How much should I expect to pay for used (~5k miles) stock 18" polished fanblades? They are off an '06. thanks
I think Ford sells them new for about $250 each. Ask your dealer for the best price, many will sell to you at a little above cost especially if you bought your car from them. And Ford, at least my dealer, doesn't charge anything for shipping. That makes the price really great. I am guessing that if list price is $250 each, you should be able to get the complete set at a discounted price for $750 or less. I personally wouldn't pay much more than half price for a used set. Check with your Ford dealer for his best price before you buy.
Forgot to mention that these are WITH the stock tires, stock mounting/balancing, etc. Guy is asking $500, but I wanted to see if anyone else bought/sold these wheels and what price was fair.
I really would like the bullitt style 18s but would settle for these for a while... right now I have the silver 17 bullitts.
500 is a good price. I don't like the fanblades either... That's why I got the 18 inch polished bullits. So bad ass.
tirerack.com has them for $209 each. I sold the factory 17" Bullitts with tires with less than 2000 miles for $500. $500 for the polished fanblades/tires seems very reasonable.
I sold mine with tires that had about 500 miles on them for $300. I think the guy who bought them from me never used them and is selling them now I can check for ya if you want. D
Got my stock fan blades for sale, you may be talking about mine for all I know.. If so, everyone here knows those wheels came off my car two weeks after purchae for my custom 20's. Next to no miles on them at all. I have them loaded on numerous forums for 500.00
I just happend to think, since these wheels are '06, they will NOT have the sensors in them for the TPS system... that sucks, maybe I should start looking for '07+ wheels OR try and use that as a barganing tool and live with the light being on...
I love the fanblades and went out of my way to find a car with them on it. I have had many, many compliments on them. $500 for tires and wheels is a good price. Missing sensors would be a problem.
Chances are, if you buy 07+ wheels, the previous owner would probably have yanked them off for use on his own car.
New Car take off has the wheels for $579.99 wheels & tires for $999.99 http://www.newtakeoff.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWPROD&ProdID=8169
Fan blades vs 18 inch Bullets I had a choice between the two when I got my 07. I liked the original Bullets because of the machined rim, especially in anthracite, but when I saw the silver 18s I thought they looked super cheap-like someone painted them with a can of cheap spray paint and they looked more like hubcaps. Fanblades aren't the best but the newer Bullets-blah. Now for 08 I see the blades have a dark spoke center. I like those. Look like Beyonds.
The Ford dealer I bought my new 07 GT told me I that since mine came with the 18" wheels I could take either set. (they would swap out with another new Mustang on the lot). I liked the fan blades much more than the polished bullets and that's what I took. Obviously, which wheel you like is an individual preference and everyone has different tastes. That goodness for choices!
