Maybe it's me being an arse or a backside, but selling bent wheels?

Really, why do people think selling bent wheels is a good idea?

It goes along the lines of selling some stock parts, like oil filter only 250 miles on it. Or Stock rear sway bar (give it away!)

Stock S4 exhaust sell etc.etc

But badly curbed wheels, bent wheels, wheels that don't match in color?!?!?!

Get the wheels fixed then sell them.. Maybe I'm off the deep end but that sure bugs me..

And if this is legit, then put in the description of the ad, bent, scratched, curbed, colors don't match, so that people don't waste their time clicking on the link. Save everyone some bandwidth!

Default I sold my bent/cracked AVUS wheels

$200 including center caps

They were in good cosmetic condition, and I saw the cracked wheel later, a welding shop took a chunk out and rewelded it :O
