Wheel opinions

I just found some Western slots on Craigslist. They're 16.5 which I know are difficult to get tires for. The tires on these are in good shape as per the seller. Would you put these on over the Alcoa's I currently have. I'm so torn but I'm a sucker for slots. When you think they're worth with tires?

You should put what you like best on your truck whether they’re slots or turbines like you mentioned in your other post. If it were me I’d sit tight and wait for some 16s to come along for the reason you mentioned. Good luck!

Yeah good point. If I were to offer him something what do you think they're worth? He wants $550. I would pick slots all day over my Alcoas but I know Alcoas are made better made and 16.5 are a tough size. Decisions decisions.

In rural Nevada where I’m from they’re probably worth that. I paid more than that for my turbines with no tires and haven’t regretted it one bit.

Man I searched for those and could never find them. I finally found a set that ironically was for sale less than 5 minutes from my house. I ended up passing on them due to price (he wanted $700 for just the wheels) but mainly because finding tires was difficult. I mean, you can find them all day, but I didn't want bias ply Super Swampers, which is about all I could find. I wanted a quality AT so I went with 16's and BFG KO2's.
