Title: are Wild Country RVT on Ford truck wheels worth $100
Post by: echojeff on August 10, 2005, 08:30:49 PM

Wild Country RVT on Ford truck wheels.  They have at least half the tread.  Is this set of 4 235 75 15 worth $100? Very ugly hubcaps go with, and a 5th wheel and some unknown tire for a spare.  I grew up in Les Schwab land, but Is that tire any good?

Is the Pope from Germany?

Did the Shuttle land safely?

If you throw away the tires, you just bought a set of 5 wider wheels for 20 bucks a piece so the tires are a bonus!

I drove for three years on used a $40 set of Broncos shod with generic MTs.  It wasn't pretty but the price was right and they wheeled just fine!

I sand-blasted and painted them so they weren't as ugly as the day I got  'em at the junkyard.

BTW, the best money that I spent in a long while was one of those under-20 buck sand blasting guns from Harbor Freight.  They hold 18 oz of fine sand from the lumberyard or silica sand from the auto parts store.  They don't overtax a 1 hp 5 gallon compressor and they do a great job at cleaning up rusty things like steel wheels!

Grab those puppies!

Make sure the center holes are large enough to clear the hubs...

Thanks Digger,
 Years ago my teacher wrote on the about you must never assume....
it makes an 'ass' out of 'u' and 'me'

He had those ugly hubcaps on them, and I did'nt even think about the center hole.
I was thinking of getting them tomorrow, so I will have to check it out.

seriously.....   i bought a set of wheels for 80 dollars, blasted them , cleaned, primed, and painted them all before i checked them on the zuk...           needless to say, i got screwed initially.... didnt fit over the hubs......                              very stupid on my part.

so any way    IMO the tires are real good and the wheels are too.

just make sure they fit :P
