Default What to do... What to do...

A mate of mine is about to buy an XH XR6 with AJR 17's on it with buttloads of tread... he said he wants to a direct swap with my 16" xr rims with almost bald tyres. What do you guys think?

upgrade for nothing.
also saving u money in the long run.
17" tyres are just as cheap as 16"

You would have to be crazy not to swap. Even if the XR rims had tread and the AJRs didn't it would still be a good deal.
