FS: 4 Brand New Kazera KZ-J Rims
« on: August 03, 2010, 01:54:23 AM »
EDIT: These scampered off to their new home several months ago.  I look forward to seeing what becomes of them.  Thanks for looking!

I ordered rims last week because they were on clearance at a really great price- $300.10 shipped.  I prefer the styling of my OEM rims, but these are similar and I figured they'd be great to have on standby if I screwed up the factory wheels.


They arrived today and three of them are great.  Sadly, the fourth is not.  There's an issue with where the machined edge meets the silver painted part of the rim.  It isn't horrible, but it is not acceptable to me.  See pics:










I called Tire Rack and apparently I managed to buy the last four, so they can't send me a replacement.  I intend to send them back later this week for a refund, but before I do I figured I'd see if anyone on one of the forums wants them.  I don't know any of the exciting information about weight or construction since I didn't really care about that and based my decision solely on aesthetics.  If anyone out there wants these for some reason, I guess this is your last chance.  Price is firm at $300.10 + my shipping cost  to you(I love foreigners as much as anyone, but am not interested in the hassle- sorry!); I'm not looking to make any money, but expect a full refund including shipping from Tire Rack if no one buys them from me.  Interested?  Send a PM with a shipping zip code or email me for a faster response: same username at gmail.com.

Thanks for looking!

Those are not the wheels that I am looking for but an indication of the size including the offset of the wheels might help a prospective buyer.

Reed, you buy those from tirerack? They're got a great return policy. When I bought my kazera wheels one had a defect pretty similar to yours, they took care of it.

Thanks, Critter.  I would only point out that the info above is for a different finish (they've taken it down from Tire Rack for the rims in question), so the weight may be a bit off.

The Tire Rack lady called me back a little while ago and offered a $59 credit if I keep the rims.  I still don't want them, but would obviously pass that on to anyone who does. These babies can now be yours for only $241.10 + actual shipping cost!

Reed,

That seems like a great deal!  Throw in 4 new KDW tires on those rims for the same price with free shipping to San Diego and I will take them off your hands so you don't have to worry anymore about it.
