What Are My 18" Rims Worth?

[SYDERIS250]

So I bought a set of 16"s with great tyres from Jake and fitted them this morning.

Wife is happy. Ride is smoother (If not as cool looking.....)

I am considering whether to store the 18"s for if we ever sell the car or just sell them and be done with it?

Tyres are Dunlop Sports Max (225 front, 255 rear) with about 1-2mm above tread wear indicator.

Out of interest, what would the rims be worth 2nd hand?

See my post further down for images of the wheels and tyres

Those are the OEM sport wheels

Worth more than 1K easily

close to 2K if your tyres are good and rims have no marks on em (iv seen them go for)

but in the end it all depends on the market

if i were u i would keep them

they are rare wheels

they are rare wheels

I wouldn't call them rare ilv1004s.

No offense as I know you have the same wheels, they look great, however they were standard on every Sport IS250 sold for close to 4 years. I've seen them on different cars too, even Hilux's.

I do agree with you though ilv1004s, best just to keep them.

Sent off my wife driving on the 16's.

She likes them.

Hmmm. To keep and take up garage space, or sell?

my "rare" is based on the amount of Pres and Sports lux compared to the sports

just bcuz you see them on another car doesnt make them common

in australia they are rare compared to all the other is250 wheels in those year of manufacture

when i had my presteige i hunted for those wheels for 2 years and still couldnt find a set. now i have them i will never let them go

I would be happy to buy them for the right price.

Recent set on ebay went for $600 (just the rims)

Let me know

[SYDERIS250]

... and I would only sell them for the right price.

Previous owner bought the rims new for $4k from the stealer.

If I spent about $300 on the rims I could get them back to new condition in which case they could "theoretically" be worth $2k.

I'm figuring that somewhere above $1,500 and I would consider parting with them.

I don't need to sell them, and could happily store them in the back of the garage until the lease is paid out in 4 years.

If someone thinks they are worth more than $1,500 then I'm happy to talk.

Hi - as they need some repair and tyres don't have much left, would you take $1000 for them?

Still wondering if to keep them or sell them.
