Default Ordered my wheels today...

Well i mentioned a few days back that I had my eye on some Shelby Redline wheels in gunmetal for my car. I went ahead and pulled the trigger and ordered them today. i realyl like the style, but I didn't want to spend the $300 a wheel or so that i saw them going for. A seller on eBay has a few sets of new ones in 18 x 9 front and 18 x 10 rear for onyl $600 per set.

The gun metal color looks pretty dark, i am hoping they look good. If not i'll have them powder coated in black. Now i just need to find a deal on some tires, waiting on crucin concepts to get back to me with a price on some NT05's. Time to start telling me if anyone is interested in my stock 19-inch wheels, tires, and sensors. I should have these things soon.

I had my set of premium wheels forsale. I tried forever to sell the set... I couldn't sell them as a set. However, I listed them 1 at a time and ea. one sold. I had my best luck selling them $275 ea with free shipping. (i get a disc at work using Fedex. So it wasn't a lot out of my pocket) Good luck on the sale, and can't wait to see some pictures!

I bought the 19" Premium Rims with tire and sensors for $1200 (shipping included). Got them off Ebay.

When I sold the 18" rims/tires/sensors, I got only $650. Shipping was about $180 for all four (four separate boxes) via UPS.

Cool, thanks for letting me know what you paid. That works out to a bit more than i thought they would go for. Taht will depend on where they ship to though. No one here has been particuarly interested, then again i woudln;t be too interested until the wheels were ready to ship the same day. I'll just wait till I get the new ones all mounted up and then press the sale.

OP Looks great especially in contrast with your brake caliper paint. I see you put chrome door handle covers on that was one of the first things I did to both my 2010s great minds do think alike lol
