Are these really worth $800 or is this just another dreamer? Not mine.

sameyrasmea72 · 08-27-2009, 03:14 PM

Wow!!! I have a several of those, I was thinking trash but now I think kaching

nsuengineer06 · 08-27-2009, 03:16 PM

I have no idea what they're worth, but he seems serious!

jbristo67 · 08-27-2009, 03:41 PM

Wow just what everyone needs some of those super safe split rims

Longhorn Man · 08-27-2009, 03:51 PM

if they are so safe, why are they illegal in places?

Because the guv'ment is protecting the folks from Darwin's law. Folks who might hurt themselves fooling with something they don't understand. I hope they outlaw pencils soon too. You could put an eye out with one of those things.

70rs/ss · 08-27-2009, 04:00 PM

I think I hinted some sarcasm in there LHM, maybe? "super safe"

**leddzepp** · 08-27-2009, 04:08 PM

LOL....you can't give those rims away! Take another hit pal.

fixit-p · 08-27-2009, 04:15 PM

They don't call them widow makers for nutin.

67ChevyRedneck · 08-27-2009, 04:18 PM

You couldn't PAY ME to put them on my truck (if it was an 8 lugger.)

mcbassin · 08-27-2009, 04:22 PM

I really don't think this fellow has a prayer to sell the rims for any price....well maybe if they have some high tread tires on them.

Longhorn Man · 08-27-2009, 04:25 PM

he'll find out how worthless they are.
And wouldn't a 69 camper special be a ford anyways? He can't even read the badges on his truck.

big_al_71 · 08-27-2009, 04:29 PM

I will take two sets!!!

NOT!!!!!

retodd7711 · 08-27-2009, 04:48 PM

I got about $3 each at the scrap yard.
Maybe $2 I can't remember, I spent the money on beer.

68gmsee · 08-27-2009, 05:04 PM

One thing I've come to find out on Craigs list. Everyone thinks they've got a gold mine or an antique worth tons of money.

MXmaniac · 08-27-2009, 04:57 PM

Mine got scrapped too. This guy's nuts.

BossHogg69 · 08-27-2009, 05:07 PM

guys guys guys...

maybe they're more rare than you think, I mean they are the stock rims off a soon to be raging speed demon chevy camper special...

**Green Machine** · 08-27-2009, 05:07 PM

Wow, my parts truck just got a lot more valueable !!! Seems like he is dead serious though.

fixit-p · 08-27-2009, 05:18 PM

In his defense he is willing to let the spare go for an extra $200

ts9blues · 08-27-2009, 05:23 PM

Geeze, it seems like this kind of garbage happens on the list way too much. Everybody should reply to him with a low ball price... I don't think he would appreciate it too much.

That would be funny, poor guy gets a hundred responses with offers for $3 per rim. I must have too much time on my hands today.
