Default l-tuned price check

I just ordered a set of new 4 17' l-tuned wheels with Michelin XGT Z4 for $1200. Is this pretty good price?
How much do you guys think I can sell 16' milenium edition wheels in good condition.
Anyone riding on those 17' wheels? and how is the quality compared to 16'
These wheels have offset of 35. I hope they flush with the fender much better than oem 16s

There were three wheel and tire combinations available from L-Tuned, and only one of them was 18". If those tires you bought have usable tread on them then they're worth $1200 by themselves. (Not really, but a new set of those tires will set you back something close.) If the wheels are in great condition, then I think you found a bargain.

Those are brand new wheels and tires from Lexus dealer and also covered by Lexus warranty.
The wheels are l-tuned 17X8 (superturismo by oz). I guess I got a bargain. I just wanted something better than oem 16, but didn't want to spend a lot of money on the wheels.

Then that's a GREAT deal. You're getting something nicer than stock, covered by the warranty, for a truly remarkable price. They must be tired of those L-Tuned rims taking up space in the stockroom!

Has somebody been talking to Darrel Diller @ Sewell Lexus!?
Are you speaking of the 17" OZ Superturismos (16 spoke i believe)?? They are SUPER SMOOTH, especially if you got them with the tires balanced from L-tuned. Yours should be even smoother than mine, since i got 'em with Michelin Pilot sports instead of the XGT4s. I'm very happy with them, though 17" will eliminate many BBK options, and the few you can use will require spacers

Yes, I got them from Darrel, and that's the right wheels. I also got them balanced from TRD with XGT4.
I think they will look and handle whole lot better than the oem 16' and still very comfortable. My oem tires, Goodyear Eagle GT4 is very noisy and wet traction is the worst.
I should get them maybe end of next week. You don't have to take those wheels the shop to be mounted on the car, right? I planning to just mount them at home with regular tools that comes with the car.
I'll be getting better rotor and pad when the current ones wear out, but no BBK so it's ok for me.
