TW: OEM Base Rims and Tires

I just recently bought a Base and would like to upgrade the rims and tires, but i really don't want to toss the current setup since they only have 1200 miles.

I am not sure how much I should sell them for, or if there is any level of interest in base tires/wheels so I thought I would test the waters.

Let me know what you think?

I would be insterested if you would consider shipping them COD to Michigan.

i think i will trade with a local shop.

To replace the tire pressure sensors I think I will need to spend at least $125, plus I would probably have to spend another $100 to have the dealer get the new ones working with the car.

If I am able to find a local shop to buy my wheels i think I might get $100-150. And once I factor in the $225 for the cost to get new Tire Sensors I am better off going this route.

Another member did this and was able to get new konig wheels and tires for under $600, and from a reputable company.

If I buy new wheels, tires, sensors (and have the dealer program) I will easily spend $900.
