These are 01 rims so they were in need of chemical stripping and bead blasting so I did not want to attempt to strip them myself. It cost me $100 per wheel...

The tires are like brand new and the rims are super,I'm planning on painting them black as soon as I get the tire pressure senser out of the old rims.They will look awesome.Hope you all enjoy.

Everyone around here wanted 360$ or higher for one runflat tire and these rims I got cost between 900$-1000$ for a set,so on averege all together all 4 tires and rims would cost around 2200$ -2400$ and that's not mounted and balanced.We paid only 500$,GREAT DEALThay are already balanced and mounted.
New set
