OEM Wheel Cost

[Speedy Emira]

My us dealer told me it’s $8k for a set of wheels. But he might have been spit balling he didn’t get a quote from parts

I guess regardless of whether they are 8k or 13k it is stupid money for a set but it wouldn’t surprise. In 2015 I nearly bought an Audi RS5 and was told the 19 inch wheels were £1200 each. Pretty sure the newer model that came out went to 20s and could easily of been £1500 each in 2018.
Either way the thing we need to consider is dealers and owners looking to buy used are likely to want a set of OEM wheels included or it will affect the price.
Personally now I’m on Aerie V2s mine will be cleaned, tyres rubber treated, wrapped in HD tyre clung-film and stacked in my office store room. Not a chance will I sell them just in case.

Insurance quoted me $3,500 to replace one front wheel

This is why used sets go for a fraction of the price. OEM wheels cost an arm and a leg, aren’t light, and everyone already has them. Only insurance buys them lol.

I actually just got a quote for an OEM set of wheels and winter tires from my dealer. I personally love the look of the diamond cut factory wheels. They came back at 1853 per rear wheel and 1638 per front wheel. All in cost with some winter tires was $9873. now I’m debating what to do. Do I go with GRP? Do I just have my mobile tire guy switch out the goodyears with some winter tires or all seasons and hope no damage occurs in all the tire juggling? I really don’t want to stop driving this thing in the colder days.

Normally, I’m one to buy winter wheels and tires and swap them out myself, but the cost here is pretty high for extending the season by a month on either side of winter.

I am facing the same dilemma. I already have another fun car with separate winter and summer wheels. I really do not want another set of wheels to manage but I am considering it.

Hey everybody
I just purchased a complete Emira OEM winter wheel set in Germany at Lotus Munich including tires for EUR 3.800 which is about USD 4.000 (including VAT, shipping and installation) last Friday. (Black shiny rims including black center cap)
If anybody seriously pays USD 10 k for that I'll open up a shop and fly the rims via Germany to the US ... these prices are almost ridiculous
Best regards
