Anyone looking for wheels?
#12
I know it's a different market, but I look for wheels on a daily basis on Craiglist...here's an example of what is available right now in the Seattle market which is a more expensive market for Land Rovers. I'm not trying to burst your bubble, just trying to make sure you're not banking on making that much from your wheels to fund your new ones.
Set of 4 DII 16" Mirage - $75
Set of 4 DI wheels with stock size tires - $140 (been up for sale for months)
Set of 5 DII 16" Mirage wheels at junk yard - $120
Set of 4 DI wheels, no tires - $125
I bought a set of 5 DI spares with tires for $20 total

Maybe they arent called natos, Im thinking the wheels Lucky8llc sells. It says they come in a 15X7, 15X8, 15X10, 15X12, 15X14. Am i reading it wrong when i assume that means they are all 15" wheels? And if stock wheels are going for 100 each, That means a full set would be $500 and mine are chromed, They arent damaged that bad id say they are all at an average of 7/10. So how is 350 too much?! for four chromed stock OEM wheels and an unchromed spare? If i bought new wheels it would cost me at least 400 plus 30 in shipping.

You cannot price a new item based on it's replacement cost. You can price it based on the local rate for said items. But most people are not willing to pay near new prices for used wheels. Even if they appear to be 10/10 condition. $350 + shipping for used chrome wheels that will need work to get looking good compared to $430 with shipping for a new set that can be rattle canned any color you'd like. I'd buy the new ones any day. But there are people out there that want the chromed wheels, it just might take longer to find them at that price, which means it will be longer before you can buy the ones you want.

From the local market:
00 01 02 03 04 LAND ROVERY DISCOVERY OEM WHEELS 16X8 -- Set of 4 - D2 16" factory rims, no curb rash, no offroad use, like new. $250 OBO for five.
5 land rover 18" wheels and tires - D2 18" factory rims and used tires, one has curb rash/some damage, no center caps, no lug nuts. $250 for five.
04 land rover stock rims with tires - 2004 D2 18 factory rims and used tires. $200 for four.
Have you seen this one? MT tires on 16 inch Land ROver Steel rims D1 spare rims, set of 4 spray-bombed black, with 45% (or less from the pics) remaining 265/75-16 Truxus MT tires on them. $275. I bet I know the seller of these too. They clearly take a lot of weight to balance out - see pics. But, maybe they'll scratch your itch?
I like my NATOs just fine. They're heavy as all get out, but take a lickin' on the trail without failure.

Those are not NATOs. You'll have to ask Justin who the manufacturer is (didn't see it listed on his site when I glanced at it). You are reading that right: 15" diameter by 7" width, and so forth.

FOR EXAMPLE : The window sticker from my 2002 Land Rover Discovery says the price is somewhere in the ballpark of $39K, does that mean I can charge that much for it now with 9 years of wear, 131,000 miles, and some trail pinstriping? SURE! I can CHARGE whatever I think it's worth, but it's never going to sell at that price.
I really hope you prove me wrong, but you're not going to.

Full disclosure next time....you said "wheels" and made no mention of tires until now. What brand of tire? What kind of condition? How much tread is left? How old?
Now to clear up my end. My Kalahari is for sale for full sticker price of $39K. The truck is worth about $5K, but there is roughly $40K of gold boullion in the boot!
