Is this a decent price for this set-up?

Saw this set-up for some 17x9 black Fuel Hostage wheels with 285/70x17 Nitto Terra Grapplers mounted balanced with center caps and lug nuts included for $1487 and $168 S&H. Is this a decent price?

I'd say so I was quoting rims and good year kevlars on other sites and they were all around about that price don't think it'll differ much anywhere

I figured so too, thought I'd get some opinions from other F150 guys too. I know the 285 Cooper S/T's I want are pushing a grand plus 700-800 bucks for a set of 17X 9 Hostage rims. So that's 1700-1800 right there. I just don't know how good the Nittos are compared to Coopers. I always use Coopers because they seem to last forever.

I have never used s/ts but I haven't had much luck getting coopers to last on a couple suvs and powerstroke. My buddy had nitto terras on his 3/4ton chevy and it seemed like they were on the forever!

If I get them I hope they last. I usually get about 2 1/2 years of use out of a set of Coopers. I typically drive 15-25k miles a year, mostly on road. The set I have on my Trooper right now are two years old this month and still have well over half the tread left. But, all I've ever run at S/T's.
