Which one? hah.

How good/bad is the first posting? with 9k miles on them?

The one that is a 3 hour round trip is tricky, my buddy wouldn't be able to get them for 2 weeks, so I'd have to see if the seller is willing to hold them for me.

2015 GMC 18'' High Polished Alloys -with- 265/65/18'' Goodyear Wrangler SRA B/W Tires, with chrome lug nuts. NO TPMS which is sort of a pain, I'd have to buy those and have them installed.

The wheels look like this:


$1200........


Not sure how good/bad of a deal this is anymore.

How many miles? If they are nearly brand new tires then I think its a decent deal. Hell, you may even be able to talk them down a little

less than 20 miles on the wheels. I figure I'll have another $200 in TPMS and installation?

No luck with 20's around here. These will be my winter tires, so the extra side wall will actually help in the snow.

I'm taking my 20s off this winter.

Pull the trigger?

Anyone know the P/N for the TPMS's? I'd like to see how much those will set me back first

Looks like 13581558 for the TPMS. $76/each at the dealership, $20/each from AC Delco on Amazon.

My wheel guy would have about $30 with installing them, so I'd have $1310 in these rims, tires, lug nuts and TPMS

Thoughts?

Wheels need protection period. Winter or not. A good coating or sealant maintained regularly will slow down if not totally stop the aging process. Check out autogeek.net for products and they have a forum section with product reviews. I have my chrome SS 20's coated with CQuartz a nano glass coating and they can be cleaned with just pressurized water alone.
