Depends on the seller. I bought my 7th gen gts rims off ebay, and the seller shipped them the day after I paid. Idiot used USPS to ship, though, and they roughed up the box that had the lugs in it. They got lost during shipping. Good thing I didn't need them... Check to make sure they have good feedback and make them use UPS or FEDEX ground to ship.

Those are konig's not volks.

I am sure most of you know this but "ebay" doesn't sell products. Ebay is an advertising forum (much like a classified ad) except some sales have an auction component. "Ebay" is as good or as bad as the individual seller.

I was wanting to buy some Rims here soon. I wanted to stick with 15's because I don't want to pay a bunch of money for tires plus i just got new tires for my stock 15's that i want to use. I was thinking about going on Ebay to get some... Does anyone have any 15" rims on their celica with pics?

i have 15's that are coming off soon. they need to be cleaned, i started cleaning one, but only had like five minutes. I'm waiting for my 17's to arrive. I'll try and get pics tonight. One has a slight crack, but hasnt caused me any problems. i was going to use them as winter rims. (ill make sure to get a pic of the crack). i was going to have it welded most likely. The front tires are about 90% tread, back are probably about 25%? I may put them on ebay, who knows. I'll try and get pics of my ebay rims up too.

What kind are they? I am hoping that if i get some, they will look good even though they'll be small. I am wondering if some 5-7 spoke rims would look good?

i have a post here with examples: Rims Topic

For $7k they had better look awesome. Hell why not by a car with rims and just sell the car for that much.

i'm thinking about getting the Rage Enduro's. They are $77 per rim and i think they'd look distinct even though they'd be 15's.. what do you think?
