VENT (my wheels)
the old ones :P
OK so one guy had a point on the $1300 (well I started high) so I've now said $1100+ shipping. But since putting them on the Vortex board I've had.....
<b>"one guy tell me I was tripping for that price, might as well buy new"</b> HELLO? new OEM wheels without ties would cost $2600 and even the 5 spoke replicas / refurbs are $1000 a set.
<b>"one guy offer me $800 shipped"</b> yeah nice try (points awarded for asking)
"then some guy local to me who has scuffed up TT wheels wants to swap his scuffed ones for my mint ones + some cash - errrr thanks but no thanks
Ebay here I come LOL
OK vent over, needed that, back to my contract

Errrr....Don't say I didn't warn you!........>>
Be patient, hold firm. Someone reasonable will wander along. I had a guy post to my ad that my wheels were a bargain after seeing the pics. Said others have paid as much as $1500 on Vortex.....FWIW

I came very close to buying the same wheels you did...
One of the main reasons I didn't was because I didn't want to mess with selling the old ones. Plus, I decided that I really kind of like my 5 spokes alloys, and I like that rim saver that protects the face from scuffs under many circumstances.
Having said that, your new rims do look very nice!

Remember most Vortexers are in their 20's and have limited funding - not like
alot of people here who drop $5k without blinking. Personally, I'd pay no more than $1000 plus shipping for those wheels, unless the tires were brand new. I sold my 6 spokers for $500 with blowtenza with 5k miles on em. Sure a couple had curb rash - but I was realistic on my pricing.
