Message:
OK, i need some help. I'm looking for a set of rims for my dakota with 3.75 or 4.00 inch backspacing(15x8 or 15x7). 4 wheel parts only have a set of eagle rims with my bolt pattern for $92 each. That's a little too high for me considering the fact that i have to pay for my wheel bearing problem which is $555. Can anyone assist me in finding a rim or is anyone interested in selling theirs? I will be selling my stock 15x8 alum rims (set of 5) if you are interested.

Is it front wheel bearings? If it is you could easily take care of it yourself. It's really easy to swap in new ones since it's all part of one assebly. Without ABS you could have less than $300 in parts and about 2 hours in your driveway.

If you can wait about a month or two then I can sell you mine. I have the ae 589's and I have 5 of them, but right now they are on my truck and need to be at least until the beginning of the year, I am going solid so the lug patter will be different. I haven't decided if I am going to keep the tires though, most probably because of cost of the conversion. I haven't come up with a good price yet but most probably between 60 and 70 a wheel (300-350). They are still in great shape though, I have only had them for about 8 months. Well let me know if you would be interested.

You can still sell me yours even if i were not in cally. But papa smurf is selling 5 for 300 to 350 so i think that deal rocks, unless someone can beat that price on 4 or 5 rims.
Hey Papa Smurf, let's arrange this transaction somehow. That way i know it's final and i can schedule a repair date. I don't want to repair my truck and then put the spacers back on, ending up blowing my bearings again. I'd rather have the rims ready when it's being fixed.
Again, i'm selling all 5 of my stock rims, if anyone's interested, drop me a line here.

Chaximus, you were supposed to say you're not interested so I could get them. Now, let's try this again, shall we? :-)

I have a set of 16x8 American Racing Teron's that were used for 6 months and never off-roaded, one rim came from the factory with a small defect on the edge near bead that is barely noticeable and I didn't even see it until after I mounted the tires. It does not cause leaking at all and like I said is not really noticeable. I paid $800 for the set and would let them go for $475 plus shipping which from what I have seen is around $100-125 to most areas. I am going to be getting a set of deeper dish rims with more offset in preparation for the Rancho lift:) Looking at the Centerline Hellcats.

2THEXTRM,
What's the backspacing on your wheels?

I believe they have 5.0 backspacing, they stick out about 1/2 inch further than stock wheels and are a little bit wider by measurement than stock. I get compliments all the time, they are off for the winter while I use my stockers. Here is what they look like:
