what is the going market rate for the factory wheels?

I'm looking to buy a set. Is $1000 a fair price?

 

Just the wheels can be had for half that... if you mean 2k-2k1.

 

I disagree, even with good tires, 600-700 is a good price. Why do yuo want to go with OEM wheels?? They are heavy, ugly, and tough to find tires for (225x50R17 is a rare size). For $1100 you can get a nice looking aftermarket set, will make you stand out in the crowd..

 

If you look hard enough, you can find a set of 2000-2001 17s for around 500. I've seen them go for less on eBay. I almost bought a set but decided on my 5-spokes because of the deal I got.

 

if you get them from the dealer you are definetly getting ripped off they charge anywhere from $1000 to like $1500 for their rims. definetly go with some type of aftermarket rims!

 

Here's one for replicas for $450: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eb...135764&r=0&t=0

Do I think it matters if they're OEM or not? Nope. If you do, I know you can find OEM ones on eBay for a similar deal.

 

Check my post in the Parts For Sale forum. The Antera wheels I have for sale are better than any stock wheel you can get.

I had mine sold (2K SE 17" rims) to a fellow, but he hasn't come through with payment. I'll let them go for $500 plus shipping. Let me know if you want me to send over some pics.
