Question Need Help ....

just wondering if i can get some help from you guys. I have 18 inch 5zigen Super 6's wrapped with 215-35-18 Nankang NS-2's (whack tires). The 2 front wheels have bends on the lip and one is actually losing air becuase of the bend. Im considering getting new wheels all together instead of repairing the bastards. I've had the set since august and have about 5000 miles on em. How much do you guys think is a reasonable price to sell the set of 4 for? $500? $600?

The wheels are priced at $212 each. And i bought the set new for around 1300. I need help for a good selling price guys ...

With 2 bent lips, and wack rubber best bet would be 350 - 450. Cuzz u figuer it will take about 100 -200 to fix the bent lips. And if there powder coated well then it will cost a lil more to fix them.

yeah ... the tires are pieces of crap IMO .... so do you guys think that i'm better off repairing my rims for 110 each and getting thicker tires? the reason i wanted a new set is because i wanted more cushion by getting 17's with 215-45-17 tires. The roads in CA suck. But if im only probably gonna get 350-400 bucks out of all 4 i might as well just repair em right? After all, American Tire Co. is willing to buy the tires for 40 bucks each.

I'll buy 2 of your tires for $40 each... Maybe even all 4 of them...
I have 215-40-18s and need 2 new ones soon.
