I found these on craigslist, he's asking 300 but he just called back and said that he'd take 250 if i bought them today?

what do you think? Worth 250? good/bad deal?

Definitely not worth 300. You can buy those wheels brand new for $42/piece. 250 maybe, but those tires about about done for. Guess if you aren't DD'ing your rig...well even then I think you will be buying new tires soon.

So offer 200 highest?

lliamsdad

offer enough to cover the wheels cause those tires are shot.

x2, don't buy, don't buy!!!

150-200 or no buy. Those tires will have to be replaced in no time.

^^^if not immediately

I mean he could get some time on the road with them but it's really not worth it. In CT you can get a ticket for the tread being worn down that much.

lliamsdad

wow. i didnt know that^^^

Yeah, i called him back and told him the highest i would go was 200, but to call me in a week or so if he hasn't sold them and wants to go lower.

Thanks.

Well they are steel wheels so they will be heavier then aluminum wheels obviously. I just called a guy on a set of 4 stock brushed aluminum wheels and he asked 225 but said he'd take 175 if that helps any.

If you can get the wheels for $42 each then I wouldn't even bother with buying these, you'll have to get new tires soon and you'll have to pay someone to balance them. I'd just get a set of wheels/tires together at the same time.

Not to call anyone out, but I work with a tire wholesaler and cannot get Cooper Discover STT's (Which is what those are, and not SST like the ad says) for anywhere near $42 a piece. Cragar Soft 8s typically run around $50 a piece. The tires are shot, (like everyone else has said) and you're looking at a minimum of $120 a piece if you stick with STT's, so I wouldn't buy that set for $200. I would offer $125-$150 if you decide to still go with the Soft 8s.

X3,or 4....I would offer $125-$150 if you decide to still go with the Soft 8s. Any higher, I would buy a new set. (that you'll know is straight & true) I have Cooper Discoverers STT's, on my jeep. (I love 'em, and would buy them again) Cost for four was $560.00. (mounted, balanced, thrown on)

$150 cash, those are wheels your buying.
(tires are good for couple months hard use if that)

edit: I didn't see that almost bald one...
looks like someone didn't rotate....rofl
if your dead-set on steel, I would get 'em new.
better yet, wait for the summer sales to hit on tire/wheel packs,
and go with aluminum wheels.
or get 4 used alum's and new tires.
either way those tires are shot out.....
