QUICK!! Need advice before someone else takes them!

K, just as I usually do, I was searching around for some wheels and found these. One has a crack, but it would be a lot cheaper to do this and get one wheel than all 4 with 4 separate tires.

Let me know what you all think.

As a spare or, a big paper weight?
I would personally take a Pasadena on that wheel,
even knowing a very good wheel man. But, YMMV.

I get it, now...misread your intent.
It almost sounds too cheap for even 2 wheels, let alone the set.
Hard to see the wheel(s) condition in those pics.
But, if you like the set, and can cop an oe replacement for that
cracked wheel, it's your call.

Yea I think the guy is just dumb and doesn't know their value, and he just said he needs money. Also didn't know what the word "tread" meant, so even more reason for him not to know what they are worth ya know.
Gonna check em out, will update

It's a good deal.
I WOULD consider possibly driving them to a local tire joint and pay the $$$ just for a spin to see how good or bad it spins.

I'd pass. Cracked rims means someone hit something HARD. If you buy them, do as someone else suggested and put them on a balancer and see how they roll. As for the tires, too low profile for the X. If you think your ride is a little rough now, put those on and take the X out for a spin over some bumps. 30 or 35 aspect sidewalls will kill you. 19's on an X are 50 in the front and 45 in the rear, according to the manual. That and your odometer will be WAY off. As for thinking the guy is dumb and doesn't know anything, he may be much smarter than you think. Never assume..........

Not positive if they will fit. They are style 128's from a fiver. I would like to see what they would look like if they do fit. Might be nice.

You can buy that set, send the cracked one to this guy and get a good one for $350.
