Default Wheel trade?

Hey I just bought a very nice set of fikse 17 inch wheels with 245 and 275 hoosier slicks for only a grand. Now I am short on cash. I need to keep a set of alternate daily driver wheels/ winter wheels but I have the opportunity to trade my factory 16 " forged flat dish wheels for a set of 15 " phone dials. The guy said he just had them refinished and painted black with new falkens mounted. My flat dishes pretty much look new and they have sumitomo summer tires with about 90 % tread left.

Oops forgot my question. How much cash should I ask to receive in this trade, I can't find any wheel guides.

what car? the 15s might not fit...

I would ask him for trade + $500 at least...and see what he says...

the sewer lids aren't the prettiest but they are more valuable than a $300 set of PDs.... he probably spent more for the tires than the rims are worth!

I talked to the guy it turns out he hasn't mounted the tires or had the wheels refinished yet. Not really sure why he said he had already or why he thought i would take that trade straight up lol.

If anyone is interested in these wheels make me an offer. They have sumitomo hrt 50s mounted with 85% tread. Just looking to get something fair.

What wheels are you talking about? the 16"s you were going to trade or the 15"s that were the subject of the trade? very confusing

Clean up your first post to say what you are actually trying to achieve

I'll take the FIKSE's from you
