I dont see anything in your post that would tip me off to being set up. Not everybody wants to phone-a-friend. Im not up on what a fair price for your rims are but that price dont look too far off what I would guess to be normal (I have been watching for a second set of rims on craigslist myself so I look over autoparts every day). Like you said, they are 15s and a little bit of an odd size 15 at that. If it was a reasonable drive from me, I would go for it.
If you think you are going to get ripped off, I would give 10-1 odds that it will be in the amount of tread on the tires. When people on craigslist sell tires, "brand new takeoffs" seem to always have 2/32 or 3/32 of tread missing. Funny how a tire that wasnt driven and "even still has the nubbies" on it in the listings can lose so much tread. "Half wore out" tires are lucky to not touch Lincolns head.
Have you checked junkyards? I dont think the ones around here even charge extra for tire monitors. If you are just getting steelies for a common 15 inch, Im not sure they would even know to look. Here, a steel rim is $20. $30 or more, dependin on tread, if you want the tire thats on it. Thats you pulling the part price, no idea what it is if you call and have them pull it.

On our first cosmetic restoration, not having a manual, we carefully marked the wires, taped the magneto in the position it came off, and were careful not to turn the engine over while we had these components off. We thought we could get by with this since the engine ran perfectly and would not need any internal work. After the cleanup and painting was done, we began reassembly and finally came to t
