24" rims? Sounds pimped out to me. Well, if it's not on the hot sheet somewhere, offer them $2,400.

That is to much money for that 24" wheeled truck, considering all the bad stuff that has been done to it. You can't really count those kind of upgrades (24" tires, for example) into its resale value, which is what I am assuming they are trying to do when they ask that much for it.

Loud,

only buy it after you've taken it to your local mechanic, had him find some problems and talked them down about 2 G's.

I would love to see a 2nd gen with 24" rims! HOLY COW!

and firemedic, it's a Chalice, not a pimp cup.
