Default HRE Wheels and Tires

Am I asking too much for these wheels and tires? Some input would be greatly appreciated
I want to move them quick but I don't want to just give them away either. Let me know what you think a fair price would be. Thanks!

I don't think they are too much, it is just not a lot of people have 3K laying around. It may take some time.

I have a set of Z06 wheels and tires I can put on plus I want to take the money and put it in to a new forged motor I love the looks of them but I'm leaning towards more power than looks right now.

$3k is a very reasonable price, but honestly, it's hard to move stock size custom wheels.

The hardcore race crowd may swear by 17 and 18" tires for racing, but they're not the ones buying high dollar wheels.

The ones buying bling, typically want bigger diameter wheels.

Just my $.02. You'll find a buyer for tham at that price I have no doubt, but they probably won't go instantly like they would if they were 19/20 at that price..

I think they are worth 2300-2500 I paid just a little more than 3k for 19/20 547's

I think $2,300 is way too low...the tires cost almost $1,500 so $800 for a set of $3,600 rims seems a little on the cheap side

Thanks for all of your input guys

Thanks for your input and I'm in no hurry to sell. I just don't want to spend an hour every day answering the PM's and emails but I guess that's probably what will happen. thanks

Seems to be lots of interest now and I was PM'd that the weekend is when a lot of people check out the forums so we'll wait and see.

There are a couple people trying to get the cash to buy them, but I don't have much faith in those. I figure the people that are going to buy these have the cash in hand and won't think twice about spending it.

Best of luck with your sale. I'd hold out for what you think they are worth. Someone who knows these wheels will buy them for your asking price. It seems fair to me what you are asking. Just get used to the tire kickers. They are every where.
