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?

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.

MXmaniac · 08-27-2009, 04:57 PM

Mine got scrapped too. This guy's nuts.

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.

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.

Done.

jsmithbm · 08-27-2009, 06:48 PM

done

mvfd70 · 08-27-2009, 07:12 PM

Holy crap. There is a reason people throw them things away. The stories of them blowing apart are true. If they're so great, why are they not made any more? I love the part about how easy it is to change a tire without a tire changing machine. I giggled a little at that. I'd give him $8 for the whole set. I might get 10 at the scrap yard for them.

vectorit · 08-27-2009, 07:52 PM

Wow... Mine are older, so I'm thinkin double his price for mine.
