Question YAY or NAY...would reeally love your input fellas

http://cleveland.craigslist.org/pts/1082971851.html

My situation is that all my tires are completely BALD and I am in need of new tires. I decided to look on craigslist for something within 150miles to cleveland and came across these. I know they are 1piece cast wheels but the reviews i've read so far aren't TOO bad. They also come with cheap tires on them nexxen n7000's. But I figured for the right price why not get some wheels along with new tires. Both are said to be only 2 weeks old. Say if I can get em for like $1000...should I pull the trigger ????

Thanks in advance guys.

Nay, stay FAR away from Sterns. They are known for cracking, if u want decent wheels for that price look into Rota.

Thanks for the input so far guys...not too shabby on response time . I know I would prefer some nice wheels but times are bad and I wouldn't feel right dropping a few grand on a luxury item. I try to look through the classifieds for nice used wheels. But there isn't anything local and shipping just removes any room for bargaining. *sigh*

Romeo, there is a guy up here around the Chicagoland area with a set of Axis Reverbs with tires for sale. He's had them up for sale for a long time and nobody has bought them. I think you could probably low ball him at this point and have a fair shot at picking them up. It's a longer drive than you were looking for, but it's do-able, and these sizes are nice IMO.. not a very heavy wheel either. Direct link to the thread is below.
