Default whats a decent price for oem rims?

my tires now are pretty much at the wear bar so ive been doing some searching for new tires and theyll be right around 700. i really want new tires and some 35s but dont have the money and i really dont want these daisy rims anymore. i found a chrome set from an 08 which is the new 5 spoke style with brand new tires (under 100 miles) for 1100. i looked and those tires alone would be 600 plus mount and balance and i figured i could sell my rims for 500 so it almost balances out. does that sound like a fair price or is too much?

I sold my 20'' OEM with pretty new tires (only a few thousand on them) for $500. Only one had a bit of curb rash from my ex wife and her driving. But when I needed new tires they were also about 700 locally. I ended up buying a new set off ebay for 400 shipped and another 100 to mount and balance. So that was still more cheap than getting them locally.

My 22'' tires are real good and Im going to be selling them soon. Im in the market for some 35+ also and they are about 32''.

I had a set of the daisy style rims with pretty bald tires on my 04 that I sold for $900. But that was back in October, I think the prices have gone down since then.

i got rid of my mint stock 17's with NEW goodyear wranglers including the unused spare for $400. I definently could have gotten quite a bit more, but got tired of holding on to them waiting for a sale so i let em go for way cheap.

absolutely. i'd even list it at 600 and be willing to come down. buyers expect the seller to come down. they dont feel like they got a good deal if they cant talk you down.

What ever you do, don't buy stock 20's from an '08 with stock tires. That means you'll get the stock Wrangler HP ball sucking, terd licking, hydroplaning tires. That's the last tire you want to shell out money for. i had the dealer remove them before i left the lot. i knew about them before i signed the paperwork. The dealer actually paid for and mounted the Coopers I've got on right now as part of the deal. It didn't cost me a penny extra. I worked that part after the numbers were squared away....lol

If i were to sell my rims. They are the Powder coated 5 spoke. Not the clad crap. with 275/60/20 Coopers LTZ's. I would try to get $1300 for them. Those tires are awesome and cost $800 after mount balance.
