Default Is this a good deal for stock 18's?

$300 for stock 18's with no curbs, just minor blemishes. Rim's only, no tires.

Please let me know if its worth picking up. thanks in advance.

Not the wheels for sale but the same style for visual reference..

That's $75 per wheel if my math skills are correct. Sounds like a pretty good deal to me.

Agree, I just need someone else's opinion before buying something I don't necessarily need

Thanks!

Stock wheels are one of those things that can be dirt cheap because people upgrade their wheels and don't want a second set, or they can be expensive because they are OEM and expensive to buy from the dealer.

If $300 is what you want to pay and they are in good shape, then go for it.

That is what I sold my OEM wheels for and they were in much worse shape.

I would say $300 is the normal going rate for our stock rims

Thanks for the replies.

I decided to pass on the deal. I realized I would have to also buy a set of TPMS's for these since these would be used as a second set and TPMS's are pretty expensive.

You could try out a set of cheap Chinese ones? I believe as long as they are 315MHz they should work (but don't quote me on that). But then if they don't work it would suck because they are inside the wheel. I think I have seen sets for like $70 on aliexpress.

I bought a similar set with Dunlop Sport Maxx tires on them for $300 not long ago.
