I found a set of 5 35x12.5x15 Maxxis Creepy Crawlers on a set of 5 15x8 5 on 4.5 Eagle 589s for $1500 yesterday. They have been run 5 times off road and were on a trailered Wrangler that just got 3/4 ton upgrade. Spare was driven off the trail once when he popped a bead on one of the others. All appear to be in great shape. The price is the same whether you take the wheels or not. So, if I went insane and pursued this, you think I would have any trouble selling the wheels? Maybe $350 worth? They are Wrangler and XJ bolt pattern.

I think you would have a heck of a time as you can buy m for that new if you look in the right places.

I know they are on the bay and we dont care much for it but an incredible amount of people do.These are 349 with free shipping.

Bleh, OK. Keep in mind this is a set of 5 too. But I really don't want to hassle with unloading wheels that are worthless to me. I see the Creepy Crawlers are pricey though. WOW. :eek:

My real hope is to come across a good deal on a set of 34x10.5x15 LTBs. I can get a set of 5 new ones in Cortez for $770 out the door. :fsj:

I would consider buying them from you for $200-250 for my ZJ.. Really though, thats about half of what they cost new, which would be top end of what used wheels in GREAT shape are usually worth. If they have any finish issues or trail/road damage they will be worth even less..

5 on 4.5 bolt pattern is also the same as ford explorer/ranger/bronco II, just an fyi and possible selling point....

you could always see if the guy is willing to separate the wheels and tires.

He already said the guy would but the price is the same weather the wheels go or not.

OK, I got over the Creepy Crawlers. What I really want is the 34" LTBs. :fsj:
