$200 for a set of GS wheels... that's a joke. They go for less than half.

Hope these aren't yours.

its prolly not that bad of a price if you add up 2 gs rims + 2 sport demon tires.  gl with the sale.

$200 for wheels and practically new tires?  Plus axles and spacers.  I didn't think that was that bad.

Oh well, that's why I have the best offer option there.

Getting rotors and sprockets and all the other parts is a good deal.
Someone should grab them.
I recently got the gray rims for Junior so I'm sorry I don't need those.
Good deal though. I've shopped enough ebay to know a deal price when I see it.

I sold mine for $35 a piece plus shipping. Guess I shoulda charged more. But, thought I'd pass along a deal because of what another GStwinner did for me. Actually, Adidas didn't you buy one from me? . Still got a black rim with rotor and a not so good tire I need to get rid of.

Yes I did. Thank you! Ready to put on Suzi so she has white rims. (when I recover and weather is warmer and dryer)

Now THAT is more realistic. Based on completed auctions on ebay (or auctions without any interest because they were priced high)

PS: Adidasguy, I prefer not to have a pissing contest... but since you said you shop on eBay and know a good price when you see one (and you think this IS priced right), let me know when you need GS wheels because I would LOVE to sell to you. I've tried to list some on ebay for HALF this price and nobody even bid on them. Oh yeh and I've been selling/buying on eBay (mostly selling) for 11 years now.

Based on other wheels, most do not include the brake rotors (usually $40 for a rotor) or the cush drive. So that's why I felt the price was reasonable. Without good tires or the extras, and very few dings or scratches, $50-$75 a wheel is a pretty common price. Lower if the wheel needs to be repainted.

Then sometimes there are really good deals. I got 2 brand new front rims, white, never used for $80 each.

Prices go all over the place and vary from time to time. For a while, factory clip ons were all over the palace. Now, hard to find. One buy can charge $30 for as full set and another will charge $45 for one bar.

Wheels vary, too. When I wanted gray rims for Junior, it took 2 months to find good ones. I didn't want to have to repaint them. You also have to figure in shipping. Some guys charge $25 while others charge $80. Some rims are advertised as "tested straight" and others you don't know. I'll pat a little extra for a tested wheel. With the economy down, prices for some things are lower. Seems front wheels go for more than rear - probably because front wheels get damaged more. It might be better to sell the wheels separately. $75 OBO for each. If tested straight - that's a big plus because who wants a crooked wheel that was in a crash? Or wants to take that chance?  More people probably need a front wheel than a rear.

Also, not being the main riding season, prices are all over the place. Center tail plastic pieces are like $20 or more. A few months ago they were $5 or so. Go figure  

Pissing matches are fun as long as in the winter and you get to write your name in the snow. Dotting the "I" and crossing the "T" take the extra skill.
