I don't think you will see a lot of people paying big prices for anything used right now.
Leading evidence: 'Use right now' (no explicit attributable resolution; this is a reported action or suggestion).

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

I am selling my OEM 5-spoke ultralight wheels from my '02 C4. They are in great shape and have been driven for ~25k mi. Minor curb rash that has been touched up. Front: 18x8, Rear: 18x10.
$1,350 plus shipping from CO for a fellow Rennlister before they go to eBay.
I think some guys like them for the track because they are the lightest OEM wheels. I like them but they are really common, which is what makes them less desirable among 996 owners. I think they fix Boxters and 993's. Put them on the for sale section here and 6speed.
I seem to recall reading a thread some time ago that was started by a guy looking to sell his 5 spokes. Another Rennlister commented that the 993, Boxster, and 928 guys are often interested.
Are you sure about that?
Skiracer,
Do you know the offsets of your wheels? If so, you should post. If the narrow body offsets work on your car (as we discussed), I don't understand why your offsets won't be fine on a narrow body. Maybe I'm thinking too simply.
I thought so. Maybe I lost track of which 996 variants are narrow bodies and which are wide bodies, but I thought the C2 cabs were all narrow body cars.
Money is getting really tight. I don't think you will see a lot of people paying big prices for anything used right now. Everyone will start cutting out expenditures like a new set of wheels, and if they do they will be looking for deals. 1350 is on the high side for used wheels. All this is turning quickly. 993s are selling cheap all of a sudden. I think we may be in for some hard times. We;ve been on a roll for a long time now. Just my .02
These are NB fitments, and I was just saying these are the most common wheel for the NB 996, at least 02+. I'm surely not knocking them, I like them. I will replace mine eventually, but it will likely be the last mod done to my car.
ski, I picked up the newer version of these earlier this year. The set I purchased had no damage at all and I paid $1100. So $1350 for a set with some curb rash is a bit higher than I think most are willing to do (especially at this time as someone else mentioned).
I almost sold my wheels (same as OP) to get some sport classics, but then I realized that what I had were lighter, so I backed out. The guy who wanted to buy was a rennlister, and had a "wtb" post somewhere - do a search, maybe you'll find it?
The wheels look good to me, I wouldn't think that the price is out of line. But as someone else noted, people are hesitant to spend money these days, so it may take a while to sell.
