Thoughts regarding these 80-series rims (photos)

I'm looking at buying a set of 80 series Land Cruiser rims for my T100. They are about 90 miles away so I would rather not drive up to look at them if someone with more experience than me can tell me they aren't worth buying just by looking at the photos the seller sent me.

Are they worth buying? What would be a fair price?

I do plan to paint them or get them powder coated, so more worried about potential problems than about the looks. I'm also not too worried about not having a full set of center caps since I have a set of Aisins going on the front.

Thanks for the help.

The only thing I would be worried about is if they will fit and not rub on the calipers on the front They look like 16" from the stamp but I could not really tell.

First I don`t know what your driving but I figured 15 mpg so that would cost about $50.00 in gas plus your time

They look like crap time to clean the beads needs to be figured

if you pay $20.00 per wheel your into it for $130.00 plus the cost to refinish

It comes down to how bad you need wheels

16x8 stock alloys. Those are some of the most wanted rims out there.
They look fine. Buy em.

Thank you both. They are 16x8 as scuba says. I've wanted a set of these for more than a year and I've been looking for months but I was a bit concerned with all the spots (specifically the ones around the valve stem, because all of them had the same spots there so I was concerned it might be a more serious issue than pitting from the road). I'll still need to find one more for my spare, but I'm pretty happy. I'd originally offered $200 for the set if there weren't any bends, cracks, or problems, so I will just stick with that price, but I will ask that all the tires be removed (seller was going to keep two of the tires that had good tread and leave the other two on).

Wow learn something new all the time I had some I tossed in the Aluminum scrap because I did not want them.

Because of being 16" go figure

My plan is to get them on Thursday unless someone gives me a good reason not to...or the seller backs out.
