Question Possible new rims...

So I have been thinking that a change in rims on carmen might be in store for something new..... What do you guys think about these...
They are 18x8 and I am looking at nitto tires. but the true question is... would the rims I have on now sell easy enough? I paid 1600 for them and they only have about 1200 miles on them TOTAL! I was thinking about trying to ge 1000 for them? reasonable or no?? let me know opinions on the new rims and what I should do!

Man, you know i love your Carmen... with that said those wheels are too loud IMO.
Wheels seem to be something that you almost always lose money on.
You're lucky to even come close to that, but good luck.
Keep us updated.

Are you selling your old ones with tires. how much tread and what are the tires/condition. If your selling with tires and are almost new you might get that. but for 18s you will probably only see 700 max. But Hey some people might pay 1000

Yes I would be selling them with the tires and they all have roughly 1200 miles on them so the tread is damn good yet. They are in perfect condition, I mean I only put like 400 miles on them a summer lol

^^^ up 1 for the tires.. The tires will probably make or break the deal. Just from my experiences, 18s dont seem to have the resale value, 20+ hold the value more.. at least I think.

I kinda like the new wheels. But the Red part almost looks fake or cheap...idk.. from afar they look good i.e the small pic but on the big pic something just looks off. But the combo will look great on the car.

I dunno man, an item is only worth what somebody will pay for it. It's up to you to find someone to fork over that kind of money for them.

As for the new rims, they scream cheap and cheesy. Kinda look like Gino wheels. As much as you've invested into your car I think you should get some classy looking rims. I'm not saying don't color match, I think that looks sick, but just get some higher quality, nicer looking rims to do it on.
