Used items in very good condition typically get attention at around 50% of retail. Anything over that requires a special item or buyer.
That's my experience/opinion since you asked...

Former Vendor of MBWorld
Just to give some input. I bought some ADV.1 Trackfunktion 10 wheels for $3,800 from the original owner that put 3k miles on them and paid almost 7K. I then put new tires on them and drove them for 500 miles. Then I decided to sell them. I sold them for $2500. Not trying to kill you. Just giving you an idea of how much they depreciate.

Dreamer comments? nobody is going to pay close to 5 grand for a used set of bbs wheels. There are plenty of deals all over the place for authentic bbs/dpe/hre/work wheels that are less than half the cost new in mint condition. Also, there are tons of companies with great looking reps priced NEW for about 1k.
Reprice your stuff and it'll get sold.
Great wheel though, good taste.

DB I think you're inaccurate here. I think anyone who has enough money to buy an E55 (no matter how cheap they get it for) knows what he's buying. He is somewhat of an enthusiast and with that would come some minimal knowledge of the difference between original and rep wheels. I think what 613 was saying is that for the same amount of money, there are countless options out there. If I was ready to drop $4500 on some wheels, it would take me 6 months to decide which route to go. OR, I can buy "reps" (all cast wheels included in this category) for $1K and use $3500 to mod and have the fastest car on the block.
I have a set of InCurve whatever model number they are. I know they are cheap, maybe worth $800-$1,000? They're probably heavy and may not be the most technologically engineered wheels in the world. But you know what, they spin true, and break necks everywhere I go.
Also for the money I saved I got some Kleemann headers, a smaller SC pulley and a tune and I am putting down 480HP and 538 TQ. OP, sick wheels bud and I don't want to beat a dead horse but you know what you need to do to sell these bad boys. GLWS!

Nice wheels!
I have owned 3 sets of 19" BBS LMs for my various BMWs, and they usually moved used with decent tires in the $3-$3.5K range. I sat on a set of E39 M5 fitment LMs with NEW PS2s for half a year at $4200, the second I put them at $3500 they sold.
It may work the same for you.
Good luck though. I'd love to have them, but I have a strange fixation on the SL65 multi-piece I have mounted right now.
