Default Deal or No Deal (Trading Rims and Tires)

So, for fun, I put my rims and tires on Craigslist to see if anyone would trade for a stock set of rims and tires. Within 30 minutes of posting, someone offered. Keep in mind that I DO NOT want big tires and rims, and am happy with stock rims. His are from a 2000 Chevy 4x4 sub 1500

I have 16" Pro-Comp Xtreme rims with Trash tires on them. He offered to trade these. Deal or No Deal?

If you like them, go for it. The factory wheels cost a lot more than the Pro Comps do.
I like the looks of the Pro Comps but it's your truck.

The looks are OK, but I don't care for the big tires and wide rims. Mine is a family hauler that probably won't see much off road (besides country roads), so gas mileage is a little more important.

Looks like it could be the factory size tire to me.

It's not too bad, but don't let the pics fool you. It's got some issues (clear coat coming off, broken grille, missing roof rack rails, cracking chrome trim, left over residue from the broken vent visors, tint missing off passenger window, and so on. More so stuff that I know about that with a quick glance you wouldn't really notice.)

We'll keep that to ourselves so I can nominate you for the next Truck of The Month contest. LOL
I won truck of the year with my Tahoe and I could give you a similar laundry list.

Is that the jeep I'm going to be following at RC this spring?
I'll have to follow because the winch on my K5 is mounted on the front so I can tow you back.
Just kidding, those Rubicon's are pretty awesome on the trails.
