BlueAKSSS Posted September 21, 2009 Report Share Posted September 21, 2009 (edited) Just picked up 5 stock chrome wheels off craigslist with 4 de-studded winter tires mounted on them. Plan was going to be to restud the tires when I bought the rims, on further inspection once I bought them I relized they can't be restuded. So now I've got to buy new studded tires for them. Bought the 5 rims for $800 which might have been to much? Also the center caps were missing but their trying to find them at their house. I may just buy the caps off ebay. What do you guys think? At least I will have 20" rims winter and summer was going to put 16" rims and studded tires on there....Haha, Guess my real question is the 5th rim has a crack along the edge of it is about an inch long, it is mearly a spare now but is it even usable to mount a new tire onto? The tire thats on it has a cut in it and when I plug the cut I can put 30psi in it no problem and it holds air fine with the hole plugged. Picture of the crack.....

KIKINSS Posted October 14, 2009 Report Share Posted October 14, 2009 The crack can be easily repaired, however the chrome will be gone and by the time you have it rechromed it won't be cheap. The damage is in an area where its not a safety issue at all, I would put a tire on it and use it. I think you got a very good deal,, 160 bux apiece Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funny this finally got responded to because the person that sold me the rims just contacted me and said they found the center caps for them! So I've got to go get them.

jc06VMAX Posted October 16, 2009 Report Share Posted October 16, 2009 nice score...that was a great price Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueAKSSS Posted October 17, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 17, 2009 nice score...that was a great price The score was added to today when I finally picked up the center caps almost a month later lol. The problem is 3 of the caps have red chevy logos and two are original and have black logos. So maybe I'll just have red bowties on one side and black on the other!
