Alloy Rim At 68k - Cheap Or Expensive? by rottenPussy: 8:32am On Oct 03, 2018
Hi, I priced these rims yesterday and was told whichever I pick cost 68k. I intend to pick the one with double color and many fingers.

Pls is this a fair price or I should go to Lagos?

For a place like Ibadan, it’s a fair price. I got the exact type of the first one about two weeks ago for 70k, around Seventh-Day road..Oke bola, in Ibadan. But I was able to trade in the normal stock rims for 5k. So, I added 65k. Here’s the pic:

Fair enough. I will try an locate the place at Oke bola to trade in aswell since I won't be needing my stock rim again.

I don’t have an idea at the moment, but I intend searching for it before the week runs out, coz I need it too ASAP. If it comes in cheap, I could get 2. If otherwise, I’d give you the descriptions.. cheesy grin

It is..cheap. But, I can’t guarantee how rugged it is, and its ability to withstand impacts from potholes at high speeds.

Yes sir..and I think it sells for as low as 2k. But, some of us hardly patronize such online shopping platforms. We explore other horizons first. grin

You traded in your stock wheels for 5k?
I'm shook.

Do you honestly believe these aftermarket wheels are better than your stock wheels?

I saw it sometime like that. Got discouraged after I saw the fixing mode on youtube. It looked like something that could peel off while cleaning the tyre with a vacuum pump.

Bros..the car came with the random wheels with covers..and I know these rims I got, are basically to satisfy my aesthetic desires..nothing compares to stock/oem alloys.

Glad you've been to the place recommended.
Are there any price offers in Lagos yet?
Factor in cost of transportation to and from Lagos to see if they difference will be worth it.


On a lighter note, easy on the threads creation for the car, the village people of 'our guy' in Akure who did so sometime ago didn't like it and they have dealt with him... LOL.
