Default Help with wheels

Im hoping someone could chime in on how to sell my wheels. I have a set of 17x9.5 sawblades off my 93 z07 corvette. The car only had about 50k miles on the wheels. The wheels have clear coat peeling and some curb rash with old good year tires. The sensors are also still in the wheels. Should I dismount the tires and try to sell the sensors separately? It seems the sensors are worth more than the wheels. Thanks in advance for any advice.

If you know the sensors are "operating" I'd say it's a wise move to consider the removal OR just try the sale for a while "as is" - then there's no danger of the "tire guy" creating an issue for you by busting one. 9.5 X 4 with sensors might just sell as a package.

Thats kind of what Im thinking. I have been away from the corvette market for a while. I may post them on craigslist and see who bites. There are not a ton of c4's around here and Im not sure if there is a market for the wheels. The sensors are becoming quite rare and mine worked when I changed to the ZR1 wheels.
