Default wut to do

im guessing this is general talk...

ok so i found some discontinued gramlight 57 bronze wheels, but i dont know if i should get them shipped to me because there is a chance of damage and it is discontinued... or should i just buy some gauges?
...they are most deffinatly the wheels i want, if i dont buy them now they will be gone and i will do wheels searching in the far future wen my stock tires are going... any feedback? and its for a great price... $2051 with tires

What makes you think they could be damaged ? I wouldn't pay that price for wheels with tires if I thought they might be damaged !

Personally, I would do gauges. What happens if you bend a wheel? It may be hard to replace just one...

But it really depends on the risk you are willing to take and what your priorities are.

Not that great of deal. I paid Gruppe-S $1050 shipped for a brand new set of those. You pretty much paid $1000 dollars for used tires, lol. I would of bought the gauges over that price, oh well. Either or, your car does look good.
