Anyone know what kind of rims they are?

Alright, I know that these are Eagle Alloys, that they are 16 inches in length and 7 inches width, and a 5 spoke chrome wheel (Duhhhhhhhhhhhhh!) but I can't seem to find them on the Eagle Alloys website or their retail price. I am trying to put them up for sale on Craigslist lol thats why I am asking. Well heres the pictures and thanks for the help in advance!

honestly youd be better off selling them to a scrap yard for 25$ a rim.

They're not the best rim but they do the job. You people on this forum don't really treat people nicely.

Don't take it personally. I'm sure you're a cool enough guy.

Those wheels are the kind you buy at any corner tire store and they're heavy, weak, and cheaply made to be called anything buy junk by someone who knows anything about wheels. They're also too narrow to really look right on an FC.

Again, nothing personal. They're all but worthless to the people on this forum.

I agree with you, however, it litarally took me less than 5 minutes to find the model of those rims on google... Kind of irritating when people can't make an effort to search for themselves and need someone else to do it...

All that I asked if anyone new what kind of rims that these are. Not your opinion of them. To me they looked pretty nice on my Rx7 I just wanted some 5Zigens.

So basically these last few posts that I have recieved on these forums has longer made me want to stay on this forum. Thanks for nothing. I lasted a whole day before you people made me hate this forum. For the exeption of a few people that truly help you, most of you seem to be careless jerks. I am going to take it personally. This is my last post. Goodbye now.

I have made plenty of an effort trying to find these rims and have yet to find an answer. Since it was so easy for you how about you post for me the page and retail price that you found these rims on. Or you can't do that for me? Because I cannot find them. Instead I have to sit here and have people call me a jerk, ***, and curse at me with further insults. I can't believe that I am still posting.

they dont look bad on there

I really dont know why these wheels offended so many, for some to go to such lengths to insult and and basically be a DOUCHE to a newer member.
If you have been on this forum so long that a new guy coming along asking about a rim annoys you THAT much maybe its time you should step away from the computer.

So what the guy could not find them himself- SO WHAT

Agreed, no reason to be dicks to a new guy because he needed some help. He didn't ask your opinion on the rim or what you think he should do with them he just wanted a little help finding them. If you act like this it'll just keep turning people away and we don't need to do that considering we are a community and a small one at that.

no, he asked what they were worth cause he's trying to sell them on cl. I wrote what i did because honestly the best offer you'll prob get for them is $150, and even then it will prob take you a month or two to sell them. in that time you could have sold them to the srap yard for 100 and not had to deal with a thousand people from cl offering you 50-75 or giving you the run around. wasn't meant to put you down or talk trash about the wheels.

zack

Way to bash a fellow enthusiast... I've been a proud member until I read this thread...

Skinny don't throw out the whole barrel because of some worm-infested apples. There are some really helpful people here, sometimes you just have to wade thru some **** to find them.

Probably from the mid to late 90's is my guess.

Sometimes you might be better off keeping them rather than letting them go for low money if no one gets them. Changing taste/trends in time may not favor them.

Honestly they are a simple oldschool wheel, they may not fit everyones style & they may be heavy, but someone will buy them. Just don't expect alot for them. BTW don't let it bother you when you see negative & useless feedback. It happens, forums have alot of people with alot of different opinions.

the op couldn't find the rims cause they are not eagle alloys they just have that center cap. If you get mad on the internet you must not have much of a life outside the internet.

op 7club is full of helpful information. I study harder here then at school lol. But there is a bunch dicks here. Don't let it bother you though.
