I came across these double vein wheels. http://portland.craigslist.org/mlt/pts/385576271.html I really thought they looked nice and the tires have really good tread. But will these Nitto NT250 Tires P245/50R16 tires provide good traction? The other thing I noticed is that all the wheels are fronts. Should this sway me from these wheels. I was thinking about offering him less, because they are all fronts. What would you guys do?

Looks like a good deal to me. I don't know anything about those tires. If Tirerack.com sells that brand you can look at reviews.

As far as all being fronts it just pushes the rear wheel out toward the fender lip a bit more. Visually I think it looks a little better. I just picked up two more front wheels so I can do that. Paul (Twilightoptics) is running fronts all the way around.

If they are exactly what the ads says, I'd get my butt over there and get them. My tires were $440, and I dropped around $250 on a set of 90-92 Z28 wheels. I wanted the 90-92 style wheels, but for this price I'd have reconsidered going with the 89 style.

not a big fan of the double vein IROC's, but the rubber alone is probably worth the $400 if they're in as good a shape as he's saying.
