Well, all I have left to complete my cosmetic transformation of my Camry is to do the wheels.

But i wanted to kinda get a feeling from you guys here who swapped your rims out, what the chances are of me selling my factory SE highway driven wheels ???? i was thinking about waiting until my tires needed to be replaced so i could size them how i wanted, but i also want to make sure they are in perfect condition with no scuffs or scraps like they are now....

I want to see exactely how much i think i should be able to get for them before i sell so i can "justify" the swap to my wife

I was thinking i should be able to get 125 each for them shipped. ebay seems to be selling the tires and wheels for 800-900 shipped, so i thought that 500 shipped for the set seemed fair.....what do you all think ???? do you all think there is even a market out there for them ??

Let me know what you all do with you factory wheels after you upgrade. thanks :clap:

$500 shipped seems fair. Personally, I would keep them as a spare just incase anything happens.

I sold my Hybrid/XLE 16" wheels for $450 picked-up. So $500 shipped for the SE 17" is definitely a buyer-friendly price. I would think you should be able to get $500 pre-shipping with no problem (shipping will run you at least $50-60 within the U.S.)

i never understood why i would need a spare ...... i mean, if something happened to the regular rims i don't have a spare then, so what is the point.

i am not going to drop 2000 bucks or anyhting like that, so i don't really care that much about snow/salt and that stuff.

my main goal is for just alittle something that will dress up my car a tad and give it that classy not too flashy look.



FLOP - I would love to find someone local to pick up from me. thanks for the input

For instance, for some unknown reason your tire blows up on the highway or the tire is punctured beyond repair. It's nice to know you have a full set of wheels at home you can just mount and go on with your business instead of waiting for the damaged tire to get repaired. Stuff happens and it's nice to have a backup.

How many miles on your stock tires?

$500 does seem fair. You have any pics of the wheels. Someone might pick them up right away. I know I would consider them if I really knew I had the money and they looked good enough. Also, it might help to mention whether or not they would fit on a Gen5.

 

[Camread]

tires stays on right?

 

[smilepak]

Hmm 500 is a pretty decent deal. With tires, it is definitely a golden deal!

I'd be interested, too. Although, depending on where in PA you are, I'd maybe want to do a pick up.

 

[Engineer2048]

Do you have any pics? The price is certainly good. Like 02whiteLE, I might be interested in picking them up, depending on where you were.

You can try to post your ad for free on www.craigslist.com it is locally for each city/county that the users select. I sold my LE tires for $400 locally in San Diego through www.craigslist.com It's free. Your rims & tires will also fit all Camry Gen 4 & 5 (not sure Gen 3), Honda Accord, Nissan Altima, Mishubitshi Galant, you want to list them in your add so when people search for any of those cars... your ad will show up. Good luck.

thanks for all the replies guys

as far as craigslist i tried it with car stereo stuff but to no luck .....
i could resort back to there if need be.

as far as the pics go, i don't have any of specificallt each tire, since i only started thinking about a swap.... you can see them here with my headlight retro .... http://www.putfile.com/n8dogg455/images/75061




guys i wasn't thinking of doing 500 shipped with tires.... they only have 7000 miles on them. i almost was thinking about keep them 17" but a gunmetal instead since i am putting 25,000 miles on a year most likely and don't really want to pay out the arse for a larger tire like a 18 or something.... (last time i looked it was a 60 buck differnce a tire)

i don't live far from philly, about and hour north of philly and if i could arrange a local pickup that would be best, and thus i could do a lower price for the buyer as well. (shipping looks like 25 bucks per rim and 45 per rim and tire)

and if someone really needed tires, i guess i could buy the new wheels/tires as a package, but the price would have to be right

Man, I've sold 3 cars using Craigslist! I've sold a 91 Camry, 00 Audi S4, and an 02 Sentra SE-R.

Plus, I bought a $600 new couch off Craigslist and whittled the seller down to $150 for it.

Craigslist is da bomb in Phantoms, yo!

^insurance claim?
