Question Knockoffs or the real thing??

I was at a car detail shop(also sells rims) and someone there i met told me they had 18's with tires for the low low...i was naturally curious( since i'm always lookin for deals)..then he told me they was Diablo rims. I'm not knowledgeable at all concerning mods since i have never really been into that...but with my lex i do want to stand out some. SO hence my subject question ? If this is a knockoff...tell me so i can look elsewhere...He is askin $625...and needs to make a deal bad...he lost job and has bills coming up.

Thanx guys for helping me out.....

If the wheels are in good condition with the meat I would give him $650.00, because he is in a rush, you on the other hand a time. You could possibly sell them for a $1,000.00 if the meat is good and if the rims are all scratched up. I would buy them as an invetment and EBAY them or try to sell them for a profit. But that is just me I am always lookin to make extra cash. If these wheels where for your GS (don't know if you mentioned a car) the GS has a very common offset also. Alot of GM vehicles will fit it.

What wheel is it exactly? Diablo Racing is the company.

Well do you like the style of the wheel? What do you want to spend? What sizes would you consider? We have many people on here that would help you.
