sorry that i cant get the pic bigger. just copy/pasted from a file my friend sent me. try to look closely at the center caps of the rims. one looks oem with then nissan center cap. and the other doesnt have a center cap. looks the same though right ? one isnt as shiny as the other as well

im about to buy a set off a guy who bought them from someone else. is it kinda odd ?... do you think these are like remanufactored ones or something. anything to worry about ?

just wanted to know what you guys think. thanks

The front looks like the ordinary machined face finish, but the rear looks like it's been painted silver.

Still, that's a sweet Silvia S13. I'd buy it.

About them not being shiny..the front wheel is kind of turned in and is kinda getting a shadow on it. Ask for a picture of either all of the wheels of the car with the same lighting, or just get him to straighten the steering.

the rear one does have the nissan logo, its just harder to see. and as for it not being shiny, that just means its not polished. mine used to look like the rear one and after i used some mother's wheel polish they where shiny and reflective.

this is what he emailed me with...

"I wanted to ask you if you knew much about the rear wheels that do not have a center nissan emblem. They look to be somewhat different yet the same exact wheel in shape? http://www.efnetcars.com/gallery/dump/axb?full=1 I do not know if they have been refinished or are just different from nissan. Anyway this would be the current set on my car which is in the picture, they do match."

yes i would say painted and sanded, 1) you han hardly see the nissan emblem, 2) look closely on the spokes, the front has a edge to the middle of the spoke and the back doesnt have that same edge in the middle of the spoke which couldve possibly of been sanded flush.
