Are these the split 5 spoke 20's with the machined face, or the 5 spoke with the raised spoke centers, painted and clearcoated, or something else. There were a couple of styles.

Yikes. I had a set of brand new S63 take-offs (rims only) on Ebay for awhile and the best I could do was $1200. I ended up keeping them and using them myself. OEM are always preferrable but a staggered set of those same wheels as a replica is around $800.
$2500 or so for these is probably fair, maybe a little more or less depending on how fresh the tires are.
Assuming the tires have no miles and they have TPMS sensors, I wouldn't go a dime over $2k shipped. You can get brand new replicas with sensors and the same tires for much less. And the replicas are likely just as good as the factory wheels.

Replicas typically don't have the TPMS sensors (most people just swap them over from their take offs.) They run almost $200 a piece from MB. Not sure where else you can get them.
The replicas are around $800 on Ebay plus another $150 shipping. A set of OEM spec Continental ContiSportContact 2 or Dunlop SP Sport Maxx GT are $1,500 plus around $70 for shipping from TireRack.
Presuming you would swap over your existing TPMS you'd be at $2,520 for new replicas and tires. So if the OP's tires were relatively fresh and OEM spec I'd rather spend the same money and get the OEM. F
For the OP to sell the set for $2k shipped he'd need to be at around $1,800 on the wheels, or less than the price of the replicas, which probably ain't happening.
If you have a cheaper source for wheels, TPMS and tires post it up. Those are just the best numbers I've ever been able to come up with.

BTW, he states the tires are Pirelli P zero, which are currently $972 for the full set on Tirerack.

New sensors on EBAY can be had for $139 for all 4 shipped. A full set of staggered Yokahama Advan Sport A/S tires for those wheels runs $586 + $60 shipping at Tirerack. The replica wheels run $857 shipped on Ebay. So all in for under $1624, including sensors. Figure another $80 or so for mounting and balancing, and you're right at $1700.
BTW, seller states that the tires are Pirelli P zero's, which are currently selling for $972 for the full staggered set on Tirerack.

Yeah if the tires aren't OEM the value drops quite a bit. Personally I won't run anything but Michelin Super Sports anyway. Good to know about the sensors.
Everything else less expensive I've run have eaten rears at about double the rate of the fronts. Same load ratings as the Super Sports but must be a much gummier compound and the heft of the ***-end is murder on them . Plus the SS ride and handle like nothing else, not even the Michelin A/S are quite as smooth, but I guess in areas where it snows they're a must. The SS turn into bowling ***** below 40 degrees.

I was waiting on someone to come thru with some more down to earth numbers.
