Now that I have new wheels, What do I do with my Aeros?

[Glamisduner]

I bought TPMS sensors for them and I was thinking I would use them for possible future road trips.
However I live in San Diego, and I don't think it's worth them taking up space just for this purpose.

The other thing they provide me with though is a spare tire.
They have about 8k miles on them and I just don't know what to do with them.

It might be nice to have a set when I sell the car someday, but this is likely years out. And perhaps I could sell / swap wheels with someone when that time comes?

I sold my Aeros when I got new wheels and now I wish I just kept them for road trips

Very good snow tire rims. I use them for that. Nice size and can find plenty of tire choices for that size. Not for you, but someone in a less warm climate. Road trip to Escondido anyone?

How are those Titan7's treating you? I am at rated range or better on the 18's. Like mine very much.

Donate them to Goodwill and be glad you no longer have the ugliest wheel covers on the road.

Well I already sold the wheel cap kit. I never ran them with the covers hah.

I like them, but the PS4S tire selection along with the wider wheel has reduced my range. It handles even better now though.

Happy to pay for shipping for them.... could use a set for snow tires.

Sell them on the marketplace forum.

 

[Glamisduner]

If I sell them, what do I do when I sell / trade in the car?

you can sell as is, or swap someone for theirs plus cash? Should be EASY to do in CA .

Craigslist.

Aside from curbed wheel replacement, who's the market for this?

Anyone looking for winter tires? I see you’re from the OC. Not exactly a problem there, but here on the east coast ...... yeah. An extra set for snow shoes would be great.

I would pick up a extra set because I like my aerowheels with aero wheel covers.
They are much cheaper than buying new OEM tires.
After the tires wear out I can put winter tires on.

At tirerack.com, OEM tires are $891 without TPMS.
How much are the used 18" set?

@Glamisduner I'd be interested in buying them from you if the cost to buy and ship across the country isn't too absurd. I need another set of wheels for winter tires and I like the stock 18s. Shoot me a PM if you're interested in discussing.

As a set of 4 they are probably worth about $600 with 8,000 miles on them. I bet a lot of people with 18” wheels wouldn’t mind buying a single one to keep in the garage as a spare tire.

Where are you seeing $891? I see: $1133

Are you mistaking the Volvo speced Primacy Touring for the MXM4's?

Damn if that's all they are worth I'll just keep them. I mean sure they are used tires, but I just spent money on the new TPMS sensors in them so if I can only get $600 id be way better off keeping them.

That was a ridiculously low-ball price. They’re probably worth around $1,000 based on what I’ve seen on eBay and elsewhere.

The rubber will degrade after a few years. Unless you want the wheels for some other reason, you might as well get some cash for them.

 

[Candleflame]

you need a second set for winter tires anyway.
