I just picked up 17" 2010 GT rims and Yokohamas from a forum member (thanks to Duke!).
A very nice improvement from the stock Mazda3 GX 16" tires.

I have no idea what to list my standard tires/steelies/hubcaps for.
They only have 800klm's on them, and are essentially new 205/55/16 Turanza's,
steelies, and hubcaps.

Can anyone suggest an asking price?
I'll put them on Kijiji, as I don't have enough posts to list them here in the classified section.
I'm thinking somewhere around $350, but suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance,
Ted.

Have a look in the Classifieds for what wheels have been going for on here. As you know, you won't be able to sell them on here till you reach 50 posts though.

I would also have a look on kijiji if you plan on listing them there for the prices that people have been selling them for. That will give you a better idea.

standard rate for used tires are $45/each installed
cost of 16" steelies new is about $60/ea

I think $350 is fair considering it is OE Mazda, but people dont buy things at "fair" prices.

just my $0.02

Thanks for the quick responses.
Kijiji seems to be full of vendors selling well used tires these days.
I'm thinking $350 is fair ... as you say, these are new, OEM takeoffs.

If I don't get any action, I'll simply keep the package for our slushy, salty winters.
For really snowy days, I have access to two other cars in my driveway, both equipped with snow tires.

14 posts in over two years on the forums ... pretty sad, I know.
Especially when I consider I've owned 5 different Mazda's since June 2008.

Wish me luck.

Well, I went with $350 and posted on Kijiji a few minutes ago.

I also cleaned up and mounted my "new to me" GT rims.
I'm really please with the condition of these rims.

Here are my OEM basic steelies and rubber.

Here is my new Mazda3 with GT rims.

And, here is a pic of my other Mazda, a 91 BRG Miata with only 95klms.

Slowly getting my post count up ... someday, I'll hit that magical 50 post count:)

I am interested in the wheel covers, PM me if you like to sell them seperately.
