what are my rims worth? HELP ME
 
i have NO idea what kind of rims are on my car..i have researched and asked around on the net etc and i can't figure it out. There are no markings to distinguish them on the rim either! Anyways, i'm thinking of parting the car out and a few people have asked me about my rims. BUT i have NO CLUE how much they are worth, what do you think they are worth ladies and gentlemen? or what would you pay for them, given that u like them haha.
i'll just convert it to cdn afterwards.thanks
Kyle
there is MINOR MINOR curbage on one rim from the previous owner and the rubber is VERY good..at LEAST 60%
p.s. they are a bit darker than in the pic

Grip72 06-27-2005 09:22 PM

thermal 06-27-2005 09:32 PM

Grip72 06-27-2005 09:33 PM

IALuder 06-27-2005 10:04 PM

what tires are on them? how much tread wear?

Grip72 06-27-2005 10:05 PM

Kumho Ecsta i believe and at least 60ish %

CD5Passion 06-27-2005 10:17 PM

16's hmmmmmm...maybe 500 most

drdingo21 06-27-2005 10:35 PM

I agree. You would be lucky to get $500

Grip72 06-27-2005 10:48 PM

YOU DON'T TELL ME TO FACK...sorry flashback

IALuder 06-27-2005 11:47 PM

Grip72 06-27-2005 11:48 PM

575 OBO

drdingo21 06-28-2005 05:20 AM

They are nice, but they are knock offs and 16s. I think 650 is a had high..

I agree. It really depends on how much you want the money. If you really don't mind hanging on to them too long then I'd say ask $600. There are plenty of uninformed buyers out there... you just have to wait for them to find you. The sad truth is that the majority of people are label whores and most won't even consider buying a wheel without knowing its manufacturer. If you're looking to unload them fast I'd go with about a $300 asking price.

GT40FIED 06-28-2005 11:40 AM

Indeed. They're nice...but not $650 nice. Personally I'm not a fan of the 6 spoke design, but whatever. When I got rid of the wheels that came on the Mustang (some idiot had the balls to throw 14" aftermarket wheels on it), I think I sold them for about $100 with tires.

ebay is a good place to sell over priced shit. ;)

Man, that was my idea. :yes: Really, I sold my GSR swirlies on eBay for $600. :D And I don't feel bad at all.

Grip72 06-29-2005 08:35 PM

hmm..mabye i should try that..i've NEVER even tried selling stuff over ebay..jsut purchasing

i was thinking of trying to sell my car over ebay?!

thermal 06-29-2005 10:35 PM

I wouldnt pay more than $500 for it....

Grip72 06-30-2005 12:21 AM

Hmmm...or not.:D

One problem I'd have with selling on Ebay is shipping. I'm just too damn lazy to package up 4 wheels with tires and haul them over to UPS or Fed Ex. Shipping would be a bit expensive, too.

Grip72 06-30-2005 01:09 AM

yeah no doubt hey
i think once i move to calgary, i'll just sell everythign there...it'll go fast
i sold the eyelids already and people are claiming all my accessories already so i think i'll be parting it out soon enough

MissJDM 06-30-2005 01:17 AM

When I shipped my wheels off, I went to UHAUL to get boxes. I then shipped it in two seperate boxes via UPS. If you have one of those UPS warehouses, I would suggest taking it there rather than place like "The UPS Store." It only cost $70 to ship. :yes:
