Default Is this a good deal

Hi I'm not sure if this is the right place for this but here it goes.

Im currently running ap1 wheels and found a local seller selling his s2000 that comes with white rpf1s. I asked him if he wanted to sell his rpf1s for my ap1 wheels and cash on my side. He said that we would take 500 cash plus the wheels. Was wondering if this is a good deal or not ? I still don't know the sizes of the rpf1s he's running I just know that his front tires are still good but the rear will need replacing in the next months.

Not a great deal if you're looking at buying new rears in the next few months. You can buy a brand new set for about $800 shipped. Id say your wheels $300-400 cash would be better.

Sounds like a pretty good deal to me depending on the specs. Most likely the wheels are aftermarket powdercoated, don't think Enkei makes that color stock. If you are set on white then it will save you some money. AP1 wheels are a dime a dozen, best case is probably $300 with good tires.

well the owner does know the offsets, the only thing he know about the tires is, and I'm quoting: "i believe they are 215-45-17 rear, front i don't know"

So now im hesitant on offering him the 500 without know if the rims are even going to fit if the offset is to big especially since my fenders aren't rolled.

Maybe I'll offer him 350 without knowing the offsets and see what happens.

If he can't even tell you wheel size, offset, and tire size with certainty, don't buy. It's not that hard, basic information needed before I buy something.
