What do we reckon the value of these. They need a refurb and would come without tyres. They are genuine Porsche, and marked with the part numbers and upside down triangle VP:

8x18 ET50

11x18 ET63

Any thoughts appreciated

:stay:

I have the same wheels. Not that I'm selling them.

I start with 2k?
 
Yes, there was a 8.5 X 18 et 48 ish something. Not sure if that was. Only the RS or standard?
Porsche made other sizes, but not sure what cars these were originally fitted to?
 
Yes fronts should be 8.5j for the GT3.

There's a set on ebay in similar condition with the wider 8.5j front for £2.5k. They've been for sale for quite some time...

I'd say around £1.5k with the narrower 8.0j fronts.

On the 996.2 GT3 (as well as the RS) the fronts are 18x8.5j ET 40 and the rears 18x11j ET 63.

Also available via tequipment in the same style they also offered an 18x8j ET 50 and an 18x11j ET 45 (standard 996 Turbo/4S fitment) as well as the 18x12j ET45 for the post-facelift GT2 (paired with the 8.5j GT3 front). The combination of the 8j front and ET 63 rear is the correct configuration for a narrow bodied Carrera.

I reckon that dealers would probably give you £1200 or so (remember though that they need a margin and will have to add VAT to sell them on), and to someone who wants to put them on their car you might get up to £2k but they are not worth as much as a GT3 set with 8.5j fronts (which of course can also be refinished to suit RS owners).

If I were offloading then I'd go eBay with a £1500 start price and buyer collects as a baseline, but it might also be worth dropping a note to the forum's favourite wheel specialist (Chris at Exel wheels) first to see if he is interested in making you an offer. As a trader it might not be quite as high as a private sale, but it would be hassle free, money in your bank with no effort to list, managing bidders/collection or auction/paypal fees and consequently worth considering.
 
Thanks Colin. Good information and advice there. Bit of leaway for some Oz Alleggerita's, or a bit of saving for some Fuchs!

Many thanks
 
Hi, nope.

I haven't advertised them. I do love them...... But toying with getting some genuine Fuchs.
I've had a good offers from a couple of members though...[/quote]
