Fair Asking Price BLK Web Spokes?

Like many of you I'm about to order a MCS and with nothing else to do in the mean time I've been planning modifications when it arrives.

I want to sell my 17" black web spokes with approx. 500 miles on the run flats and get some lighter 16" with NON RF.

What do you think is a fair asking price for this setup including the TPMS? I did some research and saw a set go for $1,300.00 but that seemed a bit steep.

Thanks for any suggestions.

The 2010 have a more expensive TPMS sensor in them so you might want to keep your sensors if your going to swap rims.

good point, do they fit most rims? I was looking at the Tenzo DC6.

How much extra would I pay for the TPMS 2010. I'd rather have them mounted so when I receive the wheels I can just put them on my car.

I think about $11-1200 is a fair price plus shipping. That's just me though. You can always list higher and offer OBO.

If you include the TPMS sensors, I bet you get a quick sale at $1,000 firm.

"whatever the market is willing to bear"

$1200 is about right. I'll confirm that $1000 w/tmps will sell very quickly.

GLWS. Black Webs seem to be rare. For whatever reason people are hot on the blackout look these days so I'm willing to bet that you'll sell them pretty easily.

Geez, you weren't kidding about the pressure sensors. I just priced out some wheels and the TPMS were 110 a piece.

It's just not worth it to sell the TPMS W/ the wheels, that's a cost that's pretty hard to get back.

I think with tpms you could get $1200 fairly easily, since they're black. Black is more rare and typically worth a bit more if new.

I think I'm probably going to sell them w/ out TPMS. The original though was "buy them online so they're ready to go out of the box". However, given the price of new ones this would be quite costly.

I'm guessing this will result is a couple hundred dollar reduction.

I sold my stocks with tpms just because i didn't want the hassle of paying the tire place to take them out and put them into my new wheels. Sold much faster too.

I don't think the sensors from a 2010 will work with any other years. If you swap the sensors you might want to get new valve stems.
Keep the sensors and sell the rims without them.
