Misfortune leads to a profit

i found a set of Enkei Evo5 17x7 in rims on CL the other day. the guy had them on his integra and wanted $350 for em.two tires were good teh other two needed to be replaced so i talked with him and got some pics and met up and bought them from him for $275. i was so happy. months and months of looking and i finally found what i wanted. get them home and jacked up the car to mount them and they didnt fit. turns out they were 4x100/4x108. i just assumed they were 4x100/4x114.3. i didnt even know 4x108 existed. so i cleaned them up and took a tons of pics and put them back on CL, $350. within 6 hours, 5 people contacted me about them and less than 18 hours i had them sold for $350.

nicely done! strange, you would think wheels on an acura would always be able to fit a honda, maybe its because the integra is so small. any ideas what youre using the money on now?

yeah i knew they would work on a 4x100 and i just assumed the other lug pattern was a 114.3 but it wasnt. im still looking for some wheels. maybe a brake upgrade. im not sure. id love to do a 5 lug swap but i think that will be close to 700 bucks by the time i get everything and some wheels. i was only looking to spend about 400 right now. we'll see.

awesome. I purchased some work wheels off Craigslist for 700 with tires and sold them back for a 1000 less than a week later. I sold my car, so it all worked out
