Too Much for G37 Coupe 19s???

Is $1600-1700 getting towards the end of the good "value" spectrum for some take-off coupe 19s and becoming not worth it? They have only about 200 miles on them and come with TPMS, so I'm really considering it because they're BARELY used

Any comments?

If they include the tires then I'd still buy them. I would consider up to $2,000 with tires. If they do not include the tires, then $1,600 isn't that bad either.

at that price I'll sell you my wheels...

Personally, I think that is way too expensive.. I think the average price when I bought my G37 wheels were around $1100. But that doesn't include TPMS and around 5000 miles on the tires.

I did and I've seen a set for 1200 few weeks back. However they were without the tpms sensors.

Ya, considering TPMS sensors cost over $200.00, and with only 200 miles, I'd say that's a very good price. I'd buy those if I could find a set like that.

If you can talk it down to $1400-$1500 that would be a great price. However, 1600-1700 isn't that bad either considering new Potenzas cost ~300 each and TPMS sensors are ~75-80 each (both quoted from Tirerack)

Tpms sensors are around 75 each. if you like them buy them its cheaper then most aftermarket rims and tires...

i think 1500 is a good deal if you get tpms and new tires...but i would probably never get g37 wheels in the first place, that's just me though...i think the stock 18"s look better than the g37 19"s...

i've seen them go as low as 900 dollars with tires.....of course there are miles on them and no TMPS.

yea the big thing on them is that they come with basically new tires and the sensors - but can the sensors be just moved from my sedan 18s? Then possibly I could sell my second set of TPMS?

I'm thinking of using the coupe wheels as my day to day wheels, then when I start tracking/autocrossing the car I can throw on the 18s and burn through those tires instead

Indeed the OE TPMS are interchangeable. Unfortunately, you have to unmount the tire to get access to your monitors.

Oh that's a complete pain...

I see you've got GT-S and Coupe 19s.....I envy you. Wanna sell me either?

I think the g37 wheels look great on the sedan, unlike some wheels that ppl put on sedans and should only be put on coupes, these are not one of those. just my opinion..
