If you're having to ask the question, it's time for new ones IMO. I would just save up and spend the money on new ones if it were my car. If you're talking about buying them from someone else then no I wouldn't pay money for them.

Depends on how cheap you can get them for. A new set is around $400. I wouldn't pay more than $125 for those.

So if you were desperate like I am right now for cheap 17x9.5 wheels and wanted drag radials how much would you pay? The wheels come with the tires.
Like I said before..these will be for track only. I drive to track with streets,change streets to drags and race. Then switch back when drive home.

there getting down there that its gona hydo plan in stainding water easy. wet, and spinkles will be fine but 1/8 standing water thats no tread and the tire in gona get up on it.

AT the track there fine, I was still getting the same 60's on my M&H bald but a slight groove on the sides, and some coards started showing. haha. unless there are 3-4 years old in the sun, or stoared next to the furness or somthing til messes up the rubber with gasses.

If I was getting them mounted abnd ballenced on the rims ready to go, I'd pay 50, 100 most then what the rims are worth.

I'd say they are fine (unless they have small cracks developing, then replace them). As mentioned, don't drive in rain as they may get touchy. I run my M/T until the center grooves are done then replace them.
