They came off the car, sat for a couple years, then went in my garage and where they were sitting, rain blew in from the top and got on them, they then sat for a couple weeks (dry of course) and thats why they look like that. I cant see it being enough rust to be that big of a deal. I got them in a trade and dont have any interest in them, thats why I havent bothered to clean them.
If I was going to go through the trouble of driving to get rust remover, then putting time into them, the price would be higher. Also Im down to $70 shipped on them, just never updated the thread.
