Jeremy how much do you want for five of them? If Twitch is coming up here to pick up those seats in a few months you can pick up five of the wheels and bring them back to me. Let me know how much and if I can talk Wendy into letting me get them I'll grab a set of five.

Alright folks I need to apologize to the group. I was just cleaning up the set I bought last nite and noticed that the King Ranch truck these rims were on was loaded alot and must have had a few miles on her. Needless to say the beads on the rims are significantly worn. I'll post this mistake on my part so that someone else wont make it aswell. Its my fault for buying in the dark and for being in a hurry and not looking them over closer.

Anyway here they are. So for the time being I dont think I have a complete set to hook anyone up with. Im not a wheel expert but these look pretty worn to me, i'll let the experts on here tell me if im wrong. The first set has a rim spoken for ao that only leaves 3 of them. We'll see what the pics look like of the 3rd set I was contacted about last night.






















These arent in the best shape either, it's amazing how much someone can neglect their wheels.

rob, I would attack those spots by trying to feather the edges of the clear around the bare spots and then doing some touch up work, even if its with a brush you should be able to work the finish our so it looks fine. Maybe not show quality but good in a big picture view.

I've run worse looking stuff on my old daily driver Chevy pickup, those alloys never lost any air but were really ugly with some curb rash, a few questionable rim "irregularities" and tons of powdery corrosion. As long as those KR rims are true with no wobbles then they should be perfectly fine and if their looks aren't as clean as your EX they would make good matching size spares. And it sounds like the price is about half what I paid for my Lariats 5 years ago.

Those wheels just look like a tire tech who was a bit aggressive. As Tom mentioned, if they hold air and aren't square, I'd run em!

Lightbulb Helpful hint

Don't be afraid of baked on brake dust, pitting, or stains.

I tried cleaning first with a wheel cleaner, then a detail cleaner/polish and finally Soft Scrub(R) and a tooth brush.

Ok so a few on here think the second set of KR's numbers 5 thru 8 are use able. Lenny(Mikpsdad) spoke for two of the first KR's numbers 1 thru 4 awhile back. So I paid 300 for the first set and 200 for second. So 500/8 is $62.50 each. Plus any shipping of course. I returned the first PM I recieved on the second set, and am making my way down the list 1 by 1 to see whose interested. Thats the fair-est way I could think of. So we have 6 KR rims to go. Here are the pics of rims 3 and 4. Mikpsdad spoke for rims 1 and 2.





























Number 3 has a buggered up section on the inside of the rim and shown in the pics. I had the tire dealer mount a tire on it and run it on the balancer to see if the wheel ran true. And it did. I wrote the rim number on each rim near the holes for the lug nuts. Black marker for 5-8, and red marker for 1-4
