RIMS...are these worth it?
|
Can't Post
|
|
I have a touring edition with the boring 2005 rims. I found a guy selling these for 160.00 for all four rims. I think they are right out of the box. Are they worth it>? Will my current tires also on 16" rims fit them?
ps.......see the .jpg attached. I cannot figure out how to embed a foto!

I would say buy the rims! they will look much better, but I don't know if ur tires will fit? Then u can sell ur boring rims! Stock rims can fetch pretty hefty prices!

those look like the dealer option rims that are/were available... if they are 16" and your current ones are 16" then your tires will fit.

Mike, bad news for me, perhaps good for you! I cannot do the deal and they are available. He has not given me his tel# yet but if you are interested in them I can certainly get you in touch with him.

Well she did not say no, but she did not seem to excited about the prospect even though I showed her the same wheels on the Mopar site going for so much!
But she is due to have a baby in 2 weeks so I don't think it is a good idea to push it...no pun intended!

You sound like a caring thoughtful man and not having the new wheels is no big deal...a bargin is always right around the next corner.

Well thanks, that is a nice compliment. So I will definitely try to keep some $ when a deal like this turns up once more...I do like the chrome 5 star wheels the best though.

I would definetely be interested in those rims, as mine are in terrible shape! Are they still available? I'm due for new tires as well. Any recommendations out there? Please let me know, here, or at laserdad68@comcast.net. Thanks, and take care! Mike

Yes, I got that email, thank you much! Sorry I didn't reply sooner, I had some sudden deadlines to meet at work. He's pretty far away, and I think that shipping them would end up making the deal not so great, but I'll look into it! I need tires badly, and if you highly recommend those above, I might just head out and get em. I've got 80,000mi on my '02. Thanks again.

Well I spread the word to others on the site and the wheels were snatched up.
Don't drive with bad tires, it is money well spent get new ones ASAP!
