Those are nice rims man, give it a few more days before you try the pawn shop, its like taking a car to the dealers and trying to get good money from it.

I remember you said you got them for a steal so anything should be enough. Never been to a pawn shop though

I know from personal experience that pawn shops will do their best to make at least a 200% profit, so unless you picked the wheels up for dirt cheap I would stay away from them since they will low ball you like crazy. Add the fact that there generally isn't much of a market for high dollar wheels in pawn shops and I think it's safe to say you won't have a good experience, unless of course you go to a shop that has experience with wheels. Not trying to discourage you but I would hate to see a fellow member get snaked out of a nice set of wheels. $0.02.

Craigslist is your best friend man, I just picked up two sets of wheels for $175. One set of chrome gs300 no tires and supras w/ winter tires. Old white guys out there have the best deals lol
