FYI....
These are actually on the NJ craigslist site. I offered the seller $500 and he said no, almost as if my offer insulted him. The tires are junk. The rims are the value here. I think $100 each is a fair price. New ones are $150 each. These need tires dismounted, disposed, rims need sandblasting and primer...those items add up to about $60 bucks per rim....at $950 for 5 he is asking $190 each.." Minus the cost to get them ready for use puts them at $130 each....so my offer of $100 each wasn't that far off.

How good are the new reproduction rims? Anybody had any experience with them?

I agree with you Steve.But for some reason there are a lot of people that will pay ridiculous money and go to any extreme for original parts instead of repro.Especially when it comes to MB or Gpw parts.Makes it a lot more difficult for those of us wanting to get enough parts to have a running,driving, not 100% f marked and nos parts, WW2 Jeep.Oh well the hunt is part of the fun.Actually just saw 5 combat rims near Buffalo for $75 each,of course they are already sold!
