Hey all, I'm looking for 19" GXP All-Season wheels(tire + rims) that someone wants to sell. I currently have 18" Summer tires and the winter is coming soon so I need new tires. I the future I plan to go with brembo or baer brakes so I need to get GXP rims. Let me know and we'll work out a price.

Already offered the guy 1200 + 150(shipping) and he told me to BID on it. I'm not gonna get in a bidding war so I'll just go ahead and wait. I think 1350 is pretty high and that he just walked away from a deal. I doubt he's gonna be able to sell.

Nope.... If no one bids then I'm gonna offer less than what I offered. Proof of no demand and the inconvenience of having to wait for him to realize the good deal I offered should reward me an even lower price.

Found a nice set of BBS GXP wheels on TireRack.com for $2164:

I think most of the semi new GXP wheels that have been sold around the forums have been going for over $2000. The 19" GT wheels are going for around $1200.

The Baer and Brembos will fit with the 19" GT wheels. Just not the GXP Brembos.

Those are real nice BBS's.

I'd rather have the BBSs than the stock GXPs. Probably just gonna go with that then.

yeah, i would think $1200 for GXP rims and tires would be a steal...for you.

I'll sell you my 19" Goodyear all seasons that came on my car for 400 bucks for the set... they are in excellent shape < 1000 miles on them.

r1owner, if you were selling the rims as well then I'd be interested.

Stock GXP rims are in the GM listing for what $289? And the stock tires are Goodyear RS-As that go for $100 each.

(289-Rims + 100-Tires) * 4 = $1556.

They are used so I'd say that decreases value by 20% and then he mentioned there are scratches on the rims.

I'd say $1200 is a good offer and I believe people paid over $2000 previously because GM didn't offer the rims before.

The Goodyears that are listed for 100 bucks aren't the correct speed rating for our car. The exact same RSA that replaces the OEM tires lists for 237 bucks a piece.

Gotta link to the 290 dollar GXP wheels? If so, I may have an extra set before you.

BTW, that set that just listed on ebay that has 5 days left already has a bid at 1200.

That's was the starting bid amount. I'm not paying more than $1200, I'd rather have the BBSs I posted earlier.

I found them for $299

Goodyear Eagles (High Perf) RS-A are $97
This site won't let me post the link.

Like I said check the speed rating on the 97 dollar tire. It's not the same tire as what ships... the OEM has a W speed rating.

Ah..... I see, your right. I figured they'd be named different but they're not. The 94Vs are their best seller, so I'm guessing people are buying the wrong tires then. Do you know if the GTs come with 94v or 94w??

I'm pretty sure the GT's had W's as well. At least the Bridgestones were.

I'm not tire savvy so why are the Goodyear Eagle GT RS-As (Ultra High Perf, 98W, $190ea) less than the Goodyear Eagle RS-As (High Perf, 94W, $237)?

Don't buy RS-A's at any price!! They are awful, especially after about 10K miles. Just replaced them with Eagle GT's. The GT's are what should have came on the car for the A/S option. Yes, Michelin Sport A/S are probably a little better tire, but at a price. 18" Eagle GT's are around $145 each. I think the Eagle GT's are your best tire for the price, if you are looking at an A/S tire.

Would you be interested in a set of 19 BBS CK Polished with Clear Coat on Goodyear RSA's. New, never been mounted.

Are they for the GXP? Honestly, the only other BBSs that I like are the CX-Rs.

I think there has been one guy that put together a spare for himself. I forget what his SN is.
