[FrustratedMunky]

If so, can you do a quick translation of an ebay bid for me? :D

what are we buying??? :D :rolleyes: :)

[FrustratedMunky]

I did the online translator, it's pretty good but I want to make sure there's nothing I'm missing (scam wise, etc.)

Rims :D

Nothing special

He said 80EUR for shipping, finally someone that will actually ship to Canada. Little bit of dish too. Really low offset, ET13, E21 fitment I think, I don't think I can go bigger than 205/55/15 though, it would tear up the fenders.

Ideally, I'd want some Brock B1's, 16x9 all around, but it doesn't look like that's going to happen, haha. Like ~500EUR plus shipping?? There's a local place to buy them too, but I can't justify it...

[evo3]

Awesome, those look like the hartge rims.. I think? Lots of wheelin' and dealin' going on around here lately.

[Al Canuck]

Those are sharp. ET13 is an E21 offset, for sure. If you buy them, ship them, and they don't fit, lemme know. I know a guy with a NICE E21, and a wheel fetish :D

I speak German fluently, let me know if you need any help.

[Lobstrosity]

Those are real nice. They look like the mim's that a lot of UK guys run. I love the spokes with the little dish like that. Too bad they aren't made in any bigger diameters (at least, not that I have seen).

[FrustratedMunky]

Yeah I know :( But what can you do, hopefully they'll close at less than 400CAD (the last one I was watching closed just above 100EUR, so about 150CAD plus shipping)

Vince, I'm going to link you to the ebay.de bid, and if you could just tell me briefly if theres anything I should know that I might not have gotten from the online translation, that would be awesome.

Also he said...

Ja wäre möglich,kostet aber min. 80? Versand!! Mfg

I'm assuming it says "shipping is 80"?

Also, does it come with tires? Any curbage that he says?

Thanks man

[Lobstrosity]

Here's the tire info from the auction:

Reifen: 195/50 R15 / 82V ( 2 x Avon ZV-3 / 2 x Semperit Direction Sport)

Profil: 2 x ca. 30-40% (3 - 3,5mm) / 2 x 50% (einseitig abgefahren)

so 195/50R15 Avon ZV-3s on two wheels, 195/50R15 Semperit Direciton Sport on the others. I haven't heard of either of those brands :S But possibly better than nothing. About 50% remaining on all.

80 euros shipping is good, especially with tires.

[FrustratedMunky]

Thanks man! I'm going to have to get 205's though, 195 is a little too dinky.

I'll keep you guys posted if I win the bid.

[VtwinVince]

He's saying that shipping is possible, but it will cost a minimum of 80 euros, so maybe more? They come with tires, so you might save on shipping by just getting the rims, if possible. He says they've been painted once before, and have some chips from stones, but are in good shape, nothing about curb rash. Keep in mind that when the Germans say something is just okay, it's usually really good by our standards.

[edwinelisia]

lets join FrustatedMonkey on bidding...

[FrustratedMunky]

LOL

Uh oh, it's more than 100EUR now...

[Darren318is]

Hey Chad, I have a friend that imported land rover parts from England and when they got here the customs dept. ordered the non DOT approved tires slashed before he could pick them up. SO I would not pay for the shipping weight of the tires as they might have them destroyed when they get here.

[FrustratedMunky]

Oh nice, thanks good to know.

I sent him a PM to find out exactly how much it'll cost without tires, hopefully he'll reply to me in time.

If he doesn't, I'm going to just pay 80EUR and if he wants more, I'm going to dispute it or something, LOL.

[FrustratedMunky]

Okay I don't know if any of you will reply to this in time, but what does this mean:

Hallo!! Kostet ohne Reifen 45? pro Paket mit zwei Felgen,also 90?!! Mfg

?

I think he says that each package is going to cost 45(euro?) to ship and that there will be 2 packages (2 rims each package), so therefore 90 euro total. This is without tires.

Someone please chime in aha.

[VtwinVince]

Correct, shipping will be 90 euros without rubber.
