Can you describe the wheels and tires? Wear of tires (miles), mutilations, scrathes, surface damage, etc... close-up pictures would help.

Here you go Ruth Ann. Just what I was talking about with Z rated tires an all. The Speedsters are what used to be called the Stars. Here's Fooses URLand the wheel. I had these on my 04. I'll post a pic too.

1 of the rear wheels have some scratches and the tires have about 10,000 miles Theres probably more than half the life left. Considering they cost $3,000. I'm giving them away for $1,000

I'm probably all wet here, but my brain seems to be telling me that if larger wheels are put on a car it would make it higher off the ground. What am I missing??? :crazy

Larger diameter rims does not mean larger diameter wheels. :skep The total wheel size typically remains the same to avoid changing speedometer settings.

Yep, go get a towel. there smaller tires, (rubber bands) on bigger rims, same circumference. It's an optic allusion.

Because you will have more chrome showing an rubber tire...
Lots of people like lots of chrome....
It may make the ride a little harder but with the magnaride shocks on the XLR they will just work a little harder...

I just bought 20" Foose speedsters for $1,115.00 brand new, then put Dunlop V tread tires on for $1,200.
I'm sorry but I don't think your deal is a very good one. The rims with scratches aren't even worth half of what you want& 10,000 miles doesn't leave much rubber on those rear tires if you've been light racing............Just my opinion.:nono 1 of the rear wheels have some scratches and the tires have about 10,000 miles Theres probably more than half the life left. Considering they cost $3,000. I'm giving them away for $1,000

Do you still have your wheels for sale? I noticed you put them on the Forum back in October and there was activity...then it stopped.

Wheels and Tires? Still 10,000 miles on the tires? Are they Run Flat tires? Does your price include shipping? Are you firm on your price?

I am in Indianapolis.

Please let me know?

Thank you,

Jim
