My brother in law just finished the install of 37" H1 wheels/tires on his 4 door Wrangler. As a result, I have the opportunity to buy his barely used wheels and tires from him. The wheels have a lifetime warranty and the tires are the size I want next anyway. It's 5 wheels, 5 barely used tires, and 4 tires w/ ~25% tread usable for spares.
These are the wheels:

And the tires are 35" BFG KM2s with hardly any wear.
Question: What dollar amount should I offer him? He has indicated being very generous, but that's not how I operate. I would prefer to give him at least close to what he could expect by selling them on the Jeep forums or Craigslist. I've done some research and have seen prices all over the place. So, what would you say is a fair price to pay for this setup?
I have to get adapters to fit the wheels and have been quoted at $280 for adapters that I will trust. There are cheaper alternatives but I won't fool with aluminum when adding this much weight. They also come with a lifetime guarantee.
Being just married and still working out the fun part of accounting for the extra expense of a wife (LOL), I'm not sure how much I should be putting into my truck right now, but I really want to do this. I'm also about to rebuild the engine of my '69 Cougar (goal of 500+ hp), so I hate for the two to compete over funds because the ST will lose every time. If it's reasonably within reach, I'll sell my stock wheels/tires at whatever offer I can get to help offset the costs.
What do y'all think?
