    You show me a wheel for $150, and I will show you junk, haha (as if the stocks arent).

    I easily spend $2500 everytime I get wheels and tires. I guess thats why I see this as a steal.

    Thumbs up

    I think it all depends on what you are looking at. A new set of American Racing Chambers coated with Teflon and a set of BFG A/T will run you $1600 new.

    So, half that price for a set of nice stock rims and nearly new tires is not a bad deal. If you want to cheap out, sure, you can get rims and tires for $500 bucks. But we ain't driving Hyundais here.

    I just sold my set of stock 18" chromes with a set of BFG G-Force street rubbers with less than 10k miles on them for $700. That is only $100 less than what Roward is asking here. I wanted $1000. But I wanted to get them outta my garage and make a little money more than anything. I made a comprimise to get these outta my way.

    Shipping on a full set of rims and tires ain't cheap, and that's what killed it for me. But that was my decision. I did consider keeping them or at least holding out until I got at least $900 in my pocket. But that would mean $1100 out of pocket for the buyer, and more time with these taking up space in my crowded garage, so you see why I ended up selling for less.

    It just depends on how bad the seller wants to sell, and/or how bad the buyer wants them, and of course, shipping. Anyway, what I am saying, is that $800 is a very fair price....

    Thank you Bart and all for your input on this. I did go by FedEx to get them weighed so I could quote correctly. Maybe it will be someone on the left coast and it won't cost so much.

    Don't care for them, but if I can come up with a GOOD QUALITY adapter ring, might just put them on my truck since it needs new shoes anyway. It is driven about once a month if that and only to Lowes/Home Dpot or to take trash to the dump, so am not real concerned about using them if done correctly.
