20 more days, it might drop down to my price range!

If it doesn’t sell in next couple week I may just keep the wheels

Hi! I just got these from First Class Autosports featuring our 19". We also have them in Onyx black satin. And Glossy Titanium (similar to the roof color).

I plan to get the New Aero Razor wheels pictured above and cost is almost $1,000 less than you are asking.

Dropped price to, I really can’t recall my last price so dropping to 4900$ it’s been so quiet here

If you would like to sell these, you've gotta suck up the depreciation and move on. Sell them for $1500-2500 or something and move on with your life. Dropping this by $100 every few weeks like it's a home that's been on the market too long and nobody wants is just depressing, lol

I am not sure of the circumstances of the sell, but you could possibly recoup most of the money in the rims by selling those separate. The market at this point has pointed to $1,500-$2,000 for tires and rims with minimal wear (<5k miles).

If someone likes the coating (gorgeous by the way), you could maybe ask for another $500-750. Otherwise, the opinion most likely would be: "Why pay full price on powder coating of not my choosing when I can pay full price for exactly what I want?!?".

If I had not pulled the trigger on a set already, I would offer no more than $3k including shipping (~$250 loss to you). That puts it right at the top end for $2,750.

The used wheel economy is a funny one.

Sellers want rid of them because they're no longer needed and they take up space. Usually they've spent $$$ on new wheels and want to recoup some of it. Buyers, OTOH, want a particular spec / finish / tire which rarely matches exactly what the seller is selling. Plus they feel they're buying something used so the price should reflect that. And shipping is expensive, so unless the sale is local there's considerable added cost for either buyer or seller.

Case in point: My 968 came with 18" Carrera III wheels off of a 997, with brand new tires. I went back to the correct 17" Cup 1 setup (replicas, incidentally, albeit good ones from Mille Miglia. Snagged them for $50 for the set of four - well worth the eight hour round trip to pick them up from a seller who didn't want to ship. But I digress). If you believe opinions on the forums, my unwanted 18s were "worth" at least $2k, if not 3. But there in my garage they sat, taking up space, until a nice guy drove down from Jersey and picked them up for $750 cash. Which I was delighted with, since they didn't really owe me anything.

YMMV, of course. But as Borski says if you really want to sell these you need to get real. Your last asking price was $5k, btw, on 7/26.

I really like the wheels. I’m going to keep waiting. At the current pace of the price dropping, I imagine that they will fall into my range in about two years.

4850$ price drop

 

[DeaneG]

I just saw a set of 20's go for $2K. Some asking $3K have not sold.

This may be my favorite thread of all time.

 

[Dog poop]

Can I get $5000 , $5k

It’s been nearly a month and only dropped $100… shouldn’t it be a $400 drop to $4,600?

 

[blueice89]

[nototrader]

[Pwmac]

Since people aren’t making serious offers I decided to give you a glimpse of your future or mine.
