The wheels are probably great,
but maybe no-one in North Queensland wants them right now.

Yeah, I put a price of $500 on them. figure thats cheap enough. Maybe I should get them repaired and fit new tyres on them and then see what happens

It may be because they are 17's and nowadays everyone wants at least 18's.

If these were in E series offset, I'd have them. There's nothing wrong with them, but 6 spoke 17s are not popular, as you may have noticed yourself given that you changed from them. And the price is excellent.

I didn't change them due to style, I needed new tyres and when I went in to buy them my new rims were there at a price I couldn't say no to. Also tyres were getting to cheap so I needed a bigger rim to bump the price up. But if the Revo's were abalible in 19's I'd buy them at any cost

If I lived a lot closer and had the spare cash, I'd probably snap them up.
I guess there's nothing wrong with them, just people being short on cash, or not close enough to grab them. Quote:

whats wrong is that there are too many decent looking factory mags, with good tyres on the market for <$800. Yours need repairs and don't come with rubber, the replacement cost of the rubber and the cost of repairs means your going to find it hard to offload them for what they are worth unfortunately.

So $500
+$200 for repairs +$500 for rubber =$1200 and thats too much for a set of wheels that arn't on every other car? |
