Default Value for GT3 RS wheels?

Anyone know what a decent price for a set of new condition GT3 RS wheels painted black with near new PZero corsas should go for? I may have a set for sale in the near future.

I bought a set for a C4S about 2 years ago for $4k without tires. You should sell them to the guy who bought the silver / orange RS.

Where are you located? They would be great for a 997 turbo.

they would be great for alot of RS car owners that want black instead of silver, orange and red.

are they factory black or painted black afterwards?

for the right price i would grab em' now just incase i buy a RS with orange wheels. this summer....

They are the original wheels/tires my car came with from the factory painted black as ordered. I have not decided to sell them quite yet. I am debating on getting a new C4 for everyday vs a CLK63 BS. If I go with the C4, I'll keep them. If not, I'll likely sell. I am in northern Virginia.

I am just about to mount new RS98 Champion wheels on my RS (need to wait another 2 weeks to let the paint fully cure), did you feel any difference in the ride, acceleration?

The weight differences are substantial between the RS98s and stock wheels. You will see when you mount them how much heavier the stock wheels are. On the street I did not notice any difference. I have only tracked the car with the RS98s, so I can't compare them. I'd figure the track is likely the only place you'd notice the difference anyway.

good to hear.

it is only the wheels you were considering ditching......

A new carrera 4S would be nice with RS wheels.....and since you got a set collecting dust i think it would be great to see them on your next potential DD......
