Bought 5 steel rims (tubed wolf ex 130) and 5 michelin xzl tyres (1 new, 4 abt 70%) over ebay for $650 a year or two ago and thought it was quite a good buy.

Thanks Justin, figured they would be around that price, just wasnt to sure how expensive they were....

Some people are just so tight.

New xzl's retail for $400 plus, the HD rims are 400 plus from land rover, 220 from the independents, so any one asking 600 bucks for 4/5 is really giving them away, plus new ones come in black only, there's a cost there too for painting.

I know, but all 130's delivered HERE seem to be with tubed, 110's usually with tubeless. (Or alloys)

Yes The XZL is a great tyre though. I would love some but in 255/85...Which they don't make:( (255/100 is almost 37" :twisted:)

I got my Wolf tubeless ex UK from our local supplier for $220 ea, as you mention came only in black primer. I had them painted in an early model Toyota Prado silver along with the bullbar at the same time which helped keep the $$ down a bit.(Panel shop was a bit slow and needed the work:))

Eventually I'll have the tyres fitted (255/85 BFG MT) and the bar on then the vehicle will be another step closer...:)

Not sure if you were refering to my post Juddy. I was just refering to ACTUAL price that I obtained on ebay for 5 rims. As I said, they are only worth what someone is willing to pay. Sure you can pay more _ I wish someone had of bid more for mine.:( I have seen a few dissapear on ebay for less than $100 per rim, so that appears to be what they are "worth".;)

As for one good XZL, yes great tyre but not worth as much if you are only buying one. (Unless you have 3 or 4 more good ones:)) Also worth checking the age of this tyre as I suspect it would be over 5 years old (unused spare?) , so not worth as much - even if unused.

Yes the list price is +$650 ea......are they worth that ? perhaps not.:angel:
