I've already sent an email to the seller.  These match my summer wheels and would replace the winter steelies. Seller is asking $250 for the four.


Wow, great buy!

Should I be a dick and offer $200 or just pay the $250 and run?  $250 is a great price.

Have a look, used tires are always more worn than they said they are, rims are always more scratched up than they said they were.

People are so dishonest with tires. I went to look at a set for a GMC Sierra, seller stated tread was 75%. I would have called the tread maybe 25% at best, to top it off the tires were gravel chewed badly. He came off his $300 price all right....ended up giving them to me!

When I sold a set of tires on kijiji, I had one picture that showed a ruler in the tread so there was no doubt for anyone checking.

Smoking deal, nice find.  My kid paid $800 or so for his Mustang winter (V6 style) wheels & tires.  I paid $200 just for Taurus wheels at a wrecker  ::) :P ...anyone need Taurus wheels?  :bang:

I've had a set of Nissan truck rims for sale on Kijiji for $100 for over a month.  I just want to get rid of them. 

Only one bite and he found out they didn't quite fit his truck.

Deal complete.  Picked up the wheels as scheduled this morning.  They look fine.

Cleaned up nice.

I have no issues with paying asking if the price is fair.  Seems like good karma is earned as I usually have no issues with selling things at my asking when I price it fairly.

I wouldn't

I am not a farmer, listen to country music, or have an attraction to sibling  :rofl2:
If driving an Alfa does not restore vitality to your soul, then just pass the hospital and park at the morgue to save everyone time.

Now drives a Jaaaaaaag...and thus will not pay for anything during an outing...but it is OK, because....I drive a Jaaaaaag.

They work great for bringing parts home from the Alfa dealer.

Truckist!!! Stereotyper!!  Then again I'm no city boy. I love old shortys, like you like Alfas.  Not sure how that ties into being attracted to siblings... :P

"It" is in Calgary.

I love it.



When I lived in Calgary we lived in the neighborhood as that. It was yellow back then. Saw it driving around a couple times.
