I say "jump on it." , but first check the bolt pattern and offset.

I love my Terra grapplers as an all around tire and i love the classic looks of the those wheels. Do it.

Also make sure the center bore is big enough. We have a bigger hub than most.

paying that much only to have to powder coat is too rich for my blood. I would bet you could get black rims for what you are offering and I am also not sure what that style would look like black I like the black/silver look myself

www.tirerack.com $150 each $139 for 20s sorry you need to go there the stock pic transfered not the one with the black rims

I agree, its not a bad deal but I think it would be better to buy wheels you're completely happy with. The tire are good though, you should see if the seller will split up the tires/rims and offer him around $500 for the tires.

IMO, I don't think they're bad looking rims and you may like the chrome better once you put em' on the VX.

I did not think about it but check these rims for chrome peeling. After going through two sets on the VX I have sworn off chrome. BTW I looked into powder coating the chrome rims that I had and it was over $150 per rim so check for prices before you buy.

I believe that if you google Mickey Thompson Classic II, you'll find that these wheels are polished aluminium.

Yeah, fitment issues should be your biggest concern. If the center bore is for GM it will not work for you. If the center bore is for imports, you should be good to go. You may also want to go to the Mickey Thompson website and check the offset/backspacing. Also check the wheel tire thread Rick Shaw started as you will find pics of VX's with different offsets and sizes to get an idea how these would look on yours.

IIRC Mickey Thompson had a partnership with Alcoa Aluminum to build their rims.

285/75/50? That must be a huge tire!

In all seriousness, the tires are nice but I'm not sold on the rim design. They look like they'd go great on a classic Bronco or Blazer, but I don't think they'd mesh well with a futuristic Japanese design.

by the time you powder coat you could probably go new. i just bought some 17" American Racing teflon wheels which almost match the cladding perfect with Nitto Grapplers for about $1200. i'll post some pics and particulars later...really come down to cost of PC

Center bore issues.
