Default Regarding stock LX wheels

Hello again,

I was just wondering.. If I were to sell my stock 15" LX wheels off my 2004 Ford Focus, how much would I be looking at getting? Let's just say they are in good condition, only minor cosmetic marks and what not. The tyres themselves are Federal's with good tread left (wouldnt be able to give you an exact amount, but certainly not low). I am not neccessarily going to sell them, I just wanted to know if they are worth anything!

Thanking You
Nick

You could go as high as 200 for the set assuming they are steel wheels with the tyres, if the rims prob 250 would be a nice sound figure with tyres that are still useable and legal.

Yeah they are the rims, not the steel wheels. I was tempted to buy a 5th wheel today, so I rang up Ford and they wanted $568 for the wheel and tyre, I couldn't believe it hey.

I wouldn't bother selling the set for $250, doesn't seem worth the hassle hey.

Nah I wouldn't bother mate. No doubt they'll come in handy some time. Especially if you look at selling the car in future. Better off selling the car with stockies and keeping the aftermarkets ;)

I was in the same dilemna and in hindsight I should have kept my stock wheels. So if you don't need to sell them I'd recommend you don't. Have you ever got a quote to replace them from a Dealer. From memory they're not cheap!!!

That's about right.
