selling stock wheels, how much to ask?

I have someone who would like to buy my stock WRX wheels from me, as I recently upgraded (emphasis) to 17" BBS RKs. I am a little unsure how much I should ask from him for the rims. They are in great condition, save for one rim has a tiny rash on the outside edge. They are 19K miles young. any suggestions?

From what I've seen stock rims usually go for between $300 and $400 with RE92's in good shape.

I've also been looking at RK's - what tires do you have on them and how different is the ride quality? (got to think of wife and kids)

Too tell you the truth I think the current market is bad for selling OEM wheels. It's not like the old days where 16X7 RS wheels were 400 a set. WRX wheels will net 300 ... at best. Not trying to rain on your parade but I figured I'd give you a heads up.

Have you considered keeping them for the winter? I know a lot of people that get performance tires for most of the year and just switch to the stock wheel and tires for winter. It'd probably be the best thing to do considering the going price for stocks

The RKs ride very well. The car does have more road feel, which translates to better in my opinion. I have Sumitomo HTR+ on there, and the combonation together is very capable as far as everyday driving (for the wife and kids). The overall ride is not extreme, but offers great feel now (205 -> 225). Should be the first upgrade of any suspension. mucho recomiendo.

My new tires, the Sumitomo HTR+s, are ultra high performance all season. They perform beautifully on dry and wet pavement, as well as apt enough in snow. Consequently, I have no more use for the stock wheels/tires.
