get em or nah??

Right now im sittin on '89 rusted factory wheels and 30x9.5 baldish tires. i have been looking for a wheel/tire upgrade for a little while since my tires

are getting pretty bald so i figured id find new wheels while im at it. I dont

have the money for a set of new tires and the seller claims his tires have

50% or more left so i should be okay for awhile.

What do yall think a fair price is for these?

not bad cause you get rims and lug nuts!!!

300 aint bad i paid just under a grand for 4 tires new..bfgs are great and last a long time.. if they have 50 percent and are worn ok then you should get atleast a year or 2 years out of them...

i see, i guess i was just basing it off of around here. if parts are that rare, then that is a pretty good price. i would inspect them closely though to make sure you are getting your money's worth.

that's really annoying.. i hate it when people do that. you have a set price then they show up with less. barter over email, once the price is set, show up with that much....

yeah... i called him and told him i will have to drive 60 miles so maybe i can get it down to 250. Or have him buy me gas. But, the price is not final yet.
il tell you all when or if i get em.

ps. i seen a black set of these on an '89 pu on cardomain and i think i will spray em up real nice before i put them on. thoughts?

yea with the driving involved 250 would be fair i have that set up now works great love the rims and the tires make sure they have no side wall damage which i find is common on these but i find they aren't very capable in mud

not to hijack but coming from someone who sells alot of stuff on craigslist.... i dont care how far your driving... why should i accept less money because you have to drive? your the one who wants them, its called supply and demand.. i have a supply, you have the demand. the strength of your demand is the only thing that limits your drive... whats it worth to you.

courtesy?^^ Id do the same. If a customer wanted it bad enough to drive a long distance i think i would cut him a deal.

Thanks for the pic! i like the black look on em. I will definitely go that route.

Black is where its at. Chrome don't get you home. I think thats a good deal as long as the tires are worn evenly and have at least half their life left. Look at it this way, you are getting 4 OEM rims @ $25 each and 4 tires @ $50 each. Deal. Done.
