Default is this a good deal on bullitt rims?

i can get some 17" bullitt rims w/ tires for $400 from a local guy here in nj
that sounds like a steal for me... it is right?

also how much can i sell the stock sixxer rims/tires (+tpms) for?!

They would have to have good tires on them and be
in pristeen, low mileage condition as well for that price.
I got New 18x8.5" OEM Bullitt Take-offs for $400 shipped, no tires.
17x8 bullittss sell on eBay regularly for under $300 shipped, no tires.
Are there tires on them rims in NJ you are thinking about buying?
Why are you selling your TPMS sensors with your 16x7s?
Do the 17x8s have the TPMS sensors installed?
Plan on retraining the sensors if so.

I have put my NewTakeOff low-mileage, 16x7" stockers with
new OEM tires on Craigs list for $200 and I cannot get any takers.

thats a fair deal as long as the tires are in good shape and the rims dont have any damage (chips, scratches, heavy scuffs, etc.) i bought my set for the same price from a local guy also. turned around and sold my stock 16's for $300. so in the end, it was only $100 out of my pocket.

That may be a fair price if they are like new. If you are patient and shop around though you can do better. Head out to the big spring swap meet at Raceway Park in Old Bridge twsp this weekind and you can probably find a set for a good price.

+1 how much cheaper can i get 17's bullitts + tires for?!?!?!
i thought that was a good deal ($400 for the rims/tires) because i dont have to pay shipping or anything........

i had someone offer me $340 for my current rims and tires but i had to say no because they needed them on the spot and i had no other rims/tires to put on

It makes a big difference if there are new/good tires on them......
The original post didnt state that tires were included.
If the condition of the rims is pristeen and the tires have 90%
tread left on them, ****** them up in a heartbeat.....
