Wheel & Tire value? What am I missing?

Why would someone buy yours if they can get the same thing nib from the supplier . Poeple usually want either a great deal or a dealer to stand behind them. It's not their problem that you are losing $400

I appreciate the feedback fellas, hearing some opinions puts a few things into perspective. My thought process all along was that saving $4-500 on a new set of wheels, over buying new was actually a pretty good savings...... Apparently most don't have the same mindset. In addition to that the flat caps and powder coating actually address two shortcomings of these wheels....... 1. cutting down on maintenance and allowing for ease of care with no polishing or risk of staining on bare cast centers........2. Getting rid of the somewhat cheap looking chrome plastic cap Vintage supplies. The fact that they are bolt on ready actually saves a buyer time and money as well, but that fact alone must not be enough to add any real value to anyone interested.

Sounds like a price drop is in order........

They can't get the same thing NIB from the supplier, and I never mentioned it was anyone's problem I was losing money. Was just curious as to why more didn't see the $400 savings as being significant enough to purchase, but that was addressed in the above responses.
