Default 09 rims for 08 rims
Was trying to see if I should do this trade or not. The guy has 08 18" rims and I offered to trade him my 2009 18" lobster claws for his. Do you think its a good trade?



EDIT: My bad, he said they were the 08 liquid graphite color... so i'm probably going to go ahead and trade him.

No, I like the lobster claw. but if you really want the old ones, go for the 08 one, same as 06 but with a different finish.

It might NOT look as good as 08 but he's smart. he's getting newer tires over looks.

Trade for the 08's! The gun-metal finish looks amazing!

if you really want to trade, just trade the wheels and not the tires

That was the plan actually. We were going to meet up at America's Tire and swap tires. No way i'm going to give him my stock ER33's for his cheap falkens. Thanks for the opinions guys!
