Which wheels should I keep? (or rather, which will sell easier?)
I've decided I'm only going to keep my RX7 for one more summer and I'd like to free up some cash and sell a set of wheels. One set has tires, the other doesn't. I really don't care which ones I keep - though keeping the set with tires already mounted is easier, I'll definitely get rid of them if I can't get interest in the others..
First set - Axis Supermesh double staggered (discontinued) with tires:
Front
---------
18x8 +40 with 235/40/18 Toyo T1S tires
Rear
---------
19x9.5 +45 (with 3-5mm spacer) with 275/30/19 Toyo T1s tires.
These wheels are in EXCELLENT condition except the front right, which has some minor oxidation that I believe can be wetsanded off, but I haven't tried it, and that same wheel has one small curb mark. The tires have plenty of tread left and I was thinking about asking $1,100 shipped for the set. Here are a few pics:
The next set of wheels are a set that I bought when I thought I was going to keep the car. They are Enkei RPF1's and they've never been mounted to the car, and are brand new in the boxes:
Front
---------
Enkei RPF1 17x9 +45 (15.9lbs each)
Rear
---------
Enkei RPF1 18x10 +38 (19.1lbs each)
These wheels are brand new. I took them out of the box to wax them. They all have 7-10 coats of "Wheel Wax" brand wax... brake dust will just hose off them. I don't have any pics of them on my car (because they've never been mounted or had a tire on them), but here is a pic I googled:
Not exacly the same sizes/offsets but you get the drift. This set of wheels can be had from tirerack.com for ~$1,180 shipped, new (as they are new). If I scour the web, I can probably get them for about $1,025 or so.
I would ask $1000 shipped (as they have never seen a tire, street or anywhere but the box and my living room floor).
Which do you think I would have an easier time selling? I'm stuck on deciding which way to go. If I keep the Enkei's, I'd still have to spend ~$600 in tires. What do you think?
