Default How much are my OEM 18" 5-spoke ultralight's worth?

I'm seriously considering a set of wheels from a fellow Rennlister, but I'm not sure of current market conditions for my OEM wheels. They are the stock 5-spoke (18x8, 18x10) ultralight wheels w/ minor curb rash on one of the rear wheels.

Curious - what might they be worth to a fellow Rennlister?

Thanks in advance for any help w/ this item!

I might be looking for a set. I've seen asking prices from $700 up to $1,500 but I have no idea what they sell for. You might to an e-bay search and see. PM me when you come to a conclusion

P.S. Do not trade them at Wheel Enhancements. You'll be depressed at what they will offer you.

A friend picked up some heavy knock-offs for $1000, which he considered a great price. For the real thing, I would think it should be considerably more than that.

Brand new condition, probably $1500+.

Track condition, $500-$1200.

These aren't available as often as turbo twist style wheels, which are everywhere. And many of the wheels in this style are actually replicas, and are 1-3 pounds heavier per wheel. The OEM version will have the Porsche part numbers stamped on the inside, and the width and offset stamped on either side of the valve stem.

Have yet to see any of them sell for $700. The majority of listings I have seen are 1500-2K for good condition wheels. Sub $1500 will be ones with blemishes, etc, and priced accordingly.

For reference I bought a set for the track with blemishes but nothing major for 1,000 plus shipping (I believe around $150). They were nice enough to consider using them on a daily basis. Rear tires were shot, fronts were still good. It did take me a while to find something for that price but they do come up.

I bought a set from an 02 MY for $1050. They had no curb rash, but had a few scratches. I paid $1100 for 993 hollow spoke. I think $1200+/_ $100 is a reasonable.

I think irksome and Nader are on target. I paid $1100 for flawless oem examples earlier this year (no tires). I've certainly seen them listed much higher, but I doubt they're selling.

Last year I couldn't find a good deal on wheels to save my life. The last 3 months I've been wishing I hadn't bought a set in March, many many good wheels up for sale at damned good prices. So I'm picking up a third set.
