If so, how much did you get for them? That is with the tire included.

Been looking at that as well. There are a few on ebay, but no takers ;0(

Sad thing about the G is it's a "modders" car, so people will want to upgrade rims and such. So supply is high and demand is low.

On the other hand, I've been thinking of getting the M wheels. M owners on the other hand typically are not the modders car, so their wheels are low in supply, but high in demand from us G owners. sighh...

I'm sure you would be happy to sell them for $1,000. Do they come with a $500 Gas Card?

seeing as they are a $400 option (like they should be) you will be hard-pressed to get over $200 for them.

Try selling to the nissan crowd... or find out what else they could fit.

I doubt it. It won't even be worth selling them at that point. Just the tires are most likely worth more than that. You guys are underestimating the wheels. They are nice looking wheels! They are a $400 upgrade and considering the price of the regular wheels is already factored in to the price of the car, they should go for around a $1000. The supply and demand issue might lower the price but I think they are worth more than a $1000. The 19" M wheels are going for about $1800 so I think I might be able to pull it off for about $1000.

Got to love the nature of low-ballers... If someone offered me $200 for a brand new set of wheels and tires I would laugh in their face. Listen to what your saying... $400 UPGRADE. Don't forget about the other $800 or so for the other wheels.

i understand. but that's how buyers behave. if the access price is $400 (I don't care if it's an upgrade... that's what the buyer pays), then that will drive the market price down, period.

welcome to microeconomics.

Well that boils down to people willing to sell their wheels for $200. If they didn't sell, the price would go up. Lucky for me I like the wheels and don't like selling stock parts anyway.

It makes more sense to keep the stock wheels and put them back on when you sell the car. Then you can sell the aftermarket one seperate and make more $$.

keep all stock parts. this way, if something goes wrong, you can put the stock parts back on before you bring it to the dealer to get repaired under warranty.
