Angry Dyaam my stock granny wheels are expensive !!!!

I just had a small thought about trading my stock IS wheels which are in ok condition for some sexy wheels like most CL members have here. So I casually go to my dealers spare parts department to check the price of each wheel. Horror of horror's , each of my granny wheel costs a whopping 714 $ WTH ??

I never expected it to be this expensive , did you guys know that your stock wheel were this expensive ?

Anyways I want to know how much would I get now for each wheels if I sold it to my dealer or another 3rd person ( assuming my wheels have slight curb rash only ) ?

They're no where near what they go for new. Remember, the dealer sells stuff OVERPRICED!

You wont be able to even get 1/4th of a DEALER price. If that were the case, stock wheels are worth more then aftermarket such as Vossens/etc.

I swear to God that was what I was thinking too , but I got the shock of my life when I saw the price on his PC and double checked with him twice.

Is this the price for 1 or all 4 wheels together ?

Yes I know but those are usually non-stock wheels and slightly damaged.

Yes that is so true . But can it be this over priced ? I still can't believe the price and feel not worth trading these wheels , I probably might get peanuts for my wheels and all 4 are in perfect condition. Ignore the wheel in the picture , that's my spare wheel which was slightly damaged.

I was referring to rookieIS's post. MSRP on the wheels are ridiculous so it's not surprising to see them so high. I got my ISPs on sale from Sewell for about 800 for the set

Hmm if that's the case I guess I'll be stuck with these granny wheels for a long long time till I manage to damage it . No way I'm trading these for 1/4th it's price.

500 $ for a set of 4 or just one wheel ?

400 $ per wheel ? Why would you sell it for that cheap ? was it damaged ?

800 $ for a set , so each wheel costs just 200 $ for you , is it Lexus or aftermarket wheels ? I know after markets are way cheaper than Lexus , so your price seems justified.

But the OEM's come stock with the car. You can't put after market unless you sell or trade it off. In my opinion it's not worth trading the OEM's as you won't get even 1/4th its original price.

They are a Lexus OEM replacement wheel. After I sold my stocks, it came down to like $400
