Re: 350z wheel cost
If they were the v1 track wheels, I could see the price, but not a standard set of 18" wheels. With the worn tires maybe 850-900, no tires 500-600 tops...

Re: 350z wheel cost
^ I agree with what he said, though I'll go a little further. I've seen them go from $300 with no tires, to $500 with descent tires, and even seen a set go for $800 that were powder coated/painted the nismo dark grey color and had a brand new set of tires on them.
There are always deals out there, this definitely isn't one of them. For what he has, $600-700 sounds about right. His price is about double what he should be asking. Just one of those situations where he believes what he has is more than what it's worth. Just look around, maybe browse a 350z specific forum or post up a wtb here. I'm sure someone has a set of stock wheels they'd love to sell....

Re: 350z wheel cost
Thanks guys, I saw this earlier on my phone and didn't have the patience to Swype a message out.
Even with the aftermarket powdercoating those are WAY overpriced. I'm thinking the seller had some wheel repair done and is trying to recover the price of the repairs and the powdercoating in the selling price. Even for V1 track wheels I'd say $1250 is a bit pricey (I paid $600 for mine a couple of years ago). Now if they were V2 trackies it'd be worth it!
