Take the money you're going to spend on wheels and get suspension instead.

Default got it... still trying to figure out what I'm going to do with them...

I'd prefer to sell them locally (SoCal) since the cost of shipping (210 lbs for all 4 with rubber) is a big deterrent, and they very well may get f'd up in transit.

where are you located?
