VespaGTS Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 Hi guys, I have a 2007 LGT Wagon. I was debating buying Two used wheels (I have one that is slightly bent and one with curb rash) but the ones I find on eBay are remanufactured and full of welds etc... Does anyone think buying from a wrecking yard is safe? I don’t want bent or damaged wheels. What would you do? A full set of wheels and tires is out of the question unless I score a deal.

finallegacy Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 Hi! I have 4 oem 2007 sedan rims (5 spoke I think?) off my legacy gt. They have Vogue V tires on them... maybe 15-20k? I'd get rid of them for 250ish bucks if youre into that kind of thing. They arent bent, they hold air and i just got some wrx wheels so i took them off. Still have tpms too. I see youre in oregon but DM if you want some pics Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

landark Posted March 20, 2019 Share Posted March 20, 2019 I've had pretty good luck buying reman wheels. I've used wheelsanscaps.com a few times. I think I've replaced 3 of my 4 by now. It can be hit and miss, as one has some clearcoat flaws after a few years of light use, but overall I'm pretty happy. You'd probably have about the same success rate as trying to buy used. Make sure to buy only from those that offer a warranty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
