So I found this set of fx4 rims while checking out Craigslist this morning. Looking at them they seem to have a lot of raid rash and scratches or at least two of them seem to. They are listed at 200 and about 1 1/2 hr drive from me. My question is what do you think they are worth and is there a way repair the damage. I want one for a spare tire but wouldn't argue with 4 and I already have a set on my truck. Hope the pics are good enough to tell Nd thanks.

Too much damage imo

That type of damage (I think it's losing its clear and oxidizing) is common on the fx4 wheels but I've never seem it that bad before

Strip the clear, clean the oxidation, and reclear. Its not too bad of a process if you chemical peel them. offer 150 and see if he goes for it.

I wouldn't even waste my time. Be patient or look into better looking aftermarket rims.

Strip them down and paint them,I'd give $125 or so,do the work and get $375 for them.

Did the same I picked up aimilar pair for $125. Stripped/Cleaned/Recleared and sold them for $550.. Now using one as aspare will be diffucult if you plan to store it in under the truck as the spare tire retainer wont fit thru the center cap hole.

I just wonder if the wheels are "true". Can't tell from the pics whether or not there could be a bend, or something that could affect balance (and taking them to a wheel shop for that kind of repair negates any bargain savings). Some on this forum would sand them and plasti-dip them.

do you have any before during or after pics of your set for this process? and for the spare i was planning on either keeping in the garage or in the bed of a trip calls for it and keep the factory spare under the bed, want as one of those just in case kinda things because i have an almost brand new tire at that i could mount on it
