Thinking about getting these as a winter set of wheels and tires (if they fit lol) think they'll look halfway decent?? Thoughts??

They look like they'll suck in the snow or ice IMHO. I've never found a mud tire that was good in the snow or ice, they act more like slicks in the rain than anything.

The wheels are MINT! Aren't many out there today I like, but I like those.

 

You probably don't have to worry too much about ice and snow, but I agree with Daly on that, especially if they have some years and the rubber has hardened a bit. Skinny is good for snow, and heavy rain. Would be great 3 season tires though.

 

 

 

Speaking of that, I just finally mounted my Blizzak DM-V2's I got last month on the OEM 18's. Was waiting for this to come in before I did: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B015WWHZQ2/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

 

Should stop the constant bead leaks from aluminum corrosion.

The tires are shit I'd get new ones put on, just cheapos more than likely. I figured if I can get the wheels for cheap and use them as winter wheels, I wouldn't care if they got tore up plus they look pretty nice

Yeah, that'd be a nice set of winter wheels. I always hate throwing mine on - the 18's aren't nearly as nice as my 20's are.

Finally got around Monday to making room for the boat once we get its trailer road worthy, hopefully this weekend that'll be done. The Holiday Rambler (white trailer) wouldn't move, the brakes locked up for some reason so all I did was dig holes with the dually. Managed to get the Airstream moved over, literally with inches to spare, even though the passenger side tires aren't seated. It got dragged around just fine. Neither jack would work on their own so we hot wired them I guess would be the right term, always good to have a spare battery and jumper cables around. Had to drop the head to the lowest setting, ripped the rear bumper off on the Airstream.

You should hire a kid to brush scrub those down, it would be money well spent I think. Would increase the look and value.

Paided $707 to State for yearly vehicle registration. $149 for the 3/4 ton and $558 for the dually plated 26,000.

 

Drained oil on 2013 dually and greased. 57,000 moles

This kind of response is almost worth more than the money he gave me.

They are, sadly mine isn't anymore.

I do need to hit it with a pressure washer. At this point I'd be glad if someone wanted them vs increasing value. They've been sitting probably a decade now.

    • I was the GM of a Lincoln Mercury dealership back in the 80's. The service lot was always full with "broken" ones. Plenty of transmissions, power windows and a/c repairs. The only one I'd consider owning would be the Marauder at this point and it certainly wouldn't be a daily driver.  My 2025 GMC Sierra 1500 Denali Ultimate is my "Lincoln Town Car" in my retirement. I want all the "stuff". Big infotainment screens, one touch power windows, Supercruise (I won't buy another vehicle without it), hands free pretty much everything. I'm going to swap my current truck for a 2027 Yukon Denali Ultimate so I can have the air suspension and surround vision recording along with all the other "stuff". 
    • Yep mine is on backorder also.
    • The Denali Ultimate's grille is tinted, but the "regular' Denali has a bright chrome grille like the current models.
    • Because that is IDIOTIC, much like this question. They've already been forced to do it by past administrations - why would you roll that back when it's a GOOD thing?  WHO IS ARGUING FOR LOWER MILEAGE???? 😂  NOBODY IS!!   I'm certainly not! What I want is RELIABLE vehicles again that are worth the price paid!    I don't get your logic here ...   In 2003 I paid $2,200 for our '86 Grand Marquis. It's STILL running and I've never been inside the engine, aside for the timing cover since it was leaking, so I threw a new timing set in since that makes sense. Transmission is ORIGINAL. Electric pump in the gas tank is ORIGINAL. Rear end is ORIGINAL. I'd have to hit my head REAL hard to want to pay $60k or more for a car that still can't come close to the comfort, seating and storage space, or reliability of this one. Nothing is even in the ball park! Hundreds of thousands of brands and models have been built and sent to the crusher while this one keeps on going!   https://postimg.cc/Z9XRrCSg   I've got a whole fleet of cars, motorcycles, and a truck close to this age for summer and winter. No one could pay me enough to buy anything built this century. I have zero use for any it.
    • Since I'm the one who has to fix them when they break, I'll take vehicles over 30 years old all day, EVERY day, over ANY modern crap. Have you attempted any repairs on anything built after 2006? It's a friggin nightmare, and gets worse the newer the model year.    If I had the will or desire, I can make any car of any age outside of a Model T (I don't have THAT much will ...) just as powerful, comfortable, and have all the tech the new stuff does, and get pretty close in mileage, too. I prefer SIMPLICITY. The less the vehicle has, the less to fix WHEN it breaks, not IF.   I'm glad you snot-nosed punks don't like them. More for us, plus that keeps the prices from climbing more than they already have.👍
