Hit me up with whatever you got. Particularly interested in TrailReady or ATX Chamber Pros. Possibly KMC Machetes as well. Open to looking into any of them though.

I'm unfortunately most of the way across the country from you. I just ordered the Dynatrac 60/60 hardcore package and no longer need my 5x5 wheels. I posted them locally as I really don't know what's involved in shipping 5 beadlocks.
Jeep JK/JKU Beadlocks x5 - TrailReady HD17, USA, Graphite 5x5 Pattern, 3.5" BS
Slim natural scotchbrited aluminum rings, graphite wheel powdercoating. Brand new sealed black zinc TrailReady hardware for each wheel, black lug nuts, brand new sealed valve stems, and extra new black zinc hardware for trail spares. I've wheeled them, and there's some scuffs on the back around the lip, and scrapes on the rings as you'd expect from wheeling. Rings are scotchbrited to hide the smaller scratches. Bought new in May of 2016 and haven't seen a winter yet.
With 37" Toyos mounted at the dots they needed 0 balancing with no vibrations up past 75mph.
I just listed them for $1800 locally. If you are interested, I'd be happy to take some more pictures and look into shipping.

Those would look KILLER on my Granite colored Jeep. Hit me up with a shipping cost to 80215.

I totally agree!! Awesome deal!

Awesome deal and those would look great on your Jeep! UPS or FedEx shouldn't be much more than $25-35 per wheel
Here's an online calculator for UPS: https://wwwapps.ups.com/ctc/request?loc=en_US&appId=fctc
Hardest part would be boxing them up.

Just ran the UPS and Fed Ex calculators. I can fit them with super light foam protection in a 20"x20"x12" box each at 43lbs with the hardware.
Even with me driving the 45 minutes to the UPS hub it's looking to be cost prohibitive at $74.09 each wheel by UPS, $70 by Fed Ex. It doesn't change the price if I list it commercial or residential.
I have no idea how businesses ship so much cheaper, or why it costs a normal guy so much. I also requested a quote from Fastenal, I'll let you know when it comes in. Not looking good shipping wise.

Here's a bunch of closeups of the rings so you can see the rock rash.

I would assume business' can ship them free when they are new is they have $900 to $1000 cost in an $1850 set of wheels but that's a guess. I tried fastenal to ship a drag link from indiana to the west coast and they were more than fed ex which surprised me

Hell yes they would. That would be one sexy looking combo! Those wheels are badass.

You should skip the shipping and set up a network of Wayalife members to shuttle them across the country, then we could meet other members while helping each other out.

Now you're just trying to torture me
Yeah, it's starting to sound really expensive.

Bucket brigade for wheels? Each person could sign their name on the inside of one of the wheels before passing them on

Thanks Ddays. I'm waiting on the quote from Fastenal as well. We'll be in Windrock end of April, and PA a few times before then. This fall we're planning on heading all the way across country to the Rubicon, hitting Ouray and Moab on the way back. I really hope to have them sold by then, but there are possibilities. That's not until Labor day though!

Ok, so here's what I came up with:
For me to act as a middleman (Called a Call Tag if it matters to anyone) & have UPS pick up 5 boxes @ 43# ea. from Buster in MD and deliver to Granite in Co, it would be $54.10 per wheel.
For me to ship direct to Granite from my warehouse in Pittsburgh would only be $39.36 per wheel. I don't have the ability to do a true cost on what it would be to ship from MD. to CO. direct as I have to be the originating
shipper to see true costs. It should be fairly close though. Anything over I would say $40 and that's all "handling fees".
Buster, when & where in PA do you travel to? I get to Cumberland several times a year but you're way the hell down the state from there.
