Well everyone knows the saying "If it seems to good to be true then it probably is" but I'm just not sure about this auction.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/e...TRK%3AMEWA%3AIT

The price may go up in last hour and a half but it started really low and when I calculated the shipping it was only $17.10 from Indiana to New York. That's for 4 wheels!! What would you guys do?

shipping has to cost more than that.......... it may be legit but he hasnt purchased or sold high value items taht are available for viewing........

$335 (as of right now) for OEM wheels he probably took right off his own car? Nah, I doubt it would be a scam. I've seen OEM wheels for my Subaru sell for $200 with tires a few times. Maybe you should go look at a Nissan Maxima message board and see how much people are selling there's for. You might even find it cheaper and closer there.

why do you want them, they are kinda blah.

but, yeah, a maxima board can get you a better deal, and more info.

are you sure you calculated right? it seems like a big package to be paying only that little....

did the seller ask you to find your own shipping rate? maybe you should get more clarification on the cost to be safe

I actually want them for my 2001 Infiniti I30 which is pretty much the same car as the Maxima. The wheels that came on my car are even more blah. They almost look like hubcaps. I didn't bid on them anyway but now I'm wishing I did. Oh Well. What Maxima board are referring to?

The auctuon had a little calculator to click on that is supposed to calculate the shipping. I think the seller has to set the fee but I'm now sure exactly how it works.

I think there are maxima boards out there (have to be). What is the offset?
