I recently got a call from an older guy that I've known for decades, that was having electrical issues with his car,
I went over too his home and it took me about 1/2 an hour with a multi-meter to locate and correct his problem,
which was due to a defective relay and a couple bad electrical push-on connectors that had corroded.
when I was done, he asked me what he owed me and I said, not a damn thing!
but if you want to go to the local starbucks I would not refuse a cup of coffee.
well he then said he was moving too a condo at the beach in a couple weeks, that he had inherited ,
and, as a result, of the impending move, his garage was stacked with moving boxes as a result, of his impending move.
I was about to leave with him too get that coffee, when he said,
"hey do you know anyone that could use these tires and rims"
he had indicated a set of 4 large chrome truck rims with tires mounted ,
a quick inspection showed they had a Chevy 6 bolt lug bolt pattern but they were 22"rims,
that looked similar to these,
I never though to ask him what truck they fit,and he had lost the hub caps that covered the lug nuts
he then said, if you want them, they are in my way,
and I have no use for them as I sold the truck,
you can have them all, for ......$20 ,
now I rapidly looked them over again,
and could not see any damage other than minimal corrosion,
on the back sides from brake dust so I said ....
OK., you got a deal!....AND THANK YOU!
you know they are worth more than that!
he said yeah I know, but you helped me out here,
and I don,t want too deal with low-ballers and looky lous and stupid phone calls ,
I'm moving next week, and have no place too store them.
now I don,t currently own a truck they might fit but for $20 ,
that $5 bucks a wheel with tires mounted,
I doubt Ill loose any money... and I might find out what they fit, or find a use for them.
some times you can,t pass on a deal.
