Question about my re-sale price.

I am selling:

Lowenhart BR5 19 X 8.5 F
Lowenhart BR5 19 X 9.5 R
Nitto 555 235/35/19 F
Nitto 555 265/30/19 R
H&R Sport Springs
Bilstein Shocks

all for 3800 bucks shipped. Is that too cheap? Btw, they have all been around for 1 1/2 years.

Considering they're used for 1 1/2 year, the tires and shocks will need to be replaced soon, that price is actually alright, Lowenhart wheels are pretty pricey.

Not to disappoint you, but its hard to get a lot for aftermarket rims & suspension.

There is a set of Lowenhart BR5s (19s) with tires, practically new, going for $2200. The last time this item was listed from the same seller, it didn't even sell at $2200.

I doubt that someone will pay another $1600 for 1.5yr old shocks and springs.

But, good luck selling them. They are real nice rims.

Nah aftermarket wheels sell well. Popular brands, like Brabus, will easily sell for 75-80% of their value, based off of retail price, not list. I've sold my share of used wheels and the price you get is dependent on the popularity of the wheel.

Suspension, on the other hand, is a wear item. They will never sell for much.
