absolute barging considering they come with £2000s worth of part worn tyres!

If you bid, win and dont pay then they get a massive fee they have to pay until they can claim it back from ebay  :evil: :lipsrsealed:

He must hit 4 twice by mistake and hit 0 to many times.
I've come to the conclusion he has shakey hands  :undecided:

Well if the tyres cost 2k, refirb cost a few hundred, wheels themselves, etc etc, this leads me to believe the guy is actually serious about wanting that amount of money!  :huh: :rolleyes:

I don't know much about these wheels but surly they're only worth hundreds of pounds, not thousands regardless of how mint they are.

If they came with the van the price would be understandable.

WTF!... £2k new plus tyres, yeah at the time they were a dealer option maybe, that that still doesn't justify selling for more than twice that now with used tyres.. Also he admits they have marks on them...

If someone actually buys these I want to be their child so I can have their money!

That guy is a real joker!! Ive just found the very same wheels also WITH tyres but in the need of a good refurb for £200 or best offer!!  :grin: :grin:

i have just sold a set of those in good shape with freshly repolished lips. went on ebay 99p start no reserve, fetched around £200

i wonder if he is doing it to try and get a buz going on forums to get his name around.

i wonder if he realises it is just making him look retarded.


might send a link to this thread!

It would appear that 'Rimshine' are simply trying to get there name out there  :drool:

edit, a link to urban dictionary came up when searching rimshine...

   
A homosexual black male who trix thugs into getting their butthole licked instead of their twenties cleaned
"gimme a dolla"
"Hell no crackhead"
"Man I'll shine yo rim"
"Ok but make sure you get all of them AHHH mutha f**ka get yo tongue outta my ass"

I only paid £120 for mine with 4 decent tyres, they have a few marks but still very usable. They'll be getting refurbed in a few months time which will cost me £170 therefore still costing me only £290! That guy is seriously taking the piss!

Just received this answer to my question.

I said:

Dear rimshine38,

Are you on crack?

You're twitching over the 0 key.

Surely that price is a mistake?

This is their reply:

Dear Jack,

No, we're on crack..

i assume they are going for the "no publicity is bad publicity" angle, a la benetton.

i guess it has worked to a degree as we now know the name rimshine. 

but it doesnt really make me want to have them polish my rim

Updated price to £329. Bargain with 2 grands worth of tyres!  :grin:
