So, I had been looking at buying a set of 4 new Cragar wheels, and then I just saw this today: http://jacksonville.craigslist.org/pts/3186100142.html
Is this a good deal? I'll just spray them with some truck bed liner after a nice cleaning and sanding. I was thinking I'd give him an offer for like $80-$90 for them. What do you all think? Same bolt pattern as the Ex so it should fit... anyone have fitment issues with these?

Seems like a good deal, but be sure the offset is what you want for the tires you plan to put on them.

Don't put bedliner on wheels. Either get them powercoated or just sand them down and use some Rustoleum spray paint made for wheels.
 






Good call on the offset! Totally forgot to check that.
 






I would look closer at the rust in the seams. Can't beat the price though :thumbsup:
 






When you check them out, roll them to see if their bent, take a flat edge or tape measure to check for bends and offset, backspacing. It's about half off the original price.

that good deal. i look still good rims. need black print will look like new.:thumbsup:
 






Bought them all for $80. The rust is very minor and only surface. One small chip on the lip of one wheel, but structurally everything is fine. Thanks for the tips everyone!
