replica 214 review

I've put 2,000 miles on my replica 214's and Yokohama Parada Spec-X tires and there are definitely pros and cons over the stock 18" 209 star wheel (with non-runflat Bridgstone Dueler H/L Alenzas). The pros are that they look better and corner better. The cons are that they are slightly louder, get 1-2 fewer miles per gallon, are not quite as good in deep snow and the wheels curb easy. The biggest difference is that the 18's feel much lighter, as if they're not there. I personally prefer the feel of the 18's but the 214's look too good to take off.

On a side note, I think I will probably list my factory wheels and tires on ebay but I don't know how much to charge. The wheels look new and the tires have less than 100 miles. What do you think would be a fair price for the set?
