Evan can do it for 6-800 and I can probably sell the rubicon stock wheels and tires for 500. I doubt the dealership can do that.
You may already know this, but depending on which springs you have there may be a huge market for the take-offs. If you have anything heavier than say... 18-58's or more, you can sell the shocks and springs pretty easy. My JK came with 15/55's.. My build sheet had no tow package and a soft top. I added Rubi springs at 18-59 with Rubi shocks and gained 1.7" of lift with the hard top on using OE correct and warranty friendly parts.

It's a three hour drive from LI. Great store to browse around, but unless you have other stuff you need or want done, might be more productive to call. Call Carlyse Manufacturing as well. They make the wheels and have an inventory system that can decipher what vendors have stock.

THank you for the offer. I have a bit of a conumdrum. I have every intention of selling the 5 wheels and tires. Here is the problem. The dealer just offered me a SICK price for them. Now maybe im an idiot (certainly possible) but the original price I was going to ask for them is more than half what the dealer is saying they will give me as long as their inventory is low.

Let me see if the dealer follows through then we will talk. fair enough?
