Advice please on how much you think a set(4) of 17" P1 wheels in anthracite are worth(no tyres). They are about 9 months old and have a few marks(chips) but no scuffing. I've been offered a set and I think he wants too much.
Cheers

To buy new from a Subaru dealer (no tyres), they are £250 each including the VAT (within a few £).

To buy them new with tyres from a dealer will cost around £1600!

Most sets sold new from P1, went for about £1100, although some did sell for a bit more, some for a bit less.

I bought a set with tyres (covered 4,000 miles and are lass than half worn) £900 about a month ago. There are no marks on the wheels, and the original tyres still have a good 10k miles left on them.

Without the tyres, and a few marks on the wheels, I would say they are worth no more than about £600, possibly a bit less depending on how damaged they are.

I got mine from my local dealer for £900. As new [less than 1000 miles] and including full geometry and prodrive settings.

Question

Davrhod,

I'm probably being a bit thick here but how did you manage to buy P1 wheels on their own that came *WITH* prodrive geometry settings!?!?

Did they have the car attached?

You are way over the top. I recently paid £740 for 4 new P1 gold wheels via my dealer plus £517 for 4 x 215/.40x17 S02's - total, fitted, £1257. As both 17" and 18" P1 wheels are now stock items s/h ones, marked, are unlikely to be worth more than £450 - 500.

Taff,if only. Unfortunately the dealer took the P1 off first, then did a full check of the geometry of my car and adjusted the settings . I only mentioned it so people could get some idea of the deals available and the going rate for the wheels. cheers Dave.

Dave,

remember though that the gold P1 wheels are substantailly less expensive than the anthracite ones. I think the gold ones retail at about £170+VAT each. Don't know why there is such a price difference ?

Ask Pete Lewis - must be a matter of taste.....

PS - you might be right about Anthracite - I thought they are less now they are freely available - but I could be wrong...
