Hey everyone, I've been searching craigslist forever and finally found a decent set of 19" infinity rays. The price is great but how bad is this rash?

I'd definitely fix it if it was cosmetic only.

+1

Anything structural would turn me away, but thats just me (and SHIFT_COUPE). If you could get a peek at it with the tires off so you can see just how bad it is it might ease some apprehension.

Okat thanks, I didn't even think about it being bent but looking at it now it is obviously bent down and towards the camera. Hmmm they're only $500 with tires at about 80% tread. It'd be about a five hour drive to get them so I don't wanna leave without them lol Maybe he'll send me more pics of the damage.
