Uh, I'm usually the first to agree about used wheels and tires, having bought and sold them many times myself. But although I think his number might be a bit high, why all of a sudden is that "crazy high"? I'm giving this guy the benefit of the doubt here that the stuff is new or damn near. Given Bekkers price on the wheels (about 650 each, which for all you guys that think they're so great is within about $30 per wheel of list), and tire rack's price on the 8080's, I'm just curious about what's is so high? 650 x4 =2600 plus approx 1100 for tires=3700. By the way, those wheels don't come with center caps or lugs included. I know, I just bought some. Then you've got to mount and balance them. And pay freight to Tire rack. It seems everytime someone posts anything for sale on this board, the first impulse is to say it's "too high". Just my .02. Oh BTW, ouch doesn't have a T in it.
