Now i understand that people can get cheaper aftermarket wheels, but that is comparing apples to oranges. True, they are both fruits, but vary drastically.
A lot of things new from dealer are more expensive than they're worth; that's the cost of buying brand new. I'd say the PP wheels are probably worth 150-175 in a best case scenario. Worst-case 100-125ish each.

You're also selling with a specific set of non-spec (as in, not the ones from factory) new tires that potentially not everybody wants, and they're brand new, and you're not giving the option of buying separately.

Like I said, good luck. It's been a month for you though from what I can tell, and these usually go quickly.
