craigslist purchase... how did I do?

I just purchased a 2013 sr5, with some Bobo SE toyota value package rims. I sourced some TRD rims on Craigslist for 300 bucks.

I bought em, and 2 wheels have 20% tread left, and 2 were worn out. Rims are derped black.

I bought 2 new bfgs for 430 dollars installed, and kept 2. Old rims are up for sale on craigslist for 700 dollars.

what do you think?

 

I'm sure you did fine. Realistically, OEM rim pricing usually seems to coincide with the tires they are mounted on, or whatever the seller feels like.

But it will depend on what pops up in your area. I have seen people price them higher and lower. Sometimes you get lucky and someone wants them gone for $30 a piece, and sometimes you get someone who wants the most money back out of stock items.

And besides that you already bought everything so no sense in looking back and feeling bad if you did happen to spend on the higher end.

 

Just curious, why the change in rims? Personally I think the ones you're selling are way nicer.

 

here is a comp for my area. these are without tires, and not derped.

The big plus for me is they came with BFG's with usable life remaining. Dude I bought them from told me he had 50+ hits, with one guy wanting to drive two hours to pick them up.

 

It always amazes me when people ask about their deals. Once my cash is gone I don't ever want to think about the coulda shoulda's. If your happy, & you know it.
Clap yer hands.

 

Guys in the tire shop say the same thing. I wanted oem toyota rims, and have had quality issues with aftermarket chinese crap.

 

Thanks for point this out, I may wait for a few weeks them make him an offer on them...
I want a second set for hunting tires and those match mine.
Was looking at steel but the cheapest has been $200 for factory take offs.

Not bad, the wheels go anywhere from 200-350

 

Makes sense. Were you getting vibration in the wheel with the after markets? Were you using hub rings?
