Wheel & Tire value? What am I missing? - Lateral-g Forums

NvrDun71 · #1 10-05-2013, 02:03 PM

Getting a bit frustrated trying to sell my wheels/tires? What am I doing wrong here? Can anyone enlighten me on how to get these things sold without giving them away? I'm taking a $400 loss at the price they are listed at now.. Ad has over 1500 views so it is definitely getting seen, Any input is appreciated.....

Nothing really wrong in my opinion. Just a fact that people want to steel them. Yes you are losing $400, but it isn't really a significant amount for someone to else.

At least that is my .02

Agreed. Not easy to find someone who wants the IDENTICAL set of wheels with specs, finish, etc. That $200 you spent on custom billet caps might not appeal to many others. I dunno.

For $400 more, I would just order brand new exactly how I want them personally.

Hey, you asked.

I agree with Flash, heck see my sale ads and look at what discount it took to sell my items. Most at 50% off, that's just the way it is with used or preowned like new parts.

I'd have to agree ^^^ I just bought a set of 18x10 and 18x8 Billit Speaclties new with BfG KDW2 295's & 245's also new. $1600 for the whole setup.

I get what your saying about losing $400 but just not a great deal it's a good deal but most guys are not going to jump on a good deal until they need them? I bought mine for a great deal I wasn't really ready for my wheels but for a great deal I had to buy them now.

The other thing that may be holding you back is they are 17's?? Most want 18's or 19's today. I wanted to run 18's front and 19's rear but for the deal I got I'll take what I got.

Not trying to bash just trying to help you and you asked!

They are out of style also. If they aren't selling, the price is to high.

They appear to be a stock configuration. Definitely post them on the Nova site.

Have you tryed eBay? Just put a reserve on them that your happy with getting for them??? I know ebay sucks

but lots of guys that may be looking for a setup like these on there.

Same with my experience as I had Foose rims with mounted tires with low mileage. These were in awesome shape and started out at $1500 plus shipping, well when you start checking into shipping the cost up $200-300.

So even though the wheels maybe a good deal ,the added shipping hurts you.

I ended up selling mine for $1000 so I took $500 off my original price just to move them.....and it cost $200 to ship by FedEx...

Like others has commented unless it is a real good deal, most people will just buy new and get free shipping most of the time..

Good luck..

ebay would get you more traffic viewing but honestly they are overpriced regardless of what you paid.i sell lots of stuff and buy lots of stuff on ebay and what i find is that when the price gets to about half retail cost is when people get interested.i look at it as if i was going to pull the triggger on spending almost 2 grand on used parts ,i would spend a little more to get new.
