Keep an eye on eBay.

Out of curiosity... what WOULD you sell those wheels for?

Well.....
...if you have to ask....
Just kidding.
I don’t know. A set of the standard silver ones seems to be trading around the $1,500 mark these days, and are becoming harder and harder to find.
Since I DO own a 550 SE and these were made for THIS car, I would hate to part with them and break up the Special Edition provenance.
I replaced the muffler with an FVD Brombacher “Sound Version” and the secondary cats with some delete pipes, and all of those OEM parts are shrink wrapped and sitting in my garage for posterity.
I like the idea of having a second set of wheels with tires mounted on them in case I get a flat.
I just don’t know.
It’s funny, before I bought these silver Carrera Lights, I actually bought another front and another rear SE wheel from one that got wrecked.
So I have thread front and three rear SE Seal Gray Carrera Light wheels just sitting here.
I guess if someone offered me $5,000 I’d take it.
But I just don’t know.
Hmmm........

I have a set I'm selling for $750. I have a buyer out of Kentucky who has dibs on them for now though. I'm guessing that's you, but that's a big coincidence if not.

Jefferson....
..If that IS you, just buy Woody's set.
I will vouch for Woody, along with anyone else who ever met the man.
If he says his wheels are solid, you can take that to the bank.
For $750, it's a steal.
Woody is THE MAN!

Yeah Woody, we’ve been talking via text about the wheels and steering wheel. Definitely buying your set. PayPal ready!

No I get it, I wouldn’t dare sell those wheels considering they were made for that car. But hey, had to ask
