The Story...
...I had been hunting for months. eBay, Craigs, classifieds- you name it. One day I decide to type in "23" Ford Wheels" instead of Saleen's. I tried Kijiji up here in Ontario (Canada), and up pops this ad. I noticed they had spelled Saleen wrong (Saline), which may have caused no one to bother. Plus, they looked beat up. I decided to email anyways and got the story. Hubby had bought them for his truck and had decided to raise instead of lower his ride. They had been in the garage for almost 2 years when he decided to sell them. Never cleaned up the one in the unopened box, so it was only covered in dust. They took it out, cleaned it, and sent me pics. They also informed me they were in original boxes, and had never been mounted. I tell you, when I opened their email, my f*****g heart stopped. They were mint. Never even out of the boxes.
The couple were 4+ hours away from here, but her uncle was doing a return trip and would bring them back up for me to my door. No shipping either.
You can see the price- I paid in full without trying to sound excited...
I just want to thank the 190 people who saw the ad in front of me that never bothered. I guess I must have been good to others or something, because karma was sure on my side.
And no, Capt.- they will NEVER see snow. My chrome 20's are good for the snow...
