Why are these 22" and 20" wheels so cheap???

all the RVM wheels on eBay are always so cheap, whats the catch? other than the high shipping cost.

most of them are pretty ugly, but a few look real nice. i first saw them when i was looking for black rims for my white L.

Who cares if the chrome shines? Can you honestly tell the difference between quality chrome and 800 a set chrome

Maybe not when you first get them, but ask me that after 6 months.

I dunno, obvioulsy a set of 22's for 800 bucks is a tempting deal, but Id be careful. Any chance you'd buy some and let the rest of us know how long the last?

After careful review, I think that I have the answer:

Because they are all ugly as refried sh*t.

You know what they say about opinions, Tim. I see one or two in the mix that aren't bad at all.( I guess thats why they make chocolate and vanilla.) As far as why they are cheap could be for a number of reasons. I will say this. There is a huge mark-up on wheels. That being said, maybe this guy is hoping to sell a lot of wheels!!!

Mine are flaking, so next time I'll pay a little more in order to get better quality.

where you guys been chrome wheels are dirt cheap you can get a set of 26'' chrome wheels for around $1600 only but the catch is no tires,all of the auctions you listed are just for the rims NO TIRES..thats why there cheap..a set of 20-22'' tires will run you another $800-1300 depending on brand..so all in all with shipping for rims and tires youd spend somewhere around $1800-$2500 on a set of 20-22's...
