Wider Wheel in Stock Wheel Well

I found this interesting in a back and forth with the ebay vendor

So this essentially started by throwing a lowball offer on a set of RTR rims that was surprisingly actually entertained by the vendor. I immediately thought there was probably something wrong with them, but he assured me there wasn't. My thinking the whole time was that this was simply something they 'had in inventory' and wanted to get out of their warehouse.

I'd never have thought they would be working with the vendor to ship directly. Because then it really confuses me on how they were able to sell these to me so inexpensively when they retail for about a good 33% more than what I paid. ?

You can find cheap, new, or open-box brand items all the time on ebay if you have your searches and alerts set appropriately. But each time, the impetus is usually some warehouse that is wanting to get rid of inventory to clear the shelf space, and are willing to eat the price because the shelf space is that much more valuable to them.

I'm not sure what's going on here.

My RTR wheels showed up, and boy am I impressed. I gotta be honest, I'm a big fan of gloss black wheels. I think they really make your shoes pop. But Im really feeling that these Satin black wheels are going to be a much better match. Maybe I'm just saying it becaue they are mine now, but it will keep the truck from looking less "prim" like glossies would....which is good.

So when I put in the offer, I completely forgot how I setup the payment, so I should've had them shipped to my parents house for stealth reasons. Instead, they came here. UPS guy rang my 'Ring' so the alert comes up different on the phone. I knew I was busted as soon as he did it. I go outside to meet him, and all I can hear over the doorbell..."Is that for me??".

Like I indicated, this was a bit of an impulse buy. I knew I wanted these and I tossed a complete lowball to the vendor on eBay just to feel him out. Was flabbergasted when I saw they accepted. So my disposable income is a hurting a bit right now. Which is why these are going back in their boxes and into storage until I'm ready to put them on.

At least this gives me the options of going for the exact tires that I want and at the best price. All I know is I want something light. Lets see.
