A good buy to me might not be a good one to you. But if it was me I woudn't pay over 200 for them. Less than 1/2 tread and rock rash on the wheels, I'd lowball the crap out of him, but Moabs are pretty common around here. _________________ | |||

I met a guy who was going to sell me his Moabs for $100 locally but they won't fit the hubs I'll be running. If tires are below 50% then they aren't worth much at all if anything either. That said, if you really want to buy these because they are less expensive than all the other Moabs you've come across and you are cool with paying that much, then go for it. For me, it seems too much, but a lot of people say they can't find Moabs for less than $300 for just the wheels. I guess it depends on where you are and how common they are. _________________ | |||

The spare was brand new, the other 4 tires had 60% rubber on them. The rims were in excellent condition. _________________ I took the road less traveled. Now I'm LOST. | ||||

Joined: Fri Oct 05, 2007 6:41 am Posts: 1815 Location: Northern Virginia | I live pretty close to Culpeper. I just emailed the owner for pics. I can probably drive over that way this weekend and look at them for you if he doesn't have any pics. In fact, I need an excuse to get to the Tidewater area anyway so if things work out and you buy them let me know. I can probably pick them up for you and run them down there on a weekend. BTW, I bought a set of 5 from a Jeep owner on another Jeep board for less than $500. Mine were almost new. 6000 miles on 4 of them and the spare was virgin. Try posted a "wanted" in the classifieds section of other local Jeep message boards. When they upgrade their Rubicon's these thing have got to go! _________________ | ||||

As long as you are happy with the price and what you are getting for it is all that matters in the end.| tjkj2002 | Post subject: Posted: Tue Feb 10, 2009 10:01 pm | |||

If you paid less the $600 for a set of 5 with decent tires on them you got a very good deal.Have you priced MOAB's? There almost $200 each new.You will find sets for way less since some just want them gone. | |||

Why anyone would pay full price for new ones makes no sense at all to me though. $200 for a set is almost too much if any have trail rash from my shopping around when I was going to get some to save weight which wasn't really much of a savings. And most I see are being sold because they bought a new jeep or a used one that someone never took off road and they don't need them because they are going to get big blinging wheels or black steelies. _________________ | |||

I am always looking and usually see them for around 500+ for 5. Perhaps it is just your area...if so when are you coming back down _________________ | |||
