How much is my set up worth?

Hola!

I'm about to switch to 18"x8"s from my stock 17" oem wheels.
What are they worth ballpark?
They have basically brand new Bridgestone potenzas @ 205/45-17.
How much should I ask for them?
I don't want to be greedy, just want to get back a tiny bit of my 18"s price.
Here is a stock photo of which 17"s they are.

Sensors included? I can only relay what I bought for $500, used aftermarket rims, sensors and winter Toyo tires with a lot of life left.

I would assume the sensors, I haven't had any low tire lights flashing, but they also haven't been off the tires since I had them.

I would think that oem are worth more than aftermarket right?
Although that's around what inward hoping to get.
The 18"s will cost about 1100

Lots of people take the sensors out and put them on the new rims, thats why I asked. I have seen asking prices of 1200, but never followed up to see what they went for. Scan the marketplace ads here on NAM.

You have a 2005 R53, which doesn't use sensors. That style rim is R85 S-Lite (also called S-Spoke). They are heavy, so not in great demand.

Here's a used set on eBay for $280 (rims only): http://www.ebay.com/itm/17-OEM-Mini-...-/322212963887
Brand new from a dealer, $230 each: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Mini-Cooper-...-/232061026077

Poop!
That is not great news.
Well, hopefully I can get A few bucks off CL for the set with tires.
I guess we will see
Thank you for your input
