Hi ...

I'm hoping to just get a feel for what the market will bear in terms of my current wheels/tires .

I have 5 stock alloy wheels for an FZJ80 (1997) . 4 of them have 315x75R16 BFG MT's mounted on them (8 months - 6K miles approx - 1 long trip , the rest short city commutes , only offroaded thrice on back roads in BC)

The wheels themselves lived most their lives in Houston , TX ... and the truck now has 90+K on it .


Note : This is not a classified ad , as yet . Just information gathering ...


TIA ,

For informational purposes, I just spent 500 for 5 used, but good condition BFGs without rims.

I spent 40 for a set of Tundra steels.

I really don't know what the market is for stock alloys. eBay can be a pretty good souce for pricing the market sometimes.

Hopefully you could get out of the full set what you paid for just the tires. A big thing for me would be road hazzard...did you pay for it? is it transferable? I have been known to REALLY use this feature to the tune of a new set of tires.

On the other hand if your looking for a bit of charity work...FSIMIG would be all over you...FSIMIG at it again in the "Wanted Section"...."Give away tires"

Damn...y'all suck. Took my FSIMIG donation suggestion.

FWIW, used 285s and 315s that I've seen recently run about 1/2 new price given the miles you have on there, so $500 seems about right.

OEM rims sold here would probably get you $200.

In the wild world of ebay, you could get twice that amount, at a minimum -- ebay shoppers are pretty stupid. Center caps, if sold on ebay would get you about 40 or 50 USD each -- at least that's what I've seen lately.

FYI- I paid about $65 ea for 5 taco wheels.

I'd guess maybe 600-750?

So...I gotta ask...

Why Ty?

TY dude you're killing me. Those tires look great. Keep em!!

And, if it helps, I sold the stock alloys from my old 91 on ebay for about $275 18 months ago.

So...I gotta ask...

Why Ty?

Don't ask


I will definately be moving into 16x10 wheels when I get out of this wee hole . Whether I eventually replace the rubber with 36 , remains to be seen ...

Good input so far , thanx guys .

You're right ! The first time I sat down and looked into buying an 80 was 1994 . Then I saw what the guys in Iceland and Norway were doing and I was hooked . I will not emulate that because our functions differ , though I will try and balance a tall/fat look with rock crawling abilities unrivalled this side of Starbucks ™ !
