Yea TE37s hold their value really well, I purchased my 15s for like $1,400 about 2 years ago. I could probably sell it for a little more now TBH..

I can’t imagine $1000 cheap cast wheels on a $50k car. You obviously never driven a car with lightweight wheels before��
| I have, but there are also an ass load of wheels in the 15-17lb range way under 5k. The reports of wheels cracking are way overblown, literally never seen a set of wheels just fail from everyday driving. Nothing wrong with liking nice wheels, but common, most ppl are not cracking wheels with their crazy 300hp civics and stis driving to bbl tea down 3road.
/shrug.

I'd much rather buy a $5000 set of wheels and sell them for $4500 2 years later, over a set of wheels for 2 grand and sell for a grand with tires after the same time period. Car looks good, bank account feels good, wife stays unhappy either way

I'm sure you can connect the dots...
If someone put on expensive wheels on their car and park outside, it could get stolen.
Heck, theives are known to target Honda Civic and Accord stock wheels.

Full value if you can provide receipt. Tires included. This is based on my experience almost 10 years ago now.

Rental whip for my Arizona trip. Wanted a Mustang GT but ended up with this Challenger R/T from Hertz. Still a fun car. More boaty but sounds so good.

Looks like good times! You running studded or studless tires?
You're lucky that's a fresh track and the berms aren't solid ice. The track that gets plowed on the lake in Yellowknife every year isn't forgiving to mistakes haha.

Studless. No way I’m spending that money for ~4 days a year to just store them. I’m not gonna run studded in Richmond

You should have stayed for the second day! Conditions got slippery so everyone went balls out and ‘wall tapped’ every corner. We stayed late so there should be some sick drone footage coming soon as well
