    Let me give everyone the back story on these first. I recently had 18" TRD wheels installed on my Prius. The dealer boxed up my 17" Plus wheels and I went home, ( I should have inspected them before I left, I know). When I went to clean them up to put them up for sale, I noticed that 3 out of 4 wheels were damaged during the taking off of the old tires. You can understand how angry I became after seeing this. I sent an email to the service manager about it and he said he would have to talk to the tech who did the work. After he did this, I was told that they felt that the damage done to the inside of one of the wheels was not caused by them. I informed him that no one has ever touched these wheels except for rotation during dealer maintenance, and definitely never a tire change. After a week of arguing with them about this, they agreed to repair the wheels at no cost to me. They had to send them to Norcal to a place that specialized in the finish. I was told it was a 3 stage process to get that. I just got them back yesterday and the silver finish is like new. The one thing that I did notice is that they painted or powder coated the inside of the wheels in gloss black. The original finish was a satin black. I appears that they set them on the floor before the paint was 100% dry and when they picked them up to package them, it left a rough edge on the lip. Not horrible, but noticeable. I believe the tire bead will cover this.

    So, I know won't get the price these would fetch if they were factory finished, but they are in "like new" condition because of the repair. I am asking $1000 for these, local sale preferred, so that they can be inspected before purchase. If you decide to buy them without inspection and have them shipped, all sales are final. Shipping will be at the buyers cost. I have tried to take detailed pictures to show the rough lip on the inside of the wheels. They are plastic wrapped and packaged in the boxes my TRD wheels came in. There are also pictures of the damage to the wheels before repair for reference. Any questions, please feel free to ask.

    I forgot to add to the original post that the Plus center caps are included with the wheels. Forgot to take a pic of them.

    I'm open to offers. Please don't lowball. The repair on these was cosmetic only. There was nothing else done to these.

    UPDATE:
    I received an email today from the dealer informing me that they will buy my wheels from me. They will pay me asking price also. Glad this is done. Sorry toyopri808. Thanks for the interest though.

    If you only knew the headache with these. From them claiming they didn't do it to the repair shop saying that the rough edge was "normal". Glad they are making it right.

    Yes. I'm very surprised. The house didn't win this time!
