Another set of wheels

[TradesmanGuy]

I plan to clean these up and flip them. At $150 with tires, and lug nuts I should make a few hundred or maybe more. Tires are warn, but are still good, and maybe for a year or more. I pick these up Wednesday.

Back story the seller bought these off a friend who upgraded his Rebel wheels. The current seller bought them for his 2016 Ram 1500, not knowing or noticing the 6 vs the 5 lug nuts. Yikes! He's motivated to get these out of his sight, and put this mistake in the past.

That is hell of a bargain. I bought basic steel wheels as fitted to Tradesman for winter wheels and they cost me around $400 if I remember correctly………

Wheels are cheap, the used ones at least. Tires are crazy expensive and mounting and balancing is also a gut punch. Still i should be able to flip these with the tires still holding air for $500 easy.

Truck money will get me a new quality H8 battery.

I’ve decided I am going to run my winter wheels and tyres this year. Even in NC! They are just sitting in my garage, no market for them here. Just getting older. Almost unused so why not use up the rubber and save my stock ones! October-March will do it, SNOW OR NO SNOW!

If i cant sell these in a few months Im going to consider MT tires. ATs are better then nothing, but short of chains the MTs ought to give me the real traction in the winter.

A good AT tire with 3 peak snow rating will blow the doors off mt’s as far as winter performance goes. Hell, even an AT without the snow rating would still be better than an mt. In general, mt’s SUCK in the snow. Very minimal-to-no siping, large tread blocks and voids, typically a harder rubber…all a big negative for snow.

Nice fine on the tires and wheels!

Thanks for the info. Learn something valuable.

Wheels and Tires are in good condition. Cleaned them up this morning and look great. Tires are a bit rough but about 1/2 the threads are still good. Only downside is TPMS sensors are not installed, but via Ebay a set of 4 sensors are around $35.
