Default What do 18 inch Turbo aftermarket wheels cost?

I want to put my 18 inch Turbo Aftermarket wheels on Ebay after I sell my 968, but don't know how to price them. Does anybody know what 18 inch turbo aftermarket wheels and tire are worth? They are made in Germany and stamped "made in Germany" with several strings of numbers and makers marks on the backsides, but no discernable vendor. I was told they are made by "RT" Tires are almost new, they are 265/35 and 225/40 ZR18. They seem heavy, I don't think they are the lightweights, and don't look like the newest style OEM Porsche Turbo wheels I have seen on new Porsches at the dealers.

Anotehr thing, these 968 are bargains for Porsche. On Ebay, early 1980's 911 are going for considerably more than 968's, and the 968 is a more modern design in my opinion.

It really depends on condition, fitment (i.e. offset or ET), and if you plan on raping someone for shipping. Shipping should be no more than $150 for all four wheels & tires to any of the 48 states. Since they are aftermarket and most likely Gravity Cast (heavy) they'll go for considerably less than OE wheels would.

They are late offset, will fit a bunch of different cars. Shipping should actually be no more than about 100 dollars with FEDEX ground (might be as high as 120 depending on how you package them). I would think that somewhere in the 800-1000 dollar range would be appropriate depending on condition

Matt H.,

Thanks for not being bashful and taking a stab at price, that really helps save everyones time (me and potential buyers).

How do you knowthey are "late offset" and what cars would this fit?

BTW, my Porsche 968 is up to $7000 on Ebay now, Whooohoo!
