Default What are my wheels worth?
thinking about swapping out my wheels for another set. I currently have these wheels on my car, what are the worth?

I’ve seen a similar set on eBay asking $4k, but I think that’s way too high.

Depends upon how quick you want to sale, but I think those are worth no more than $1,500.

Haven’t found a set I really like, I also have a set of the OEM twin 5 spoke that came on the .2 cars.

But it either way, I’m going to stick to 19s again

A few example asking prices for that style of Turbo rim:

$1,300 - https://rennlist.com/forums/for-sale...-and-tpms.html
$1,800 - https://rennlist.com/forums/parts-ma...-polished.html

Neither reported sold or not...

Less than 1000 US$. There are plenty of those on offer and little demand.

Most OEM Porsche wheels for the 997s are worth between $800-$1,500 depending on specific style and and condition. That's what I've sold some Sport Design and some Carrera Lightweights for.

For anyone looking for a wheel change I gave these Champions available - https://rennlist.com/forums/parts-marketplace/992752-fs-1-of-a-kind-19-custom-polished-and-clear-powdercoated-champion-rs171-wheels-for-nb.html

I can't help OP with price, sorry.
But as to *value* points to mention, if selling, the 997 Turbo wheels were forged whilst other contemporary Porsche wheels are cast.
So they have advantages for strength to weight and impact (crack) resistance.
