Default Can this be right?

So to get an idea what my wheels are worth I called the dealership to see how much it would cost to replace one. They couldn't find the 20" Black Chrome Clad wheels (see Night Runner Package) in the system so they used my VIN to look up the stock number. He finally found it and the price for one wheel was $773.00. Can that be right for a OEM aluminium wheel that has a plastic cap on it? If so it makes the $700.00 for the set I am asking one hell of a deal. I am thinking of increasing the asking price.

They are only worth what someone is willing to pay for them.


If you price them for more then what someone could pay for a new after market set you may not sell them.

I understand that but that is quite a chunk of change for a stock wheel.

anything from dodge is over priced, they can charge that because their the only ones who carry them. I've never heard of a night runner before it sounds pretty crazy can you post some pics?

To put it in perspective, the dealership charges $18 for a $2 spark plug...

Yeah, stock wheels, although expensive to replace, aren't worth much aftermarket. For that money, someone could cover half the cost of some nice aftermarket ones. It sucks, but its the truth.

If you dont have any bites on that you may jsut have to lower the price. I sold the wheels off my old dodge, with about 35miles on them, for like 350bucks. All i could get for em.

Those look so tight, but I wouldn't spend more than 1,000 for them with the tires.
