Who cares about scuff marks....

This person dosen't. Then theres the 'professional' examination of the 65%, 50% and 35% tread...

....Rims are alright, with some gutter marks along the edge. which I don't think really worth worrying about it. if you do care about the marks, I was told you can get them reconditioned for a couple of hundred bucks. all the tyres are in good condition, I was told by professionals 1 tyre still has 65% tread let, 1 is about 50%, and the other 2 are about 35% tread left. so you still get plenty to drive....Dealer are selling like $700 per rim and $450 per tyre when new. that's huge savings.so grab yourself bargain. if you really want to give your car a new look, larger wheels, this could be the one you don't want to miss...

You'd think he'd at least wash them before taking pics.

Most people who live in hawthorn wouldn't really care about scratches. They have to keep their cars on the street ... and the bluestone curbs are definately not very accomodating to your wheels looking nice.

He probably used to drive on the tram tracks a lot. That would explain uneven wear ... if he's always owned the car.

...those scuff marks on the single wheel shot are huge, and I agree with Revolver...he could have at least cleaned them.

Wow Northern suburb Rik.... haha.

Those apartment block are very nice. I thought you were into Southbank/South Melbourne area.

If you are planning trading in soon Rik... keep the aftermarket wheel as it will fit to the new series RX-8
