4 snowflake 17's for $850
I've got my original set of 17"s that i'm looking to replace. These are stock 2007 snowflake rims with
205/50R17 goodyear eagle GT's mounted. I'd be happy to swap rims if you have a set with no tread left for
example, as i'm just looking for a better tire.
2 brand new on the front, and 2 used (19k miles) and at about 4/32" I think is what the store measured,
which is half worn. The 2 new ones are due to one of the 4 wearing poorly so they gave me a discount on a
replacement & I replaced a pair april 17th 2013.
The 2 new ones are balanced, the 2 used ones are slightly off balance since the store I got them from
couldn't figure out how to use their machine & I gave up after 3 tries of them saying nothing was wrong.
One rim tipped over onto a curb when I was changing them, so the edge has a small dent, all others are
undamaged. These have not seen winters, so there's no corrosion / peeling paint etc... The unclean edges
of the rims (see pics) is the tire assembly lube, not scratches.

$122/tire plus shipping would be $270 (approx per tirerack)
walmart says $8/tire to balance (for the 2 old ones)
Used tires = $60/pc
ebay for 4 snowflake rims with a bit of road rash = 520 after shipping
$175 for new rims w/o TPMS - 4 would be 700
So i'll say 550 for rims + 270 for new tires + 120 for 2 old tires = 940
Asking $850
I'm in rochester NY and can deliver or meet in the surrounding area.

Sorry to be the Debbie Downer...
No way someone will pay that much for OEM Wheels..
For the same price you can get AfterMarket wheels that are Better Looking and Nicer.
I still have my set of SnowFlake Wheels....I probably only can sell them for about $300 w/o tires.
Just a FYI.

Thanks for your opinion. That's why i added up prices of what I found searching for 'parts' on ebay, which added up to over $900.
Surely someone can wait, buy single rims, tires, TPMS and maybe get a lower price, but depending if someone has that time to wait & search, mount the tires etc...
