It sounds like a pretty good deal to me. The hubs alone could set you back
$50. New ones sell for well over $100 each. That is before we even get into
the rear end itself.
And wire wheels are not a PITA if they are maintained. Just be sure to keep
the splines greased or you will pay later in much pain.
I much prefer them to the rostyle wheels.
