Good deal?

[mistaj0hnny]

I've been wanting some black FJ Cruiser wheels for a long time. Last night while looking through Craigslist I came across a set of 4 with Bridgestones(90% tread left) that were already painted black and offered the guy 300 for the set. I get an email this morning and he agrees. He's also throwing in a brand new 5th wheel/tire. So just making sure, am I getting a good deal?

Sounds damn good to me.

yes very much so an awesome deal!

Thanks for confirming guys, just set to meet-up with the seller later today!
Can anyone confirm if the stock Bridgestones that came on the FJ's fit on a 3rd gen without any issues?

 

[K2Runner]

What size? I think they should

 

[mistaj0hnny]

Seller didn't know what size, but he says they came factory on the FJ so I'm assuming its 265/70/17?

I can't wait to see the pictures, i've wanted those rims forever! it's so stupid TRD makes them so difficult to get a hold of.

Had them mounted tonight!! Pics tommorow morning, they were in better condition then I imagined! The guy babied these.. they look aggressive.

I think that's a great deal too. You were probably looking for reassurance because he accepted your offer so fast.....but just think, he's like the rest of us......he wants something new / different <--- even if he loses money. His impatience lead to your benefit! Awesome.

and the spare..

they're still really dirty and need a deep cleaning but I'm going to be busy this weekend so it'll have to wait.

those look good man, i may have missed it but are those the 17's? cause they look like the stock fj wheels painted black which still looks pretty slick. If you really like the TRD caps you can buy those seperatly. TRD actually will sell those to anyone and they will fit on those wheels. I've seen them before. if your interested ill see if i can dig up a part # But cool man nothing like a new set of shoes!

whoaaa entirely transformed the look of the truck!

Yeah, they're 17's. that'd be cool. I've seen them before as well and I think there is a set on ebay with the trd caps.

Thanks for the compliments. I have to admit for $300 that was well worth it
