They were a 2-3K option depending on the year and I have seen good sets of them go in the $400-$500 range

If they are perfect, I would offer $700/750.00. They do make a difference in unsprung weight and handling. I love mine!

Thanks for the help, the owner said some chips and curb rash, so I will keep looking.

they can crack/bend easily, so do a good check of the rims before purchase. I had to recently replace mine

I saw this set, or I assume this set, and it recently sold. The pics looked very good.

Sounds like a good deal. Someone told me that they only weigh like one pound less than the 01'-04' wheels. How can that be?
