Should I sell my OEM 219's and Winter Tires

[94jedi]

Hey all, I'm about ready to purchase some Mich PS4S' and was thinking, why not just get some wheels as well. I'd like to sell my OEM 219's w/ Dunlop winter tires with about 1/2 life left on them. Any ideas what I could reasonably expect to sell them for? obviously closer to winter time. The wheels are in great condition, minimal rash on one wheel only, just to give you an idea of the condition.

Any thoughts?

I paid $600 for a set of Sport Edition A7 wheels with nearly new Blizzaks a couple years ago. I would think these are probably worth around $800.

$800 seems market. Which wheels will you be looking to buy?

Thanks guys, I'll put them up for $800 and try to hold firm there.

As for replacements, not too sure. man I love the OEM ZCP's but they're $$$. I'm thinking Apex EC-7's. Seem like a good compromise between inexpensive and still decent quality. What I'm not sure of is 18" or 19". I'm on OEM ride height at the moment; will 19's look stupid at this height?

19" is an OEM wheel size, why would it look stupid? If you like ZCP wheels look into getting a set of Avante Garde M359. They're only $1,100, but their finish quality is hit or miss. You can get them refinished in any color you like for $4-500 though, so still pretty cheap total cost. I'm choosing between those or a set of Forgestar F14 SDC myself.

That's right...forgot for a moment that 220's are 19". Eh, I'm a little self-conscious about the ride height as is, don't want to make it any worse.

The recent threads about the AG359 finish scares me a bit. Not sure if I'm willing to take that risk.

Like I said, you just have to factor in the cost of getting them refinished. I’d be getting mine in gunmetal anyway so the factory silver finish quality is irrelevant to me.

Also keep in mind that the thread you mention is one example, the vast majority of AG wheels are fine.

There are plenty of other good options too, I just think the ZCP design looks the best and wouldn’t want to compromise on that.

EC7's are awesome. Also look into Titan7

Probably a quick sale at $800.

I bought a set locally for $750 not too long ago. They had PSS on them but not much tread. I personally like the look of the 219m wheels (matches my sparkling graphite). Also 18" tires are way cheaper.

yea thinking about keeping them now and using the remaining money to fund rod bearings so i dont have to worry about it anymore.

I have scoured the Wheels/Tires forum for the last few months.

What I have found:
Rando not wanted manufacturer wheels/tires - $600
OEM 18's with tires - $800-900
OEM 19's with tires - $900-1000
OEM ZCP's 19s with tires - $1000-1250
OEM GTS's with tires - $1250-1500
Volks/HRE/compariable wheels - $2000+

You always have the random person selling a wheel listed above for some way higher than market price and somehow it sells, but those are a good starting price point for wheels in my opinion.

let me know if you will change your mind

Come October/November, you should be able to get $800 for the set without much effort.

If the wheels are truly in above-average shape, you could maybe even hold out for $900.
