Whats a fair price for my wheels? I'm looking into some Fikse's later on in the summer (Fikse man, you have a PM!). So naturally I will be selling mine. They are 17x9.5 and 17x11 Boyd Coddington Rebels, they are in PERFECT condition, no rash, scratches, anything. The 17x9.5's are $468/ea. new, and the 17x11's are $475/ea. new. so just under $2k for all four. They have about 10k on them and like I said are perfect. I also may include my 275/40/17 and 315/35/17 BFGoodrich G-Force T/A KD's, the fronts have about 90% on them, rears about 85%. What do you think is a good price just for the wheels and then wheels and tires? Thanks guys!
EDIT: Here is what they look like!

I just sold my 18" JYD's a couple months ago, they were on the car for 8 months, w/ less than 3k miles on them... They were MINT. I paid $2300 for the rims and tires, ended up selling them for $1650 plus shipping to some dude out in Ohio.
That might help ya some w/ a ballpark of what to expect. I originally started at $1800 which was still a deal. Who knows, your Rebels would probably sell faster and possibly bring in more $$$ than my JYD's did. Just a better looking wheel- imo.
Just be ready for all the lowballers, and people trying to offer trades.
Good luck!

Edit: FYI, a quick internet search shows the 17x9.5s can be had for $397.75 and the 17x11s can be had for $403.75. Total for a set of four NEW wheels= $1603

I don't see how you can say list price is outrageously high but its really whatever floats your boat. Also if people are picking up REPLICA wheels for say $1000 for all four $1400 is a low ball. You can't base a resale price off of a discounted price that you found somewhere. If that was the case a car bought for $25k but listed at $30 depreciation would only be calculated by the discounted price, not how it works. But I do see your point and with that in mind then I'd take $1600 + shipping, saves the 10 week waiting period and the wheels are PERFECT.
Also, like I said if I don't get what is fair on them I'll just keep em, I dont think they look that bad!DISCLAIMER: Please don't read that thinking I'm being hostile, not the intention.

I meant outrageously high in relation to actual selling price. Nobody pays retail for ANYTHING, lol.
Personally, I would keep them. I like your current wheels over either of the Fikse ones you are considering. I will probably get bashed for this, but I just don't "get" the Fikse wheels hype, they don't look all that great to me.
Either way, good luck, Shawn
