Uhh how are we suppose to know whether they will fit or not? Bolt pattern is 114mm. Either measure the rims or look up the specs on them. Or just try to bolt them on. You said you already bought them.

Um, unless I'm mistaken, those are 4 lug rims and are not going to fit on an eclipse, but will more than likely work on a Honda or something.

bolt pattern is 4x100 and 4x114.3

Yeah i already bought them for 25$ eatch but yeah doesnt look like its gunna fit my eclipse =(

O shit I didn't even look at them that closely. Yea deffinately not going to work for you. But you should be able to at least sell them for that much.

Yeah i have a friend that had 4 lug car so he might buy them from me and if he doesnt i am sure someone els will b/c 25$ eatch is really cheap.

Thats $100 for the set of rims and tires AND the seller was willing to tell you what you wanted to hear (that they were the right bolt pattern)... $20 says they are hot.

I have those same hyper black wheels in 18" and they for the rims alone with no tires are 5 to 6 hundred. Your buddy is either slightly retarded or they are hot...

That's funny. Clearly a 4-bolt pattern (square/box whatever you want to call it) and we got 5. I agree with the "hotness". Great price for rim, tires, and them being in really shape from those pics. Sell them quick son! Run!

Holy shit, i din't notice that the tires were on there. Yeah get rid of them quick! Flip em for about $250.

Does it matter if they are stolen? He paid for them so if somehow it gets traced to him he wont get in trouble for it right? But sell them anyways. You can make a good profit.

No he wouldn't be at fault, but it would depend on what/who came looking for em. Like you said silver, he's still gonna turn a profit if he sells them.

This is an interesting problem of case law involving good faith third party buyers of illegitamitly acquire merchandise. Currently, if you are found to be in posession of stolen property A) you can be charged with possesion of stolen property at police's discretion, however, if you can establish that you are a good faith buyer and didn't know they were stolen and provide the police with who sold it to you you may escape charges. B) will indefinitely have the property confiscated without compensation.

So sell that shit quicktimes for a nice profit
Ebay is best way to off load stolen goods :)

Sounds like you know from experience...

haha not really but if you ship those rims across the country or to another country the police who are looking for them in your area aren't going to be able to find anything and the police where they get shipped will not know they are stolen.

Yep, Stevie's right... you might get into trouble especially if you resist if you get caught with them, but regardless you lose them and you're out the $100 you gave to your 'friend'.

So this is what I have learned from this thread:

1) Steal rims from a honda
2) Put them on ebay
3) Ship them accross the country

lol, Yeah my home boy went on Ebay and bought some stock rims off a C5 corvette I think for like $900 with brand new tires already on them. When we went to put them on and we were rolling them out the house we noticed the serial number on the back of the rims had been grinded off, lol. Had to have been stolen. But we dont care. Lol, when I was like 10 I gave this dude $25 dollars for a go cart that he stole from somebody. Like a week later the po po come to my house askin me if I had any stolen goods, I said no. He said what about a go cart, I said man I gave a guy $25 for it. I didnt get in trouble and they didnt take it.
