View Full Version : Price Point Data (sold the basketweaves)
Reed Hunt 04-09-2004, 04:17 PM All,
Just today sold the OEM BWs - 16s with Michelin MXV4 Energy Plus tires. Tires had about 20K miles remaining, and wheels were in good to VG condition. One wheel had a nick, two had minor curb rash, and one had some tar crap on it.
Back of the wheels had a fair amount of accumulated brake dust, most of which I left on (though made the buyer aware of...).
And, drum roll please, I received my asking price of $475.
All in all, a fair deal for both parties, IMHO.
Jack, sold them locally, through the Zundfolge. Purchaser is putting them on his E34 540i. I never did figure out exactly what the setup will fit, but I know that it won't fit the E28 (tires are too tall).

wanna sell mine??
Damn, Dude, that's awesome!! Good job!
Reed Hunt 04-09-2004, 04:36 PM I was happy with the sale.
I thought the guy might push back $25-$50 on the price, but he didn't.
Do you have a local BMW club/publication? We do, and it's a very active one. Members get free classified advertising, and I have sold several items that way...
Best part is, no shipping hassles...
BTW, I did ship some 16s (tires and wheels off my E28) to Kansas in 2002. Cost a bit over $100 from Seattle.
FlyingHigh 04-09-2004, 06:25 PM Great info, Reed - I will call them up and list mine as well. Thanks!

Jack,
I can save you a bit of work, perhaps.
I had 5 or so calls. Two were from E28ers and the others I think were E24s but not certain because I was already pretty far along with my buyer.
Touch base with me over the weekend, and I can give you 2 or 3 names and numbers.
Assuming your take-offs are in decent shape, something could pop...
FlyingHigh 04-09-2004, 07:49 PM Reed - sent you an email to your hotmail account.
Wiseguy ON 04-09-2004, 09:55 PM I'd say you got a good price.
I can usually buy a used set of nice 235-60-16 Michelins, CH95s, etc for about $130-160 or so installed.. and I can usually find the rims for $30ish a set... so that's a fair price I'd say.
Roy, keep your stock rims...
John Spatola 04-09-2004, 10:13 PM Reed, Thanks for the update. It is good to hear what items sell for. It didn't take you very long to sell after your recent new tire/wheel combo acquisition. Best.

OK.
Of course I left the names (most of them) at work, but I should be able to get you at least one before Monday
ChicagoE38 04-10-2004, 04:56 AM Good price. Sold a set that were pretty clean to an E34 635csi for $300 with tires.
They all came with TRX wheels/tires that had to be replaced.
He sent me a photo and it looked pretty good with them on.
Reed, that's a great price. I decided to keep mine and use them for winter next season.
Trnsprtr 04-10-2004, 09:16 AM I'd say that's a great price - when you're the seller. I bought a set before the start of last winter for 300. Not a scratch on any of the wheels and the tires had about 90% tread.
rango44 04-10-2004, 11:30 AM I aslo sold my basket wheels and got $355 for the wheels alone, no tires.

Bear,
I thought about keeping them for the winter. However, we have an SUV, our winters usually aren't too bad, and the wife didn't want another set of wheels/tires cluttering up the garage...
Trnsprtr,
You got a hell of a deal, it sound like...
