What Would You Do? - My Delima

[young-runner]

So around 2 months ago I purchased new 33"s for the runner after the lift. Now im kind of not liking the rims and tires i bought. I was looking at some stuff on 4wheelparts.com and ended up looking at tires and rims. I like the black XD Hoss rim in 16" and a 285/75 duratrac, shipped, mounted and balanced to my door its saying just over $1,550. I bought i believe american eagle rims, 17", and 285/70/17 nitto dune grapplers, yeah the ones with the flames.....:flamethrwoer2:
I paid $1900 for that all said and done. Ive thought about selling these and getting the xd hoss and duratracs. Do you think i can get $1300 for these rims and tires? they have maybe 1500 miles and around 2 months old, and i have receipts from the local shop i bought them at. no scratches etc. Heres some pictures:

XD Hoss, 16" wrapped in 285/75/16 duratrac, what i want to replace with:

So what would you do? If i could get $1300 for my current set up it would cost another $250ish to get the new ones.

Thanks!

Oh, and this is all cosmetic, i have no problems with the tires.

Seems like a fair price to me. And I agree that the Hoss wheels look better than the current ones you have.

 

[Rc4r]

Don't do it xd hoss's suck!


I have them. And love them. But they look a lot better in a 17" rim then the 16" imo. I have 16" and wish I got 17"

Oh and check out tirecrawler.com much cheeper prices on tires. I sware by them.

 

[young-runner]

Going up to 17s would cost more. Now i guess an option could be to get 17" hoss and keep my tires... what do you guys think of that? should i just do it all?

16s still look great. And not to be mean. I hate dune grapplers. If it were me is get the duras and hoss

 

[young-runner]

No offence taken, they've preformed great so that side of things is no big deal to me, but the flames...ehhhh. Lets just say they got me. Being 16 it drew me in...and I defiantly didnt realize they dont make any since on that car...I wanna do this, but i dont know if i can get 1300 for those rims and tires

I understand! I'm young as well. 18. And I've wanted to do some goofy things to my runner. But its a good thing I get a lot of opinions on things first.

I say go for it. But you never know what you can get tell you throw a post up on craigslist.

 

[young-runner]

Yeah I regret it. The biggest problem I think is that if I post them on cl, and someone wants them, there on the car and I have no other wheels right now to put it on. So i cant figure out what to do. And I'd have to sell these before I'd buy the hoss/duratrac

 

[Hepar]

You could probably find a cheap set of wheels and tires that have a little life on them that will fit on your Runner for the transition.

 

[young-runner]

i just remembered, i have my old 245/70/16s sittin in the trees and the crazy pitted stock rims. to bad there not mounted. but that could work for a few weeks i guess. Damn it looks bad though :/

Do you guys think its worth a few hundred bucks to upgrade? assuming i get 1300? im still undecided...

YES! No offenses, but those tires are horrible. You might have a hard time selling both together, but maybe not. Depends on your market. It's better to get rid of them now while they are still new than later on.

:barf:

Your current wheels look way better. Yeah, the tires are kind of flaming (pun totally intended), so I'd just try to sell those and get duratracs or treadwrights (probably duratracs, cause money doesn't seem to be an issue for you)

I feel like the "multiple thin spokes" styled wheels look out of place on a truck or SUV. They belong on a car. You want big, beefy, manly spokes.

 

[J-money$$$]

you should ditch those flame tread tires, and the bling bling wheels. that combo looks really tacky IMO. i dont blame you for wanting to get rid of them after 2 months. Anything is an improvement over the current set-up
