Default How Much $ is Fair - 2018 Grand Sport Wheels

I found a set of (what appear to be) brand new grand sport rims and tires. I like the look for a street setup, but the guy has them up for what I think is absurd amount.

What would you estimate a fair value?

What brand of tires are they? How many miles on them? What year were they made? Are they OEM sizes? What year are the rims?
The GS ran from 2010 to 2013 so these are the first questions that come to my mind. I am sure others will have more.

assuming brand new run flats, you’d pay about $4k from a vendor for that setup. Decide how much less than that you want to pay

The subject says 2018, so I assume they are virtually brand new from a C7. Hopefully they will fit ok.

With that said, with new tires and wheels in flawless condition, I would probably pay $2,000. But I like to get a bargain. If I'm going to pay new price, I would want to buy them new from a vendor.

They appear to be brand new. Run flats, standard equipment.

Yeah, he wants just a hair under 4K. I dont think I could stomach much over 22-2300.

Thanks, Paul

You can probably put together your own set for that price. I'm assuming you're putting these on a C6 widebody so the TPMS sensors from the C7 won't work. You'll have to factor that expense as well. If they are really in like new condition I'd go as high as $2500, otherwise just get your own new set.

I picked up a set of gloss black GS Cups take off wheels and tires, Run Flat Michelin's, with black lugnuts, the correct C6 TPMS, balanced, black valve stems and the correct C6 center caps from a Forum vendor last spring for $3450 delivered.

you can get a set of just the wheels for about $1500 shipped from house of wheels.then find a slightly used set of sport cup 2 here for around $800.

Really? Because if they were truly 2018 GS wheels I would not post in the C6 section. So what does that tell you? Does it say what tire brand? no. Does it say miles on them? no.

Read smarter.

Dude, what the heck. Don’t be that guy.

2018, appears to be brand new. Does the GS have any options with regard to tire? Serious question.

I have a 2010 Z. Would like to run the new GS rims on it if possible. Tires are really meaningless to me for the most part. Anywho, I would say my questions are 90% answered.

Thanks. Paul

Dude, I was not that guy until I was called out and told to read slower.
To answer your question, yes you have options when it comes to brands of tires for the GS. I have owned a Z06 but am now in my ZR1 and my street options are really only 2, Michelin and Continental.

I put together a set of machined cup wheels and Michelin PSS ZP's, with GM TPMS sensors, and it wasn't cheap. Wheels would cost me a couple hundred more today than they did when I bought them. Tire's alone are a little cheaper now that the C7 Grand Sport brought them back, but still upwards of $1,800 plus tax, mounting, and balancing. You can save a few bucks and buy some Chinese knock offs if you'd like.

I bought a set of brand new take offs from a C7 Grand Sport last year, gloss black Cup Wheels with Michelin PS2’s. I paid $3k shipped. He was a forum member and I thought that was more than a fair price.
