Another new set of Rolling stock

Just picked these up off CL bout a week ago for 200$, I'll run em through the winter so I don't salt up the 3rdgens.

Had to clean em up a little spent about an hour per wheel cleaning and polishing.

The wheels also came with 32 brand new long lugnuts too!!

35/12.50/16.5

When tax time rolls around I'm gonna get a new set of rubbers for the 3rd gens, and I'll probly trhrow these back up on CL and try to make my money back out of em.

$200 for the tires/wheels and lug nuts?

lol around these parts someone would be asking $600 probably... then again, people are idiots around here. when buying everyone nickel and dimes but when they are selling they consistently ask more than stuff is worth and are stubborn too

Sorry for the rant!

I mean...

Good buy my friend! wish those deals came up around here!

The tires aren't fantastic by any means, they got some weather checking and an 02 date which is a little older than I like to run but oh well.

Yep 200 for the whole ball o wax, heck there was 70-80 buck worth of of lugnuts. He was asking 250. I don't think I got hurt to bad. I could probly resell the wheels for that.

I like em, they kinda give it that era correct look.

Dang. My dad and my sister both want a set of 3rd gen alloy rims for their 3rd and 2nd gen. You can usually get pretty new takeoffs, with hub caps and lugs and all for less than the tires cost. If I could stand the look of those little tires I would never buy new ones again. I bet a guy could almost make his money back re-selling the rims!

BTW Andrew, Idk what it is, but your truck looks amazing. Just plain bad @$$.

Richie, Now that you mention it they are aren't they.

AP, Probly won't get one this week either as the truck is gettin a new battery, I'm getting a new pair of boots and a local guy has a beer can sized turbo I NEED.


Randy, I've seen 3rd gen alloys as cheap as 200$ for a set on CL before,they were never in my area but...

Oh and thanks for the compliments guys.
