FS: Brand new OEM 17" Crown Spoke wheels and tires

I just took delivery of my '07 MCS. I took off the OEM 17" silver crown spoke wheels with the OEM Dunlop SP Sport DSST (runflats) in 205/45-17.

The wheels are worth $600 for the set of 4. The tires are worth about $240 each at Tirerack. So that is a value of $1560. I am looking to get $1100 for the wheels/tires combo.

They have no miles on them, so are equivalent to "brand new" since I have immediately put on my replacement wheels/tires.

Note that these will not come with the active Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) sensors as I am swapping them over to the aftermarket wheels.

Any interest should be directed to me here via PM, or call me at (408) 244-0985. Local buyer will get preference. -Bill

You have IM. I thought this was a different post, sorry. I just read your OP and noticed that you're probably the guy who responded to my mail regarding your craigslist ad. Please disregard my IM, thanks.

Got the TPMS sensor swapover done today, so the wheels are ready for sale. I will take the best offer from here or Craigslist, before I let them go to Ebay auction. Interested parties can leave me a PM here.

The wheels are still perfect 10/10 condition and the tires have no miles on them, so the only change is the TPMS changeover and rebalancing.

Taking any serious offers below my asking price, so send me a PM if you are interested. I'd rather sell as a whole set than split up. -Bill

Auction ends 12/17

Ebay auction ends in 2 days. Somebody will get a good deal on these very nice wheels and tires! Just search for "crown spoke".

Respectfully,
(1) $750 + $200 shipping still is a little pricey.
(2) your auction - while currently still at the starting $750 asking price - has a reserve set at higher than $750. As an eBay'er myself, I understand the purpose of reserves, but I think people tend to stay away from them.

Best of luck selling them though! I haven't ordered mine yet, so, I'm still interested - lemme know?

Only 24 hours left in the auction. Note that these wheels are perfect and do not have any marks, scratches, curb rash, or miles on them. That is why they are going to be a great deal for somebody who really needs them!

Compared to ordering new, there is more than 50% savings to be had. I have posted all the pricing research here in this thread. For the Ebay auction I have tried to limit to only the serious buyer participation on purpose. The shipping cost is real, and is based on weight (approx. 50 lbs per wheel/tire combination). Although a local buyer can arrange pickup.
