I have a set of aluminum wheels that were on my car when I bought it. Have about 1,000 miles on them. They are polished wheels with the little holes around the circumfrence. They are about 1 1/4" diameter. They are all 15x7 and are like new.
A guy down the street has an old S-10 that has a set of american racing torq thrust. The original gray center / machined lip. They are a little beat up but presentable. What ro you think my chances are that he would swap? How would you go about it? I will offer to re-mount the tires on the other rims. Maybe new lug nuts? $100.00?
I'm thinking he might bite as the wheels I have are new & shiny. Any suggestions?

Why ask us? Ask him if he's interested.

this is part of the "fun" of this hobby. the wheeling and dealing aspect. as long as you both come out without being angry, it is a good deal.
offer a straight up trade, and work from there.
