Default Help me with wheel values.

Some of you may have read that I have my CE for sale and will replace it with a C5 Z06.

I have 2 sets of wheels/tires for my CE, so I will likely end up with one set left after getting rid of it - unless buyer wants both. In the event I end up with a set left, what do you think each would be worth? I'll sell the remaining set since they won't fit a C5.

Set 1: 6 Original 17X9 A-molds in good condition. Four have a set of Firestone SZ50s with half+ of their life left. The other 2 have drad radials with at least half of the life left. I could sell these, technically, as a set of 4, and sell the DR set separately too. Looking for ideas on what each set is worth.


Set 2: 4 - 17x9 black Z06 wheels from House of Wheels. These are in like new condition and have Kuhmo Exsta tires - no more than 600 miles on this set.

I know I am going to get ideas on price all over the place, but just curious where you would start - if you were selling these.

I've been offered that much for trade-in getting to keep a set of wheels and one of my tops.

But, believe me, I love your attitude! You remind me of me as a buyer. Can't get a deal of you don't ask.

It might help you sell the car a little faster if you offer the prospective buyer his choice of the wheels.
Then, he/she will make the decision for you...

That's the plan. Just trying to get a feel for which set might be worth more should I decide to trade the car and I have a choice which set goes with it.

I'd think you would be best to sell with the new ones on it as they are "new" and unique. There are usually several people looking for good track rims and the 9.5 is the size to get in either 2 or 4 rims, and the factory rims are lighter than the repos. I'd just sell the car and the extra rims seperate, you will net more $ in the end.
