    I hope that link works. My buddy sent me these today. Two of those tires alone are worth more than $600.

    I almost can't pass that up just bc the deal

    seems like a really good price assuming none of the wheels are bent, the tires seal, they balance properly, they aren't dry-rotted, they didn't just take a picture of the one wheel that doesn't have road rash, they have tread life remaining......etc.
    Of course you know what they say about assuming....

    Yeah, a lot of variables. Even if the tires are shot, are the wheels worth that?

    I think the wheels alone are worth close to that if they are in good shape. Lot's of people love those RW wheels.

    If the tires are in half decent shape than its definitely a good deal.

    Probably, again with the related assumptions. I saw a set on eBay for ~1200 which included tire with ~60 tread remaining.

    i think its a good deal. I like those RW wheels. plus the beadlocks are powdercoated so you know the guy wasn't cheap with it (i.e plastidip..)

    I messaged him asking about the tread life. I'm also going to ask if there's any issues with them. They're located about 20-30 minutes from me. I'm surprised I've never seen the truck around.

    well, the link to me to 17" tires and your profile says you are running 20's. So I'd say pass on them.

    Oh, wait, just noticed the link included the wheels.

    Your call man, I just know I wouldn't go from 20's to 17's on mine.

    Oh no, id keep my methods. Just have two sets of wheels and tires.

    He said they only have 3,000-5,000 Miles left on the tires so they're basically shot.

    If they had a decent amount of tread left I would do it, not so sure now since I don't NEED them anyway.
