How much should I pay for 18" Carrera 5-spoke wheels?

Looking to get a set of summer wheels, and came across a deal for a set of 18" Carrera wheels like new (off a low mileage car, no scrapes or anything), for $1699 including shipping. I noticed with tires the retail price on these wheels is around $3800. I figure about $1k to buy new tires so I'm at about $2700 at that point.

Is $1699 shipped a pretty decent deal or should I keep shopping?

Unfortunately the search function still isn't working or I'd search for this answer...

Thanks!
Scott

I paid $1500 + shipping with new tires (less than 1k miles).

I have 2 sets of OE Turbo Twists that I am selling. One with 11" rears and summer tires, and one with 10" rears and snows. The fronts on each set are 8". Let me know if you are interested. Both are in excellent condition.

Watch Ebay. They pop up all the time from 1500 to 2000.

What's wrong with $1,700 with tires and shipping? Sounds like a good price.

That's still a good price for a very good, light weight, and attractive wheel.
