How much can I sell my wheels for?

olikoli · 05-03-2012, 02:23 PM

Hey everyone,
I have 19" replica RS4 rims with hankook V12 tires and TPMS all mounted. They are 3 seasons old (summer tires only) and have some cosmetic scuffs on them. I believe that tires should last another season, but wheels are fine. They look phenomenal on our cars, and I get number of compliments daily.
Although the look is there, I think I am getting too old for 19s

I am considering going back to 18" to get a bit softer ride so I am debating selling them, but need an advice on what would be a fair price to ask for them.
What are your thoughts?

WAIT what?? dont do it!! your car looks great i have the same set up and my ride it great! try changing tires to all season or lower PSI?

Based on other prices I have seen I would guess $500

Oli, I think most will want you to quantify the damage on the wheels. Do you have a foto or two?

What tire pressure are you currently running?

You are right, I probably should have taken some photos but I'm still debating what to do. I will have to take some close up photos and post them.
I run 36 psi all around, so I don't think I could go lower with pressure .

Understood.

The wheels do look like they were made for the car...very nice!

You might try something like 34F/32R on the tire pressure.

I don't know what the roads are like where you drive, but the roads in my area are horrid and my wife's 2006 Avant has a very firm ride over rough surfaces, it's almost bordering on harsh with the 17" OE Conti (XL) tire fitted at the dealer. Even with the 16" snow tire pkg, the ride is still very firm.

It would be a major disappointment to go out and get another pkg for your car, 18" for example, and not find any marked improvement.

PM me if $500 interests you.

So I was experimenting with lower tire pressure. You are right, the ride is much more comfortable, but I am concerned that I would damage my rims.
Do you thing it is possible to damage them with lower pressure?
this is the reason I am thinking of going to 18s. In that case maybe I could afford to go with lower pressure...
