Have you factored in the cost of replacing those widowmaker rims into your offer? The one in that photo is definitely an RH-5 wheel.

I agree. I still can't understand how it is leaking so badly down the outside of the wheel if it is brake fluid.

Just about any truck I find is, most likely, going to have those rims, so it will always be a price factor.

Thanks for the info.
