WTB near Seattle:S-Lite and/or tire takeoffs

I'm looking for a good deal on 4 stock takeoff 205/45-17" runflat tires with under 500 miles. I also have one rashed rim so I would consider a full set of stock 17" silver S-lites with mounted tires that someone took off shortly after buying their Mini S. I really don't want to ship and I'm located in Seattle. I'm fairly picky about wheel condition (yes, I do wax the back side of my wheels... doesn't everyone? ) so that's why I'm looking for newer ones. Anyone looking to get rid of something like this? I would also consider non-runflats in stock 205/45-17 size with low miles if mounted on excellent condition S-lites. It seems like I see these situations fairly regularly here but always far away. Anyone? Anyone?

I would need to ship them, but they would be coming from SLC, utah, so not to bad. Rims and tires i have , have a total of 5-10 miles on them. Needless to say the are in MINT condition. Make me and offer!

Schooner,
I appreciate the notice, but I think even from there it would be over $200 which is too much. The last set I priced from the east coast was over $800 just to ship! That's the reason I was looking to get them locally.

Your shipping costs are waaaaayyyyy off dude.

Should cost around $80 to ship anywhere in the lower 48....lots of tires and wheels are sold on these boards. shipping is fairly reasonable.....and I have found fedex to be the cheapest

Planeguy is right, I have priced these tires and rims to seattle, Total for shipping ups ground is 99.00. and it takes 2 days to get there from Utah. I would ship all 4 tires and rims to your door for 799.00. These are Perelli Runflats with silver S-lties, The tires still have the little hairs on the tread they are that new. There is not a single scratch or ding in the rims. let me know what you think

I will get some photo's ASAP. The only think to show will be the hairs on the tread. If you went to the deal and bought new rims and then took them to a tire shop for mounting, after the tire shop was done that is how these wheels look! absoulty PERFECT!! I will get you some photos!!!

I sold a set on eBay and shipped them Parcel Post for $35 each. That included $200 insurance per wheel/tire (each boxed separately). Delivery took about 8-10 days I believe.

EDIT: Dropped them at the post office on 12/2. Buyer received two on the 8th, the other two on the 12th. Shipped from Phoenix to the New Orleans area (Metairie).

Thanks for the shipping cost feedback. I guess using the UPS shipping estimator isn't reliable!

Thanks for the offer, Tomm, but I think I would prefer tires with less miles on them.
