Just bought a set of contours, rate my purchase?

So I just bought 4 Contours, 3 are OEM and one is a replica, two of them are in flawless condition and one has oxidization ( I think? ) and the other has some curb rash

But all together for all 4 rims shipped I paid 300$, did I get a good deal?

Also is there some kind of compound or whatever to get rid of the oxidization?


Thanks :) I'll post pics if anyone wants to see them

pretty good. a year ago a full set was going for around 100a wheel + curb-rash.

The wheels should have a clear coat of sorts that prevents oxidization. have you thought about blacking them out?

OEM Contours are 17 X 7.5 and 17 X 8.5. Replica's are 17 X 7. I dont how your set up is gonna be. You know the saying, "you got what you paid for"!

The real question is are they bent? Most folks, including claimed enthusiasts, don't look or may try to aviod that question. My rims are straight and true beyond oem specs but I pay to keep them in shape. To straighten them may cost btw 60 and 100 bucks.

For instance, I bought a set of clean contours from this site and found they where bent. I returned them to a suddenly confrontational seller. It's like I cal his baby retarded but they where damaged in my opinion.
