They've never been curbed or scratched, and the Bridgestones have a lot of tread left. I use P21S wheel cleaner exclusively. My car has only 7,000 miles on the odometer.

I've noticed a lot of posts from VW owners re: these wheels.

Those who have bought or sold these rims--how much did they fetch? I recall someone getting $1,350 for them.

Default Already trolling over there. I also found this post . . .

below. Somebody at VWVortex said $900-$1,000, which I think is a little low.<ul><li><a href="https://forums.audiworld.com/tt/msgs/298723.phtml">https://forums.audiworld.com/tt/msgs/298723.phtml</a></li></ul>

Default If they are blowtenzas then they are pretty much worthless

and no one really pays for the tires anyway. If you get $1,000-$1,200 you'd be doing really good. Also remember it's pricey to ship wheels and tires - especially cross country. I've sold 3 sets of wheels and tires and shipping was always $125 or more.

Default Since they sell at the dealer new for $600 apiece, I think $900-1000...

...is a little low too. I think $1200 is fair. Then again, the market defines the price.

Default So Dave - are they worth as much as your Fikse's?

Which are around $600 each. Hmm - factory 5 spokes or Fikse's - tough decision

The Fikses are $685 and that's cheap.

I sold mine on Ebay to John S on this forum. I put in a reserve of $750 and ended up getting $1331 for them after a wild, last minute bidding war.

Tires were Michelin Pilot Sports with 1300 miles on them.
