Ok, so my friend just bought some work emotion's for his type r and he's going to sell me the his stock type r wheels for $350 with brand new khumo tires. how much do they usually sell for? if i dont like them on my car id probably just sell them and was wondering what the going rate for them was. thanks

 

I've seen them sell for $250-$700 depending on condition.

 

If the wheels are in good condition that's a great deal. Most of the time ITR wheels go for around $400 without tires.

yeah, they are in very good condition. He is very meticulous about everything on that damn car haha. I just figured I would get them and if I decide I dont like them I could maybe sell them pretty easily. So what do you guy's think, get them? The tires only have 500 miles on them. No curb rash or anything

 

Your friend is giving you a bargain. Typical prices on gunmetal Type R wheels with no tires are $300-400 if they're pretty beat up, $450-525 if they're in pretty good condition, and $550-600 if they are absolutely perfect. I haven't seen the CW Type R wheels sell for the latter two price ranges but that might be because most of the ones that go up for sale are pretty beat up.

 

Ok, i guess im going to go ahead and get them. if nothing else just for the tires and maybe track wheels. He also just got some buddy club racing seats if anyone is interested in his stock type r seats let me know. I think he wants $350 for them.

 

Tires don't add that much to the value of the wheels, unless they're tires that people are likely to want to buy anyway. With the ITR, that means the Bridgestone RE010 or the Falken Azenis RT-215 or RT-615. And maybe the RA-1 if the wheels are really beat up, and someone is getting them for track use. With any other tires, you're likely to get more by selling the tires separately from the wheels.

I just meant for my use since the tires are good. I figure if nothing else I could just drive around on those for a bit instead of buying tires for my other wheels. If nothing else I figured I might be able to sell them and make some profit or at least break even.

 

ill trade you, and you can sell mine

V710's????

 

712's

They're a good daily driver tire that was much more quiet than my Azenis for the 2000 miles I put on them before swapping on my Kosei's.

The 712 is Kumho's old "budget performance tire", the one that the Yokohama ES100 beat in all 23 out of 23 characteristics tested by the Tire Rack. 712

OTOH, if you get a good deal on them... heck, any tire is worth it if you get a good enough deal on it!

Heck, drive around on those tires until you wear them out, and THEN sell the wheels!

Thanks, Ken. Always uplifting

I got the set cheap and they did their job. I have no complaints about them. I tracked and Auto X'ed my Azenis.

They're better in the rain than RE-010's. Some folks need street tires, and 712's make very good street tires.

This is a good price considering they are around $350 each new from Acura.

I disagree, STRONGLY. The RE010 is great in the rain, when it has plenty of tread depth. When it's worn, it's not as good in the rain. Just like any other tire.

Of course, the RE010 offers the crisp handling that you will never feel from the 712, or even from the ES100.

However, everything the 712 does, the ES100 (as well as the Kumho Ecsta SPT) does better, for about the same price.

 

my kumho mx's are doing great for me so far

very sticky for a street tire

Ken, I simply stated that my daily driven wheels had a set of Kumho's on them, that's all. Let's not get into a 15 page tire discussion for nothing. They are **** tires that you get a good 25k-30k out of that I got for a few bucks.

Enough with your analogies and graphs and ******* links to threads from the dawn of the internet and news papers. I had them on my car I liked them. Period.

Christ, sorry to ramble, just a bit agravated.

Seems like all these "wheel threads" turn into philosophical debates about tires and their ratings

Albeit it is good information, just not necessary in this thread since it deviates from the users initialy posed question.

$350 seems to be a good price that your friend is offering you.
