Buying Wheels and Tires Question

I am negotiating with Discount Tires for a set of 285\50\20s and the MB Precise or American Torqr Thrust wheels. They are offering either 300.00 for my Lariate wheels and tires or the fourth wheel free, but not both

Do I keep my set and sell them, is there a market for them, or do I let them go? i am dealing with the Discount tires in lake jackson, TX.

I would hold onto them at least until your warranty expires. If you get rid of them...and then you have some type of nibble or vibration...the first thing Ford is going to say is "It's those aftermarket wheels and tires". If you end up with a problem like this and keep your original wheels and tires...then you can just slap them back on before you take it in.

Hope this helps.

I would agree. Those wheels from Ford cost almost 300 each.

If you were closer then texas Id gladly give you $300 for them.

I agree, dont sell them till your coverage is close to up. When your ready, EBay my friend!
