Default ELGT Rims

How much would you expect to pay for ELGT rims?

What sizes do they come in standard/stock and aftermarket?

What would the prices of each be?

I'm Hoping for some aftermarket 18'' ones?

Genuines are 17 X 8.5" and sell for up to $1500 second hand.

Replicas are 17 X 8" and sell new for about $1600 with cheap tyres.

There is no such thing as 18" EL GT rims.

Ahh damn! I had a feeling that they didn't exist.

Thanks for that info, I love these wheels.

One more question, Witch are better? I mean witch would be considered more popular? The second hand originals or the aftermarkets?

And if the Genuines are kept in Good Conditon they will keep a better resale value
