Default Opinions on 19" Ray's Wheels

So, I have an opportunity to get a set of BRAND NEW 19" Rays Wheels w/ Tires and TPMS included. Wheels + tires will have 0 miles on them, perfect condition.

Asking price for them is 1200.00 + trade of my base 18" wheels w/ about 7k on them.

It's a tempting offer and was looking on thoughts and opinions on this. I sort of want to go aftermarket wheels so I am still on the fence about the deal.

If we're talking RAYS wheels i.e. VOLK, etc, those are high quality and very pricey. Are they solid or multi-piece?

Yes, sorry. They are the 19" RAYS wheels available with the sport package.

Sounds a tad high if you're trading your 18" wheels.

Maybe try to talk him down to $1,000 or lower?

I don't think you will get a nicer package for that dollar amount even taking into consideration you will be trading your 18's. I have the sport package and I love those wheels I think for the first time wheels will probably be one of the later mods I do bc I have them maybe thats just me though. But you cant go wrong trying to talk him down a little either though like Waizzz said

These wheels go for between 1200 and 1600 without a trade involved, and the 18's can sell for between 500 and 800. It's a ripoff to pay 1200 on top of trading your 18's.

Not really a great deal if you include your stock 18's/tires/tpms units. The Sports package Rays should fetch around $1,200-1,400 including tires sensors, which means throwing your 18's into the mix will cost you roughly $1,800. I'm lowballing the average selling price of the stock 18's at around $600 (usually $650-850 with tires & sensors). Sell your set separate or wait for another set. It's easy enough to find.

Honestly, who cares about the mileage? You can occasionally watch the classified section and find a pristine set with 10k mi on it for 1200-1600. Why pay more?

And why sell the 18's? Save em up and put winter tires on 'em.

I would def agree to prefer keep my 18's as well...I didnt realize you can find them in good shape for the price range you have seen. I stand corrected he should keep looking then if deals like that are out there

Thanks for the replies, yea I was unsure because I have my eye set on some Forgestars. I have no doubt I could talk them down to 1000.00 + trade as well so the price shouldn't be an issue. Only reason I was tempted was because this set is fresh.

As of now I am leaning on keeping 18's for winter set up and getting Forgestars for summer set up.

They're probably slightly more expensive, since they're more rare. You might get off cheaper by powdercoating your sport rims gunmetal
