Considering selling my 09' Passion Wheels

If I can find the right deal, I really want to get a set of the Lorinser Speedys for my 09' Passion. If I do get them, I'd want to sell my OEM wheels. They are in excellent condition and have about 3K miles on them. How much could I expect to get for them? Any feedback is appreciated.

Sorry, I mean rims and tires. At this time, I think I'll need to keep the pressure sensors. If so, the tires would be remounted, balanced etc. If I purchased new wheels/tires and TPMS, my OEM's would simply be take offs with the sensors included. How much with sensors? How much without sensors? Again, I appreciate any info here.

SmartMMM - did you ever get a reply to your questions? I have been looking for a couple of rear wheel & Tire combos for my 09 Passion. Looking at Ebay and SmartMadness seems they go for about $150 each with shipping extra. Did you find a better price somewhere different? THanks for any info.

Sorry for the delayed response... been busy at work. No, I haven't gotten any other info OEM wheel pricing. If I bought the 17's, I'm pretty sure that I would end up keeping my pressure sensors for the new wheels and would ask $550-$600 for all 4 OEM wheels/tires... of course remounted and balanced. I'm still looking for a set of silver Lorinsers at a better price than what I've found so far.

How much can you get out of your OEM's? Just depends on how much someone will pay. I was lucky and picked up a set of 4 like new takeoffs with about 1K miles on them for only $400 with the TPMS's!

If I were selling them, I would start at $600 and go from there........
