire cost of the wheels and shipping is contained within the shipping cost and that the actual selling price is 100% profit.Jeez, eBay can be such a rip-off if you don't watch carefully.

I like this...

Quote »All wheels are manufactured in state of the art manufacturers which are ISO 9002 approved.[/quote]this just means that they do the right paperwork.

They probably weigh a ton. Spend some money and buy some good lightweight wheels. Boat anchors need to stay in the water

Jeez, I had 700lbs of laminate flooring shipped to me for less than that.

I'd never buy a wheel without knowing the weight. And if the shipping cost is accurate to the weight, those are some damn heavy wheels.

I think wheel weight will play a huge role in the performance of our cars. They aren't that powerful and it takes power to turn big heavy wheels.

I too am wondering about the stock specs(weights). Perhaps someone would like to take one off and throw it on a scale. Continental lists thier tire weight at 19.4 lbs. We could just do the math.

The shipping is inflated to save final value fees on ebay. The actual shipping is probably around $40.00 . The seller is getting $150 without fees. I've seen people sell things for $.99 with $50.00 shipping. If you get carried away, ebay clamps down. This guy is probably just under the radar.

Well now Ebay allows you to report items like this. There's a link at the bottom of each auction that say "Report this item". You should see an option that say "Excessive Shipping Violation". I done this before. I was upset that an item was only $5.99 with $70 of shipping. The item was only a few ounces. The next day the auction got canceled. Earlier this year Ebay finally realized that sales were suffering because people were make up fees and costs through shipping. So now they've introduced stiff penalties for excessive shipping.
